Years of watching finally paid off Finn M38 bayonet

[Aragorn243]

I'm a patient guy and I honestly don't know how many years I've been watching eBay for an SA marked Carcano bayonet to be sold for a price I was willing to pay. At least six, I think. In those six years my willingness to pay has gone up somewhat but still not to the $400 some guys were asking. Got it for $205. Still pricy but about the going rate for a non-SA marked one.

Don't have it yet.

Bravo. The fixed or the folding one?

[Aragorn243]

Folding of course. I don't think the Finns ever got the fixed version.

This is actually my fourth one of these. Two are nice and the third has some homemade grips on it I need to replace someday.

I have three rifles also. One 7.35 Finnish, one 6.5 Italian and one 7.35 Italian in the original early stock. That one I still need some parts to make correct. Front band and the handguard.

I just needed that blasted SA stamp.

Great find! I am watching for one unicorn (Finn M28) and one pegasus (Norwegian Krag) myself but maybe one day it will work out.
