Description
Back when I was stationed in the Bay area in 1977, I happened upon a gun shop and found this WWI Bayonet for a mere $5 - talk about a score!
the really cool part of this is that it has the scabbard with it
tomorrow I'll post a close up of the proof marks
Thanks for all your wonderful comments and faves

Great capture of this awesome old bayonet Mike!!!

You did score on this Mike! There was a time in the late 1800s and early 1900s when a long bayonet was considered the way to go...but then (excuse the grusome detail) it takes a lot of effort and time to remove a long bayonet from the victim during which some other guy might do you in. Hence bayonets became shorter and shorter and now they are not issued at all.

Wow what a score indeed. Fantastic presentation of your precious antique. Looks like you have kept this in perfect shape for the 25 yrs. or so. Thanks for sharing.

An amazing looking sword - heavy duty! Jeff has got a collection of Japanese swords - more like light duty, compared to this one, BB (apologies for commenting a bit late, life has been a bit tumultuous as of late!)

That is a great deal, I know people who've spent a good deal more than 10 times that for a bayonet of this vintage. Lovely shot, too, Nice capture of the reflections on the metal.

now all you need is the Enfield Mk 1 to go along with it...
