Purcchased after teh SOS from my good friend, Paul Hogle, of lakesidetrader.com is this short single etched Holler marked bayonet.

It has the standard Holler ES102 pattern, which is pretty easy to find. It is the dedication to a Cavalry regiment 18 that made it a sure thing for me. You can find lots of unit designations if you look hard enough, but when have you seen a Cavalry dedication? I would presume that such dedication, along with such other rare dedications as ones to Bicycle or Motorcycle units, would be the rarest of all etches to find, maybe only outdone by dedications to individual people (one offs, I call them).
