Anyone collect bayonets?

Tim, we've sold a couple of bayonets through the years in our antiques phases - none of them were in very good shape, though.

This is one I've got hanging in my shed with all the other heavy metal - blade's about 14", serrated on top - I'm guessing it was a bayonet, but it may have been hand made.

 

I have a Spanish Bolero (I think) bayonet. Would like to get one for my ARs, just to make the anti gun folks more uncomfortable. :-D I think mine likes Port. :-D

 

Hmm, a Spanish rifle perhaps? :-D

Actually, it is a Bolo bayonet. A bit of quick research indicates it went on a 1941 Mauser.

Wow, have been tempted to buy an older Mauser... Now I might just have to. I need a gun to fit on my bayonet. :cool

This one cracks me up, I might get one as a joke one day. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...a=X&ei=t0ydTLazM4WBlAfhkr3ACg&ved=0CBoQ9QEwAA

If it gets down to where you need a knife on your Glock, you should have planned better, perhaps including a sword in your arsenal.

 

I don't know, if you gave a vicious yell, and had the Glock bayonet, they might die of laughter. :-D

 

Looks nice Tim, any way you can get a bigger picture?

 

Idle hands are the devil's tools. :-D Can't you make it a thumbnail that can be clicked on to see larger? What if I posted a tiny picture of a bunch of cakes, and you could not see the details... :eek

 

I use Picasa, save them to a folder on my desktop, and link to them. That is how I did my photo in this thread.

 

Ahh! Those need cleaning or at least some oil! Nice collection, but gun oil is cheap.

Yep, more work for you.

 

I've got a few.I only have 1 pic,have to dig the others out.
I also collect knives-mostly switchblades and butterfly knives.

I got this from my grandfather.

 

Nice to see your collection. .... I just happen to have the exact same bayonette that is the 3rd one up from the bottom in the first pic on the left of your 2 pics there. It's quite a piece. I am pretty sure it is from WWI. Mine has some French script writing, etched along the flat edge of the blade, closer to the handle. .... From what I can make out, it say's; "Mgre di temes de Lt Etiemen Mars 1879" .... I also have the original metal scabbard.

I used to have a WWII German Luftwaffe sword that was quite a prize, ...but I gave it to my military buff nephew as a gift. Wish I had some pics of that one, but unfortunately I never photographed it. Along with other WWII items, it was brought home after the war by my father at the end of his service.

Here's another real prize that my father passed on to me. He took possession it from a German officers office in Berchtesgaden, Germany. It's a mint condition original "German Cross in Gold" medal in it's original case. It is very prized by Third Reich collectors;

EDIT:
Oh well, ... I thought I could post the pics here, but I seem to be having trouble.

 

Here's another attempt to post those pics of the German Cross in Gold that I mentioned in the post below this.

 

You guy's might enjoy this one. ... This is a pic of an antique key collection that I had inherited and sold on the bay last year;

 

Got me a 'new' mil surplus bayonet from FedUp today. Could not resist putting it on the rifle and poking a couple of holes in the shipping box. :-D

 

You know, it just occured to me that Major Geeks is probably the only place on the internet where discussions ranging from cloud computing to edged weapons can take place on the same forum and not seem odd . . .

I love this forum! :major

 

I actually have a couple that I got from my neighbor for helping cleaning out and organizing his gun room. They are from WW or WW2 idk

 

Did not happen without pictures. :-D Wait, did you say 'gun room'? I am already liking your neighbor.

 

Yeah he collects older guns. Also he is a retired law enforcement so he also has a couple modern M4s, Sniper, and a M16. If 2012 really happens I am going there :-D
But yeah I don't really collect just have a couple haha.

 

forgot the pic....(didn't Feel Like taking everything off haha)

 

Where are you going if 2012 does not happen? I guess you mean collapse of civilization. :-D Be careful, he might just let you in for food. :-D

 

Ha well I don't believe it is gonna happen just thought that sounded like a good plan lol. And thanks for the tip. I'll pack extra food!

 

LoL!! :-D You have to understand, I have a very odd and sometimes dark sense of humor.

 

I've seen a lot of those old replicas. I wanted to buy a Soviet one and a Nazi one. I mean, when I saw them, I was naive enough to think that they were really from that age. But they were good for replicas.

 

Well, about time for the MajorGeeks yearly bayonet collectors thread to be revived. A little early, but I like this one. Goes on a Yugo Mauser.

 

wow i tho;ught it had been more then a year ha

 

A have a few - mostly in storage. One that comes to mind is the the British 1907 India pattern, like this one.:major

Presumably for the British Lee-Enfeild .303 RIFLE.

 

Nice looking bayonet Phantom. Not you just need a Lee Enfield to put it on.

Goozit, with some glue and duct tape, we can rig up your K-Bar to be a bayonet.

:-D

 

Not a bayonet, but one of my old Para-knives, complete with the fire stains when I used to cook on the side of the blade.:-D

How about a long spiked one from Russia? :-D

 

I used to collect Bayonets, but I couldn't keep up with the doctors bills...

Actually, I'd like to, but the things they attach to are so much more fun.

 

I like the attachments as well. :-D
