Gents,
Bayonets count as firearm accessories! Ha!
At any rate, yesterday I was able to acquire a gentleman’s collection of antique bayonets, knives, and swords. He and his wife are downsizing, and I really think he wanted his little collection to go to someone that would appreciate it! He also asked me to sell his three swords, and said whatever I get, we will split 50/50.
So here is what I think I purchased...if I am wrong, please let me know...all the information below was found from a few hours of researching online!
1. 1856 British Yataghan Bayonet...the rifles in the mid-1850s were pretty big, not like the carbines we use today! I couldn’t imagine putting this thing on a rifle that large!
2. WWI Imperial German S98 Bayonet made by V.C. Schilling...it appears to have the marking “B.1.U.R.2.54.”
3. WWI Swiss Model 1911 Pioneer Sawback...dual teeth staggered across the back...being stabbed with this thing would be devastating!
