"Original" M-9 rod-tang configuration
Please be advised that prior art as cited by Davis in patent 4,458,420 is now available in "photoserver".
In this regard, Dickerman is featured, so as to evidence what the technical language of my patent document is referring to. Comments which accompany such information will help understanding. If Davis cites Dickerman, and Finn cites Davis, then you tell me who really brought forth "the original tang/rod configuration", and associated the idea of impact resistance conjoined with modularity. Just where exactly did Mr. Finn get the idea for the M-9 hilt? Generally speaking, every patent carefully explains what IS invented, not the opposite.
Thank you for opportunity to share experience with the M-9, perhaps the finest bayonet in world history.
