    Default Can you help me with PAL and UFH bayonet questions?

    I have two bayonets, ones a cut down and ones not.

    Can anyone tell me things like, Model? rarity? Value? How many were made? What condition you think its in? Things I need to know to insure them if I need to.

    Thank you for helping, Jay

    1st pics will be the PAL.

    Not sure what the "SN" on the tang of the cut-down means, but the UF would indicate it's a legitimate cut-down, worth about what any M1 bayonet with scabbard would be, anywhere from $75 to $125 max depending upon condition.
    As for the 16-inch PAL that's 1942 dated, it could be worth between $225 and $325 depending on condition of the bayonet (original finish, etc) and the condition of the scabbard.

    The "UFH" mark on the edge of the tang is the UFH cut-down modification mark. It seems that UFH also renumbered the bayonets in that area when they modified them. Not sure why.
