Traded a guy at work a free lunch for this, it looked old so I thought I would post up and see what anyone might have to share on it.
 Hard to see but it has "US M8A1" with "T W B" below it on the sheath.  Bad picture but it says "Imperial" Not a bad trade for some Panda Express.

It would seem a stormtrooper somewhere is looking for his bayonet.

Is it an M7 bayonet? We were still using them in the USMC as of 1997.

Looks like a nice M7 bayonet with correct issue sheath. Not a bad trade at all.
Now you need to build up an M16A1 clone to hang it on.

I am in Iraq right now with the 101st Airborne. You might find it interesting that I personally carry an M7. My company doesn't issue bayonets, so being that I am the only one who carries one, the guys poke fun at me. But I carried this same one when I was over here in 03', and until they issue me something that won't take one I will carry it.

I was issued an M-9 bayonet for Iraq, but I left it in the foot locker. Not much use for it on an M-14 (second tour) or an M-203 (first tour). |

Yeah but when you only have 1 one round for the Mk VI .455 Webley and its a dud...you don't carry EVERY weapon you find !! |

My Reserve unit didn't issue them while we were overseas. We're aviation so I figured we didn't even have them. I asked our armorer about it one day and he looked at me funny. Then he said "D@#nit, I knew I forgot something." They were all sitting in the vault at the unit packed away neatly in three footlockers. And they were all brand new M9's. Oh Well!

Awesome. Even when we got the M9s I still carried an M7. It's a classic, my father carried one in Vietnam and my grandfather carried an M3 fighting knife which has the same blade. I like the look and feel and the history..... Even if I had nothing I could mount it to I think I would still carry it. |

Shoot, I never asked about the number on it. Is that somthing they put on in basic to mark ownership of the issued item or for some sort of training purpose?
