While on the Chevron M9 Bayonet, here is another of these knives as would have remained in military service. I verified with the seller that this knife was not marked opposite the Chevron Phrobis markings.
Here is a link to the auction
I can not help but wonder if the seller knew what happened when the bidding went for the stars but the final bid price was a very real $1,247.22.
EDIT: I e-mailed and talked with the seller of this knife and he verified he had no idea why this knife was special and sold for what it did. I sent him a link to our website and he gave me permission to use his description and photos from the auction:
Quote:US M9 Phrobis III Bayonet with Sheath. Knife handle and sheath are both green. Knife has been used, and has wear marks from sharpening and placement in and out of sheath. Bayonet to gun attachment still has good spring. Winning bidder pays shipping cost. If winning bidder lives in Illinois sales tax is included. We accept PayPal payment.
Following are photos from the auction as this will fall of EBAY in a couple months...
EDIT: Pics fixed as they were lost in the server move...
