The top is M1 Carbine bayonet, second down is M1 rifle bayonet, three bayonets together are 1888 pattern bayonet changed into a fighting knife and two Swedish M96 bayonets. Mags are five rd .303 mags like you think...now, did you say web belts?

Awesome that your wife bought them for you but I don't think she got much of a deal. Close to a break even although New Yorkers might pay a pretty penny for those 5 round magazines. You might get $50 each for them based on what 10 round magazines are going for. Swedish bayonets are about $40 each, same for the Garand in that condition without a scabbard. M4 a bit more. Altered 1888, anyone's guess but a hard sell.

The MAGAZINES, the left one is for .303, the right one is for 7.62, but you got everything else right !.................

[browningautorifle]

the right one is for 7.62

How do you figure that? I have square bottom 303 mags too.

[Aragorn243]

I have seen square bottom 10 round 303 magazines. After market production. Makes sense they'd make them like that in 5 round also.

The bottom rig is a Bianchi and the whole set is newer... The other is the old style pistol belt. The dinner kit is something one of the members here has a collection of and he'll pick it apart for you if he sees it. It would be worth opening up and getting details of...
