Picked this up a couple weeks ago.
Pretty rare one, I think it was contract for 2500 pieces IIRC.
Just need to find a correct scabbard for it.

Considering my son is about to graduate from Parris Island, it probably will have a new home soon!

Cool find! Looks to be in pretty decent shape, too. I’ll bet your son would be proud to receive that as a graduation present!

Yes that's a nice find. I wish I had a suggestion of where to find a proper scabbard. Good luck! It's gonna make a great gift.

Texas Knifemaker's Supply

The sheaths will work for any blade that is up to 8" long and up to 1 3/4" wide. For comparison, a Marine Corp fighting knife is 7" X 1 1/8". I picked one of the sheaths up for a buddy of mine and it worked just fine for his Kabar.

A quick google session revealed THIS sheath for an Ontario M-9. I know I’ve seen used sheaths elsewhere, but I can’t recall where.

Great bayonet, btw!

Thanks for the link, that’s very close to the original
Think I’m gonna watch eBay and try to snag the correct original

Cool. Would love to have one. I was issued a Buck while in the 7th Infantry at Ft. Ord.

That would be a great gift
