    I have a Japanese type 44 bayonet that I am looking for value/pricing on. Any help would be appreciated. Please see photos.

    I just acquired this bayonet along with the belt, scabbard and canvas cover. Everything seems to check out but this bayonet is very shiny and I wanted to reach out and try to get more information on it. It has the proof marks on both sides but just seems different than others I’ve seen. Any...

    Hey gang, Next from the haul is the Danish Suhler Tapriffel Model 1854 socket bayonet, which has a Kyhl (pronounced 'cool') locking spring. From what I've been learning, these were used with Prussian M1849 Dornbuchse rifles and given to Schleswig-Holstein forces who rebelled against the Danish...

    Hey gang, Next from the haul is this beautiful M1873 Springfield socket bayonet. This bayonet was fitted to the breech-loading M1873 Springfield rifle, whose breech opened like a trapdoor, hence the nickname. This bayonet is in very fine shape and retains the majority of its bluing. Whether...

    Does anyone have the original specifications that were set for the steel of the M1905 blade? Regards, JMB

    Hey gang, Here's the first of a large haul (17 bayonets in total) that I acquired at the start of September, 2023. This is a First Pattern 1837 Brunswick bayonet. These were used with the P1837 Brunswick rifle, which replaced the aging Baker rifle. This is the second-earliest British bayonet...

    I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for storing/displaying bayonets (other than on the rifles themselves) as I have some duplicates and others for rifles I don't have. I use pistol racks for storing my military holsters and thought someone might have a similar solution that could be...

    Hey gang, Here's another bayonet that I picked up back in July of this year, a Canadian Mk.I Ross bayonet, which was sold to the US Army in time for their entrance into the Great War in 1917. The Ross rifle and its bayonet saw extensive use by the Canadians in the Great War, with the Mk.II...

    So I'm trying to figure out markings on non-Russian Mosin bayonets, any model - not ones I already have, ones I don't yet have and need to look for. I specifically am interested in ownership markings of other countries, not manufacturer markings. Though let's leave out the Finnish knife...

    Need help identifying a bayonet found in attic of old farmhouse. It's 15 in long. A crown and the letters "RFURT" are on one side of the hilt which I'm guessing is for Erfurt Prussian Royal Arsenal. The other side of the hilt appears to have five markings and the letter "X" on the guard. The...

    Hey gang, Here's another bayonet I picked up recently, and the last of the haul I brought home in June. This is the M1866 Chassepot "Yataghan" sword bayonet, which was used with the bolt-action Chassepot rifle, the precursor to the newer bolt-action Gras rifle, and one which superseded older...

    Hey gang, Here are a couple more No.4 Mk.II spike socket bayonets I picked up recently. These two have Mk.I scabbards, and come complete with canvas frogs. Both are stamped "No.4 Mk.II over B". Upon closer inspection, it turns out the "B" is the superimposed "L" and "B" of Long Branch/Small...

    Hey gang, Here's another bayonet I picked up recently, the Pattern 1888 Lee-Metford bayonet. I had seen a couple of these online before but had never seen one in-store before. The seller had just got it a couple of days prior and hadn't even priced it yet, but he and I got to talking, and I...

    Hey gang, Here is a couple of No.4 Mk.II bayonets that I picked up recently. I had been avoiding them for so long because they are so numerous, which as I think about it now, was foolish of me. At least they were super cheap, and they're small so they don't take up much space at all. One of...

    Hey gang, Here is another bayonet that I picked up recently, the Swedish fm/1913 bayonet. Initially, I wasn't quite sure what this was, but someone was able to help me identify that it was a Swedish bayonet, specifically an m/1914. It wasn't until recently when I was looking the bayonet over...

    Hey gang, Just a short in-between post so I don't burn through all the bayonets I have so quickly. It also popped into my head last night that this might be a fun post to make (though I bet ones have been made before, oh well). Feel free to post images too, I'm sure folks would love to see what...
