A buddy has asked me if I know the value of this bayonet. I'm pretty knowledgeable about commonwealth stuff, but as to this, I have no idea. If any of you good folks could give an idea of fair market value, I'll let him know if he should look into it further. Thanks all.
Here's one close to you. Bear in mind these guys are usually "High"... Siamese Mauser 1903 Type 45 bayonet
He seems to have several there.
Once again Jim, thank you. I looked at several sites to try to get a ballpark idea. Those guys are always at the high end, and in my opinion, a little too high end in their pricing. From what I've seen, I've told him if he can get it for $100. all in he'd be doing well. I have a late 1700's to early 1800's German dragoon sabre that may well be a privately commissioned sword and therefore a one-of-a-kind. Try to get a value for that!!!!Quote:
