Another "What's it worth" thread

I've been trying to clean out some stuff that I don't need in order to partially fund my next project. I found this bayonet, and don't know anything about it. I did some looking online, and I think it's for an M1. Can anybody confirm this?

Most of the ones I've seen for sale online have been going for between $40 and $60. Is that about right for this setup?

bwells, 40 to 60 is indeed what i have seen them going for in the shops that I have bothered to take notice in.

Well, I can't be absolutely sure, but I do not believe that is for a Garand. I bought one just like that for my dad, thinking that the M4 was correct, but it didn't even come close to fitting. The cost was $40. I think the Garand takes a M5. I will try to dig up a pic.

Here is a Garand Bayonet:

I found a great picture of an M4 bayonet, attached to an M1 Carbine. The site is copyright protected, but here is a link:
