American Historical Foundation Desert Storm Commemorative

[Carlo]

I was finally (!!) able to grab one of these Desert Storm Commemorative.
Here few pictures with comparison shots between the desert storm and the USMC commemorative, both commissioned by the American Historical Foundation.
Looking at the few pictures previous available of this bayonet, I had been wondering why the tan color of the handle was so different from the other tan M9s.
The reason is quite simple: they just paint a tan color over a standard handle (I'm not able to tell if the original color was green or black).
