Name:	Turner Mfg. M4 Plastic Handle Parkerized Bayonet
Value:	$65 - 85*   *Value Help*
Total Length:	11 1/4"
Production Period:	??
Stamping:	U.S.M4 TMN
Info:	The blade has the 90-degree back cut to it.  It has the post 1953 production style guard which is  secured by a bent  metal bar passing through the tang.   Two long slots in  the tang (presumably to reduce  weight).  The Department of Defense Acceptance  Stamp (commonly called the DAS) is found on the  handle side of the guard. The two plastic grips have a backward "5" on one and  what appears to be a backward "6" on the other.  They are held together by two 4/5 threaded screws. The latch plate has the dimple stamp on it.  The latch  plate uses solid pins to hold the  latch plates in place. The one I acquired came with an M10 scabbard that  was made of plastic and had a black nylon type netting.   The scabbard had the following Numbers on it:   "19204 ASSY 8448476 / MFG 74846".  If any one  knows what this stands for, Please E-mail me!
