Looks like someone forgot to add the globe to my bayonet, as I can't see it in the blade etchings!!!!

I just received an interesting email regarding the missing globe from the blade etchings.
Here is part of it:
"
Carlo -
I was founder, owner and president of The American Historical Foundation when we issued the Armed Forces Bayonets of Honor.
The round symbols etched on the blade are the early (1800's) design of the USMC symbol. This is, since then and until present, the symbol used on the buttons of the USMC dress uniform."
Mystery solved!!!!!!
P.S. For those interested. I was informed that the American Historical Foundation was sold in September 2005 and the firearms division remained under the American Historical name. The knife division is now operating as EK Knife Company.
Take a look at their nice bayonets
