May 27, 20242 yr #1 Hey Gang! Just found this M3 on ebay, #186451696887. What a gem! Scabbard has been rebuilt with leather hanger, and the handle is gone. The seller describes it as a "vintage bayonet" , and the handle as "designed for easy use". Starting price around $33, w/ a couple of hours to go. Checked out this sellers other items, does have edged weapons for sale. Great embellishment! SKIP

May 28, 20242 yr #10 He had this thing for sale, too. Early JPSK? Haven’t seen one like it before.. Apparently engraved with an eagle and the words combat knife.. but I’m not sure I trust his listing skills. These new AI descriptions have certainly been interesting. Ebay #186440382873
May 28, 20242 yr #11 there are a lot of people on eBay and the like who buy things they are confident they can sell for about a 100% mark up. Folks like that can't find much time to make themselves expert in the things they sell, nor are they likely to feel a need to.
