American M8 bayonet in an M-10 scabbard. Post Vietnam

The one on the right in the top pic is most likely Turkish for a Turkish Mauser rifle. Look for the letters AS FA on the pommel to confirm. Second from the bottom, the shorty, is for an Enfield rifle.

Isn't it an M7 bayonet? If US made, it should have the manufacturer and model stamped on the guard.

I am not expert but it sure looks like and M7 to me. I picked up two of them when the hit the surplus market a couple of years ago, and both of mine are marked on the blade side of the guard; one is Ontario the other BOC Beyond that, I know little. Here is a good photo from Sarco:

ZZ is your guy, Jamie. Nice haul.

In the first picture, the second one down from the top is a French MAS 49/56 bayonet
