Delivered yesterday and I am a bit perplexed. The bayonet itself is in better condition than I expected and so is the M8A scabbard. One little problem, the keeper strap will not snap around the handle. I soaked it in soapy water over night and scrubbed the canvas with a toothbrush. Using a set of pliers I still could not close the snap... I know the M8A was used for more than one bayonet but were all the M-8A's same???
