Bill: Thanks for posting the pics. I have a silver & green P. Int'l M9. Though I do not find the black finish as appealing as that of the original, this variant was unusual enough I decided to get it. It makes one wonder why 20 of their number were scrapped. I just can't see anyone tossing out 20 completed bayonets. One would think the scabbard & other components would have been salvaged & perhaps only the blades "demilled". Maybe a couple went on a plaque like you pictured. One of these days maybe I can get more details out of Homer B. if he can recall the specifics...
