Unstamped Phrobis?
I purchased this unsharpened, unfinished, and unstamped M9 bayonet recently. The bayonet was taken apart to show the blade. I compared it to all of the variations of Phrobis M9's that I have including: 3 line flat top M, 3 line regular M, 4 line narrow USA, 4 line wide USA, etc. The only one that matched perfect was the 4 line wide USA. The blade was purchase from a guy close to Camillus, NY. Interestingly, it came with an unmarked scabbard that is the exact same one as used on the USMC-M9 Buck + (without Buck or Phrobis markings).
The blade I am talking about is shown in the photos on the right, or the top. The other blade is shown for comparison (4 line wide USA).
Has anyone every seen an unstamped blade like this before?
