Trigger Mike Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I have been looking for a M9 bayonet with the pouch on the scabbard yet all I find are the ones with a naked scabbard and no pouches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 It's my understanding that the earlier model had the pouch sheath and it was removed on later models. The early ones are getting scarce. More info Here's a copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas lizard It is just what I was issued and took with me to the sand box. I have a M-7 like my dad had in Vietnam already and want to round everything out with an M9 like I carried. I don't really want a chinese version and want one with the pouch as we had a pouch on our scabbard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas lizard Collectors, and "combat vets" enjoy collecting and acquiring these and other items used by military forces throughout history. Myself, I collected USAAF and Luftwaffe items from WW2, including dress swords, daggers, and bayonets. MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lee Bishop Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I should like to point out that the genius who thought up the plan, Gen. Hertling, is not an Infantry officer. He is an Armor officer.I have never seen a bayonet on a tank. Gen Hertling was the first Brigade commander I ever served under, in the 90s when he was a O-6. He was indeed an Armor officer. I can’t speak for him now, but even then, that man could out-run and out-PT ANYONE I’ve ever seen, could outrun the youngest of his officers no matter where they came from or what branch they were. While I had great respect for the man as a leader, I too question some of his policy-related decisions later on. He has however led the charge to change the PT test into an obstacle course to be run in gear with weapons in some events. I think that’s a improvement over how many sit-ups and pushups someone can do. As for the bayonets, the early ones were made by various companies. They got rid of the pouch pretty early and mounted the sharpening stone recessed into the back of the scabbard. I still have mine from active duty, “creatively acquired” as I never had to sign for it (and all those who served knows what that means). Mine was made by Phobis, but was the pattern after they got rid of the pouch. I too have been looking for one of the early ones as I’m doing historical displays about Desert Storm this year but have had real problems finding an original one of that pattern. The later ones, I can find all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
