Gentleman. I have the opportunity to purchase a rubber handled M4 bayonet for my small M4 collection. I can get one via a private purchase or from a local auction site. I have yet to see the one from the auction house but have a photograph of the private purchase one. It is from a reputable collector that I have purchased items from before. What the two bayonets have in common is the statement that they are unmarked. No makers name. Now I know that the rubber handled M4s were unofficially refurbished G.I. bayonets, but if that is the case, why was the original marked guard not retained?

If I remember correctly a bunch came into the country a few years ago that were unmarked and thought to originate from South Korea.

Just puzzled as to why the guards would need replacing during a refurbishment. I know the one pictured came via South Korea Sactroop.They are not a common bayonet here (N.Z.) and the one at auction is the first I have seen.
