Rare bayonet

[1563621 388]

Picked up this 16" WT bayonet. They have been selling for up to 2500. I didn't pay that.

Congrats. I couldn't believe the prices they were going for. 10 years ago they were $700. 350% increase in price is a lot, but the demand must be there. How many are estimated to be out there?

16" for 880. Just the grips are worth 500 or so. There is a set of gripes on sleezbay now for sale 600. two tone grips are fragile.

They made millions of Bayos. But only 60K or less of WTs. Most were cutdown to 10". Last week one sold on ebay for 1475 with a broken grip.

Is there any estimates to how many of the 60,000 survive today?

I don't think that can be pinned down.  Seeing the prices keep going up. Even the cutdowns are going for 500, without the 2 tone grips.
