Hello everyone. I found your website when I was searching for "Commemorative M9 Bayonet" on Google.
I am a former Marine and did a tour in Iraq back in 2004-05. While I was there, a good friend of mine sent me an Ontario M9 Commemorative Bayonet. I kept it in the box and it is in 100% perfect condition. I don't think there are many other of these M9's that have actually been in Iraq.
It is the Operation Iraqi Freedom Knife with "NO OUTCOME BUT VICTORY" stamped on it. It is the MARINE version and there was only 500 of them made. It has "1 of 500" stamped on it, but I do not think this is the actual #1 knife. There is a "430" imprinted on the paper sheath, but I have seen the same "430" on another knife on the internet. So, this is not knife #430 either.
I am wondering if any of you can help me out. I am trying to figure out what it's worth. Should I hang on to it or sell it?
Thanks! - Rob
