I feel the same, though for me the investment potential is not one i subscribe too, no kids and single so dont care how much my colelction is worth - may be different when i retire. I collect bayonets in general, if i start colelcting one model "seriously" i try to get every version, variation and type of the there is, from the original first through every re incarnation and modfication. I dont think a collection of any model would be complete if it didnt include, repro's fakes, commercial copies etc. Of course in the M9 case this is hard since there is a huge commercial aspect that brings new versiosn out on a regular basis (M11A1 anyone). The problem with this is that it can force prices up as you strive to get ones you dont have, be it hollow ground, Australian, Dutch, shallow fuller etc. It is what collecting i all about, and thnkfully ther is always a new need coming up.
