UBB.threads Forums General Militaria United States Militaria Thoughts on M4 Camillus knife/bayo

Hey guy's, I am not really familiar with these, but it just came to me.

Would love to know more about this type and is it a good piece? Not sure if there are repo's out there or not?

thanks

James

hi jim
hope this e mail finds you doing well your m/4 carbine bayonet and m/6 scabbard appears to me to be a copy bayonet also usually the m/4 bayonets come in a m/8 scabard yes they make all u.s.bayonets fighting knives and even the long springfield bayonets but those to me are easy to spot crappy job . have to be carefull the copys are getting better maybe mr. jerry will chime in on your m/4 and hopefully im wrong about it being a copy best andy militarynut

Thanks Andy, I felt it was more modern then others I have seen when I got it. Paid little to nothing for it, so either way I will be good. Nicely made knife.

James

Yep,
Sorry that one is a copy. I believe actually even made by Camillus, but more modern. The WWII ones have a flaming bomb ordnance acceptance mark on the pommels among some other minor characteristics. But as you said, a nicely made knife!

A real one in that condition would be $250+ )( excluding a real M6 scabbard which would also be in that range by itself)

Thanks Andy and Jerry!

James

Copy or not, that is still a great knife.

Good catch

hi members
thanks to mr. jerry who is much more sharper then me on american he picked it out and no flaming bomb on it . this is what i know the camillus firm went out of bussiness in upstate new york probly i think five years ago they had a big auction on left over stock knives military and outhers a friend of mine went to the auction which i believe was a few days he said they were selling military fighting knives by the fifty five brl drums im just wondering was their dies sold at the auction i hope not because like dave mentioned here these knives are very well made and will fool outher collectors keep your eyes on the bomb logo thanks again mr. jerry best andy militarynut
