I really lucked into this superb Colt Armalite bayonet. There is not a single scratch on the handle, and just a tiny bit if wear on the blade. It even came with the correct unmarked scabbard. Looking at the fittings, it has apparently never been attached to a rifle.

Color me OD green with jealousy!
Would have loved to add that to my M7 collection. |

I'm not a blade guy, but I would have snatched that one up. Suuuuhweeeet!

Very nice example! In my experience, that scabbard has been even harder to find than the bayo!
Congrats! |

Where did you find it? I got a call from someone who knew that I was looking for one. I literally JUMPED OUT OF THE SHOWER to get on the phone with him and say that I would take it, when I heard him say it was $500. |

Not to hijack the thread, but I think I might have one of those scabbards...
No trace of markings on the throat, paint color seems to match. Thoughts?

Yours is made with the basic belt loop. Some good info on these bayos here. |

Not to answer for Mr. Indiana, but (borrowing his pic) here are some measurements off mine.
Mine is a 1-line blade so it'd be interesting to know if his handle measurements are the same. 
To clarify, the round-profile grooves are 3/32" wide. The outermost grooves are 2.5" apart (center to center), with a groove every half-inch. |

OlGunner, Thanks for the measurements. I don't want to hi jack the thread so lets just say that will help greatly with a project I have in mind for this winter.
