MattS Posted October 7, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 7, 2017 If someone was going to try and collect the complete "M-series", does this look correct? M1 - bayonet for the M1 Garand, 10" M2 - paratrooper switchblade knife M3 - fighting/trench knife produced from 1943-1944 M4 - bayonet for the M1 Carbine produced with leather and later plastic grips M5 and M5A1 - bayonet for the M1 Garand introduced in 1954 M6 - bayonet for the M14 rifle M7 - bayonet for the M16 rifle M7 - scabbard for the M1 bayonet M8 and M8A1 - scabbards for the M3 through M7 M9 - bayonet for the M16/M4 rifles introduced in 1986 M10 - black plastic scabbard for the M7 M10 - black scabbard for the M9 bayonet M11 - EOD knife Any corrections or omissions? I am currently short a few of these, trying to make sure I didn't miss any. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheskett Posted October 7, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 7, 2017 Well that is a nice handy list. Thanks for posting. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misfit 45 Posted October 7, 2017 Share #3 Posted October 7, 2017 MattS, I am not familiar with the M10 black scabbard for the M9 bayonet. Could you fill me in, reference picture or history? Thanks. Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactroop Posted October 7, 2017 Share #4 Posted October 7, 2017 Dang, without even knowing I'm so close to a complete set It's going to be hard to resist filling it now. The M2 will be problematic since I can't have a fully functional one here where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv Hi Marv, Here is a picture of one of mine. It came packed with a new in the wrap Ontario M-7 bayonet I purchased about 10 years ago. -Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking73 Posted October 7, 2017 Share #7 Posted October 7, 2017 Here is a close-up of the markings. I'm sure it was cheaper to make than the standard M8A1 scabbard. -Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking73 Posted October 7, 2017 Share #8 Posted October 7, 2017 Oops- I just noticed you were asking about the M-10 scabbard for the M-9 bayonet, NOT the M-7. My apologies gents! -Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misfit 45 Posted October 7, 2017 Share #10 Posted October 7, 2017 I don't know anything about them, saw this reference on Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M9_bayonet I have seen references like that, but I have not seen any M9 articles (either web or books) that indicate any official designation of an M series scabbard for the M9 bayonet. Maybe you can scratch that one off your list. I wonder if the era of the M series designation for knives and bayonets is over. Great list though. I have one guard marked M3 and like Sactroop, no M2. No M11 either. Got all the others. Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinb Posted October 7, 2017 Share #13 Posted October 7, 2017 You need to include Scabbard, M3, in your list. It's for the M1905 bayonets of WW2 manufacture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
