Stumbled across a nice bayonet, with a sheath. Pulled it out, low and behold it says USA on it!
M9
PHROBIS III
U.S.A.

Upon a quick phone search, I see there are different generations of these.
Are these worth anything?

I recommend you keep it and not sell it because the Phrobis III were made by Buck and are the best made of the M9's (over Ontario and Lan-Cay) and only gain in value. There are several generations of the M9 (looks like you most likely have a Gen 4) there are collectors of these blades but I have would hang on to it unless you want to get rid of it. I just noticed one go for about $300.00 on an auction site. Anyway here is some information for you.
