    Unknown US M4 Carbine bayonet ......value???

    Bayonets are not my area of expertise and I need some help on this M4 Carbine bayonet. I took three of them in on trade on some M1 Carbine parts and need some help in identifying them and putting a value on them. I have one carbine bayonet, a CASE, and these appear to be identical to it. I have taken pictures of the only markings that I see.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    The cross guard is very different from U.S. Made M4 's the finish should be smoother and the Font is more defined. Overall it does look like a US M4 though. This may be a Danish version based on the Euro looking proof mark looking stamp. I have looked at many leather handled M4's and have never seen this one.

      Exact same ones that were sold through the CMP that were apparently purchased by the greeks for use with thier carbines. The last theory I heard was that they were Norwegian manufactured with the mark being a stylized K. You can go to the CMP forum and do a search on the carbine forum for the old info and it may be on Gary Cunninghams bayonet site as well.

        The bayonet pictured is a Norwegian manufactured M4, made at the Kongsburg Arsenal.
