Chock full of history, production changes, number produced and other variations. Don't spend hundreds of dollars on that exotic and rare bayonet before you research it in this book! Probably not for the casual reader though. I especially enjoyed the history portion, and how these knives came to be.
Good deal good dealer.
Execellent history of not only the M9 bayonets but other interesting military memorabilia.
