Got to agree there or my BCN M9 woudl be worth a fortune, it is unlikley that commemeratives will rise markedly in value, but as i said it isnt why i collect, their value will be down to people like me and Bill who try to collect every variation we can, Civilian blades have never been worth as much as Military issue, with some small excpetions with specially enscribed German and British blades or ones dedicated to a person or position. But to each their own.....
