Keep his memory alive.   Poignant group and amazing too.

Agree.  I bought this one as I have never seen a Parker Brothers M3 for sale before and I am a sucker for the unusual.  It fits with my original M3's.  Just not WW2 or Korea war period.    I wonder if Parker made an M4.  Does anyone know when the Chinese started to make M3 and M4 copies.  It was much later than the Japanese.  I don't remeber seeing one until into the 2000's.

The pictured scabbard is an original BM Co M8A1 scabbard.  I have read early 60's Japanese M4 bayonets didn't come with a scabbard.  Advertisements I have seen show them being sold as just a bayonet.  When the original M4 bayonets starting being released to the public scabbards started being included with the Japanese bayonets.

Very nice grouping and right up my alley, 3rd Div and KIA WW1 are what I collect. 

Do not wash them in the washing machine, they will definitely lose color, hand wash and hang dry.

That's a shame but thank you very much for the confirmation.

It is a modern restrike as you suspect.

Hi all,   These sterling Meyer Liason pilot wings belong to a friend of mine and he's asked my opinion on them.   If I remember correctly the pin opening up fully is a bad thing? This pin opens all the way.   Is the wing good or a postwar restrike?   Many thanks in advance.   Dave      

Me too, as I am his cousin and have been in most of the reenactments (I also helped him with the foxhole). As previously noted, I am his cousin, Timothy, and I have been collecting since I was also 10. My main focus is 1980s and early 2000s. I speak Chinese somewhat fluently and 2 or 3 words in Russian.    Timothy
