This is just a little venting. A guy advertised in the classified section that he wanted to buy something that I had. OK, I sent him a message and I explained what I wanted (price wise) and that I...

Price is dictated by condition and originality. An M1905 dated 1918 should have either a blued finish over an unpolished blade or a parkerized finish. The bayonet did not originally have an M3...

Can anyone tell me the approximate date(s) of manufacture for a leather M1907 sling marked:

You may be correct; however, I visit 25 different forums and this is the only one that doesn't display pictures and only in the Quartermasters Stores section.

I can see the pictures just fine in...

I curious, is anyone else having a problem see pictures posted on this site? I get nothing but grey squares where pictures are supposed to be, when I go to the Quartermaster's Stores Classifieds.

This barrrel is isted on GB as an early 12-12 dated SA barrel.

I have a couple concerns about this item.

First: The rebated area where the front sight sits is something I would expect to see on...

I recently acquired an action cover made of ruberized or backed, OD canvas. It has 3 snaps and a thong at the end. Inside it is stamped "S-1942".

I had originally thought, when I purchased this...

Thanks....I had suspected something like that but am a bit puzzled by the fact that I do not see that on any of the other M1905 bayonets I have in my collection. Was this a WWI feature or can it be...

I'm speaking of the 1:2 and sawtooth marking on the lower right of the blade just in front of the guard. This is a M1905 blued bayonet dated 1918.

Thanks!

I posted this on another forum but haven't gotten any hits. Can someone tell me what the markings in this picture indicate?

I have a couple scabbards, one 1904 Hospital Bolo and another and early
M-1905 leather scabbard, where the belt hanger rotates very freely. The pivot point is a bit wobbly and loose. Obviously...

Sorry guys!

I'll get it sooner or later!

Let's try this post. maybe these are a little better?

Thanks. A picture is worth a thousand words. Love those pictures.

That's a pretty nice rig. I have an SA with a 1905 scabbard that I ma prety proud of too.

I posted this on the CSP forum but thought I would also post it here for more visibility.

Thanks but I have that book and have read that section. It does not specifically state anything about the RIA facility or production procedures at that facility.
