Jeez, I wonder how long before the Franklin Mint is going to offer their own version of a commemorative M9?

copy and paste these for auction results (#1 & #2 listed in the order sold, third is up for grabs currently as of 4/19/2006 and was listed within an hour of me posting this)

I purchased an Army and a USMC model in October 2003. They were $129 each. That price has seemed to hold steady on the retail market with ocassional better deals to be had on ebay.

Concerning redshank's comment on the Franklin Mint; they produced a Desert Storm M9 bayonet and commemorative plaque back in 1991. The American Historical Foundation had a DS commemorative the same year. One of these is up on ebay right now.
