The description reads “very good” condition but the bayo I received was in excellent shape. It appeared almost unused. Thanks so much.

Very high quality product in great condition!

The Blade an Scabbard are in good condition and the bayonet fits perfectly on my Inland M-1 Carbine.

The Italian made M4 bayonet that I received is in excellent condition. I'd say it is well above the advertised "very good" condition. The only markings visible on the ricasso are a serial number on one side of the blade and AET factory markings, with date, on the other side. My bayonet is dated 1955. On the tang is a number (I don't know if it's a serial number; it does not match the number stamped on the ricasso on my example) and another, different factory stamping (a box enclosing a star, AET, 55) There is a numeral 2 stamped above this box. The brown plastic grips on my bayonet are in similarly great shape, with no scratches or dings. The underside of each grip has a part number (I assume,) a date (1964,) and within a triangle the letters AEP. My scabbard is in very good condition, as is the khakhi tan colored web belt hanger. This bayonet is another piece in my M1 Carbine collection. Shipping to my home was quick too. All in all, a great example of the M4 bayonet, in great condition, and at a decent price. Thanks Apex...much appreciated.

Bayonet received was in excellent condition along with the scabbard. Perfect accy for a FAT carbine, FAT guns need love too!
