GregV Posted November 8, 2021 Share #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 Share #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.

Papas-Toybox Posted November 8, 2021 Share #4 Posted November 8, 2021 USMC and Buck Chevron are solid keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregV Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papas-Toybox Posted November 8, 2021 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanski Posted May 28, 2022 Share #10 Posted May 28, 2022 The flat top "M" is a bit scarcer IMHO. Vanski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanski Posted May 28, 2022 Share #11 Posted May 28, 2022 The USMC is definitely a keeper. I lucked into mine. Vanski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
