Mr. Hosmer,
Good to hear from you.  I have discussed other items on other sites and appreciate your help.
I found the bayonet on e-bay.  They had a but it now of something like $202.00.  I thought that too much, only due to the poor condition of both bayonet and scabbard, and that it is the later incorrect scabbard.
There was a place for me to make an offer and I did of $128.00, but have not heard back.
I would much rather pay somewhat more but get a better condition example.  It does not need be pristine, but better would be, well better.
Do you think I should offer more if I still can?  The scabbard is probably worthless it is so dented.
Thanks so much.
