Hello, Im Mike and new to the group. I have a question regarding what I believe is a Colt model 1855 Artillery Model Saber Bayonet that belongs to a friend of...
Hi Peter I have seen a similar, shortened (and bushed) Belgian epee 15 years ago. Conversion was done very professionaly and I regret to this very day, that I...
Hi All, Posted a new pic of the odd Chassepot marking I mentioned in an earlier post in the hopes that it might look familiar to someone. It is in my folder...
Did you sell this bayonet yet? Steve ... From: cartman3532000 To: bayonetcollecting@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 11, 2004 7:16 AM Subject: [Bayonet...
Harry, I can see that you are more than 'dipping your toes' in German blades, welcome to the GBAC (German Blade Addiction Community). Before its too late let...
Anyone has the following(s)for sale ??? - unmarked WWII 98K scabbard - WWI 98K scabbard - leather scabbard with metal tip & throat that fits 98K - side screw...
Yes Peter, How astute of you to notice. I am planning on getting this bayonet to celebrate your birthday. And I hope that you will pick yourself up something...
Hi Keith, No, I'm a glutton for punishment and will have to deal with the double addiction I suppose. :o) (triple I guess counting the Belgians.) As you've...
Peter, I would appreciate that, a first class Chassepot. All of mine are bent all to hell....must have been used as crowbars. Maybe some day I'll be able to...
Keith, I didn't know there was a " GBAC " - no one told me !!! - and I started collecting Imperial German bayonets when " Old Smiffy " was still in short ...
Hi Keith, Pardon my interuption on your topic but there already has been a GBAC group long before yours in which I know for a fact Harry is a proud member of:...
Yes, you can get it Harry. There are still a couple of days to go, if its out of your price range what you need to do is to list your French & Belgian at...
Keith Wouldn't it be better to say it was a vet bringback from Hitlers bunker, all items are RARE (even the duplicates) and used in the US Civil war???? Carl ...
Hi Bo, No, not any response to the mark yet. Its certainly got me puzzled. Only one I have ever seen also. I would have to agree with you that it would most...
Keith, Ahh.... I see what you are up to. Very tricky. You are after my beautiful Belgian M1880 sawback! Or is it the M1865 Customs bayonet? Nice try. :o) ...
Carl, Speaking of which, its easy to see why Hitler died in that bunker. With the vast number of bayonets which were in there, it was only a matter of time...
Harry, you are really smart in noting my intention. Hmm...the M1880. The 'lucky blade' that stuck Hitler won't show up at eBay, its in my collection. If you...
Carl, Re: your Australian pattern '07 MK1 with 1944 parachutist composite machette grips. I have made contact with Mr John Wray, secretary of the Lithgow...
Hi guys, Here's one for Willy or Old Smitthy. Maybe Willy may have to chase up John Wray on this one too (or perhaps I should - he's only 130Km away) - but...
Rob, As you appear to be from Australia I wonder if you could give me your opinions on a bayonet I've had for a number of years. Its an old well worn German...
Scott, The statement " God Bless All Chassypots " is just SAD !!! Have you ever sought " professional help " ??? You've been talking to Mr.Shaman again -...
Keith, That's an easy one. Its the 12th bayonet down in the far right column. The one with all the "blood pitting" on the underside of the crossguard and the...
Rob If your latter idea comes true, Australians will be very unpopular with bayonet collectors ;-) I will take the grips off and have a look for markings. I...
