Sully Posted July 1, 2014 Share #3 Posted July 1, 2014 Looks like a cross between the M3 trench knife and the M4 bayonet. I'm thinking a put together from parts or an aftermarket piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKIPH Posted July 1, 2014 Share #6 Posted July 1, 2014 It's what I believe to be an Imperial M3/M4. I have a nice one. Now here's my train of thought Camillus, PAL, and Imperial all used brown spacers on their M4 bayonets. The one pictured looks like it has a black & brown spacer. Imperial was the only maker I have seen using black spacers. Also, Imperial's M3 pommels were more rounded around the top, PAL & Camillus pommels tended to be flat. Imperial, and PAL were both using "V" cut grooves in their M4 handles, Camillus was not. The other factor would be that Imperial made over 854,000 M3s, and over 730,000 (Gary's figure} M4s. To me Imperial would be the most likely to have a bunch of left over parts from their contracts. This is strictly my rational, based on speculation, no science here. I could be 100% wrong.
