    Those Amazing Ebay Deals

    Been a while since we had one of these but this one appealed to me:

    Amazing Wwii Pacific Theatre Converted Bayonet | eBay

    It is a one of a kind, genuine Pacific Theater made highly collectible must have bayonet.

    Looks to me like a Spanish bayonet that had all the bayonet features ground off and then chrome plated. At $250.00, seems like a real bargain and I'm surprised no one took him up on it.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I would say a M1912 Spanish maybe, South American? Not my cup of tea but interesting.

    The e-bay audience is better informed than I thought.

    Amazing! A Spanish Mauser Bayonet that made it's way to the Pacific Campaign! It's not complete though. Now it's been 'Pimped Up', it's missing the detachable drinks cabinet & removable ashtray from a 155mm Field Gun....

    So I take it that we're all agreed that "amazing" was indeed an appropriate adjective, in the sense of "gobsmacked"?

    And in which town is the "Pacific Theatre" that apparently had this item in its wardrobe & effects department?

    More amazing is the price tags that were on some bayonets at the recent Birmingham International, eye watering, the No7 has gone up 50% since last year and the 1888 and 1903,3 would say have gone up about 75%
