GregV Posted November 8, 2021 #1 Posted November 8, 2021 So, I ran across part of my old collection of M9 bayonets. They’ve been in a box, stored away for about 10 years. They are cool, so I have to keep a couple. Just can’t bring myself to unload all of em. Any opinions on the best two to hang on to? Any idea of the value of these? I’ll try to post some pics. Thanks.
Misfit 45 Posted November 8, 2021 #2 Posted November 8, 2021 The bottom one is a real prize, that's the best of the lot. The one with the chevron date code. That's worth some money. (If is is marked on the back BUCK 188, then it's not the one I hoped is was) Next. the USMC M9 is a keeper. Next, the plain flat top 'M" lazy 9 is a great. You can sell the other two and not feel bad about it. They are third and forth generation M9s. Those two can be replaced later if you want to. Marv
GregV Posted November 8, 2021 Author #3 Posted November 8, 2021 Great👍Thanks for the info. The Chevron marked m9 is not marked on the obverse.
Papas-Toybox Posted November 8, 2021 #4 Posted November 8, 2021 USMC and Buck Chevron are solid keepers.
Papas-Toybox Posted November 8, 2021 #5 Posted November 8, 2021 1st photo Gen2 2nd photo USMC 3rd photo Gen3 4th & 5th photos Gen 4 6th photo Gen 1 Awesome collection.
GregV Posted November 8, 2021 Author #6 Posted November 8, 2021 Thanks…. appreciate the info. Photos 5&6 are both gen 4. One seems to have fine lettering, the other deeper or wider. Maybe just the difference in the actual stamp used???? Thanks
Papas-Toybox Posted November 8, 2021 #7 Posted November 8, 2021 Look at the O on Phrobis. One looks like the letter O, while the other looks like the number 0. I noticed this variation a while back in my collection.
Misfit 45 Posted November 9, 2021 #8 Posted November 9, 2021 There are five variations of the Gen 4 Pat. Pending M9s. Here's the rundown. Marv
GregV Posted November 9, 2021 Author #9 Posted November 9, 2021 Great info👍 I had no idea. Thanks for the info and the picture.
Vanski Posted May 28, 2022 #11 Posted May 28, 2022 The USMC is definitely a keeper. I lucked into mine. Vanski
