To another it's the second rarest version, $200.<br /><br />But the rather common Imperial made, Colt marked bayonets command a premium over rarer versions. Go figure.<br /><br />I don't have an FZR in my collection, and I'll offer $70 shipped. That might be generous, that might be low-ball.<br /><br />The value of ANYTHING is what someone is willing to actually pay NOW, and not what someone else paid yesterday. There's an auction on ebay that's been running for months on an FZR marked bayonet. They've come down from $300 to $258 and nobody's bidding. When someone bids, that's when we know what it's worth... until then... who knows.<br /><br />Economics and value have lots of situations similar to "what's the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?"Angus McThaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09295013525738248801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406088964942152547.post-69845212903821813492017-11-21T03:41:38.850-05:002017-11-21T03:41:38.850-05:00I have an FZR marked M7 any info on rarity or what...I have an FZR marked M7 any info on rarity or what it’s worth ?
