I bought my daughter a Yugoslavian M48 Mauser (pictures to come) as a gift for her being promoted to Stafff Sergent (E6) next month and have been looking for a bayonet to go along with it. I found one in a gunshop. My have paid too much for it but its a nice one and still loaded with cosmoline. Thought I share pictures of it and the kid.
Did you mean Drill Sargent? Very intense stare.
Congratulations on the promotion.
Nope Staff sergeant (SSG) however, she's been selected to become a Drill Sergeant and will more than likely be assigned to Fort Leonard Wood. I think that picture was taken when she was assigned to the Multinational force and observers in Egypt, when all that **** was going down there.Quote:

I really thought I paid too much, I could have sworn I paid less for one in similar condition last year. Thanks :)Quote:

I proud to say that she has done well, the Army has fast-tracked her because she's a go-getter always has been.Quote:

I'm not saying you can't get one for less but it's tough doing so. ebay currently has one that's at $40 when you factor in the shipping with about two days left. Serious bidders tend to wait till the item is ready to end before bidding. There are half a dozen or so other listed starting at $79 and up. I think I paid $40 for my last one about two years ago and that was because I was stubborn and waited six months before I found one at the older price.
Occasionally these bayonets turn up without a serial number on the crosspiece but I don't know if that makes them worth anymore.
Good thing I grabbed it, the only reason like I said is that I needed for my kids rifle and it was still in the cosmoline. ThanksQuote:
