Union Fork And Hoe "UFH" WW2 BAYONET M3

[knifetime]

I hope maybe Dimitri or one of you guys can help me out.
Is a Union Fork And Hoe "UFH" 16 in Bayonet very common?I understand most got cut down .What would one in good condition with no sheath sell for?It is my brothers and I don't have any pics of it.I will try to git one next time I am over to see him.It has good patina but no rust and the blade is full,all the parts to the latch and handle are in great shape.Thanks for any help.

A lot of them got cut down, so one that is uncut is harder to find

Thanks for the information.I really like the part about where it was made,right hear in Ohio.I had no idea that "Union Tool"made that bayonet.Union Tool is what the company is now called,I worked for them years ago.Then they made shovels and such.Very cool bit of information Dimitri,thanks.I'll let my brother know.

Alright, a hot topic. The M1905 Springfield Garand bayo. Most shortened but I love to put it between slices of white bread and bite it in half. Excuse me.. burp. Yes, your UFH at 16" would command $125 at a trade show. I only $40 for any length or I let it slide on by. When I match with a scabbard and restore I try to sell for $65 but few want to take advantage because it is too good to be true apparently and let it slide on by. To have value someone must want it enough to buy it. Some prefer different era or theater for many different reasons. Personally myself, I like "trench" style length because it is easily carried and lighter. Here is one in this photo ( O.L.) Onieda, Ltd. that I gave a "heepin'-helpin" hand :
