Can anyone ID this Swiss bayonet?

Sweet looking bayonet, hope it's available on the surplus market.

Hm... something's wrong with the picture. It says I don't have permission to access the page.

Sweet looking gun. I looked at these before and do not think they are available to civilians in the US. It is a shame cause we should be able to carry these on planes.

OK, I looked for this and found no solid info on it. It appears that they sometimes go for sale on Ebay and at gunshows. Prices I have seen referenced are between the $60 and $200 range though I cannot find any for sale. (Except MAYBE by this guy: http://www.swissrifles.com/~swissdagger/page 2.html ) One source listed them as rare and there seems to be no real name for them and they are referred to as Stg90 Bayonet and SG 550 bayonet.

There are two makers: Victorinox and Wenger.

Here are some more pictures:

Good luck. Let us know if you find a source.

Ive seen these before, They replaced the sig57 bayonets, which you can find in mint as cheap as $22, of course the 57 was only made by wenger. The older 57 is much better quality than the 550's. The 550's if I can remember correctly, are only sharpened on one side!!! and truly never designed to be used for much other than its purpose. with a 57 you can put a decent edge on it, but with these, bad profile!!! unless you dont care if it can be used decently as a cutting instrument!!!

Now that I got got a good look at it, I think Tactical Knives once did an article on a custom maker who retrofit's these with custom blades. I think there was a reference to a bird(Peacock) in the maker's company name.
