I USED to have several myself but--somehow they disappeared from my sisters house.

I had a mint Japanese Ariska Bayonet--15 inch blade. Matching Scabbard.

I had a mint mint German 98K Bayonet with matching numbered scabbard--blade has 100% of it's bluing intact.

I had a Garand Bayonet cut down for usage in the Korean War. No scabbard.

Two Russian AK-47 Bayos--one with orange handle and one with black.

Mint SKS Carbine screwdriver (Spike) bayonet

And another ww2 but unidentified bayoney with 12 inch blade--rough condition--I had found it under a house about 25 years ago.

Great site Kai, I have a small (family) collection including:
No.4 spike bayonet
1907 sword bayonet
3 K98 bayonets all in very good nick with frogs
1 slovak bayonet (unidentified)
1 Swiss Mauser Bayonet

I also have several knives including 3 original british Jack Knives (one was my grandpas), 1 Hitler Youth Knife and an original Sykes & Fairburn fighting knife. I am after a few more items, I really want one of the broad bladed sawbacked German Mauser bayonets.

Oh yeah--I had forgotten that I also had a 1911 Swiss Mauser bayonet with leather frog and scabbard. That too--is gone.

Carl, the swiss bayonet is my fathers and has a fantastically overcomplicated leather frog. The blade itself is double edged, rather rare apparently. It is a beautiful blade, the only blemishes are two streaks where something inside the scabard to hold the blade in place touches the steel.

Nice blade. Mine on the otherhand--was well used but still in good condition. Also was still packed in cosmoline. Or Vaseline. [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img]

Very interesting site, Kai!

We tend not to focus on that very important weapon at the infantry battle field...
