  Production Period:  ??

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!
