For clarification: 1) the last bayonet you showed is not a knock-off. The barrel loop on the bayonet is smaller because it is an M4 bayonet for an M1 Carbine, not an M7. If you look closely on the crossguard, you will see the M4 marking, along with the name of the manufacturer "AKI" indicating that this was Korean Made. But these plastic handle M4 bayonets were also made by several US contractors for the US military after WWII, including Conetta and Imperial. The pommel on an M4 is also oval, compared to the rectangular pommel on an M7. 2) no Imperial M7 bayonets saw service in Vietnam. The armistice was signed in January 1973; Imperial's first contract did not enter production until the end of 1973. The company had multiple contracts for the M7 between 1973 and 1983; 3) "PWH" on the scabbard does not stand for "Pennsylvania Wheel & Hoe"; it stands for the "Pennsylvania Working Home for the Blind"; 4) It is "Conetta", not "Cornetta". There is no "r" in the name. Conetta made plastic handle M4's, M7's and Mark 2 (Kabar-style) knives for the military.

Last one a m4 bayonet and depending on where they made you can tell the years like on my milpar and also my sheath had a number on it so I knew for sure it was issued during the war.

I got two for a nice price, both worn by who knows what and one in rough condition and with one sheath. Glade I got them back in the day when they was going for ten bucks a blade.

The armorer at my old unit didn’t know what the symbol was, just that it was an Israeli issue mark, someone later told me it may have been a “shev” (spelling) or something else depending on the orientation (I.e. which end was up, as it wasn’t apparent). It sort of looks like a U humped a Y, and had a little tail hanging off. (Edit) It is an “imperial” also.
