M6 Milpar bayonet - NOS

An extremely rare transitional piece from the early Vietnam War! Up for sale is a genuine "U.S. ARMY" branch tape in the tactical subdued (black) format. What makes this piece highly sought after is the backing material: the text is embroidered directly onto a strip of iconic HBT (Herringbone Twill) fabric. This combination of the dark embroidery (introduced in 1966) and the older, durable HBT canvas from the Korean War era makes it a classic transitional artifact. The tape is in perfect, unissued New Old Stock (NOS) condition.
