Thanks for your reply. This did come along with a period USMC sweetheart piece, so maybe you are correct. Let's see if I get the same reply from others. Kent

Excellent example. Marv

I forgot to mention the size if that helps? 7/8" X 1" Thanks, Kent

I am no expert on EGA's but I think this is a sweetheart piece. See what others say... Good luck collecting! 

I'd have asked how many do you have? LOL nice score ! 

I bought a hard rubber KA-BAR bowie training knife from "COLD STEEL" on the internet. It is to scale but will not fit into an original  sheath because the tip of the blade is 5/16" wide. 

Excellent find there, yokota57! You may want to post on the Advisory Teams site to see if anyone worked with Major Waring:   https://macvteams.org/team-90/

That's a fine example.  Nice pick up and at a price substantially under current market prices, in my view.   The guy who said he bought one at a gun show for $35 must be thinking of a 1995 experience.   These days you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than you do of finding an example like your new bayonet for $35 at a gun show.   Charlie
