    A milestone but possibly a temporary one

    With the arrival of a Dutch carbine artillery bayonet yesterday, I hit the milestone of having a bayonet for every rifle I own. All but one are correct and confirmed. The last is on a Chinese Hanyang and I simply cannot confirm or deny if it is correct. It is not a Hanyang but they used bayonets from a lot of sources and this one is unmarked.

    On the plus side, I already have the bayonets for the few rifles I'm actively seeking.

    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.

    I hadn't bought a bayonet in a long while but picked up four in the past week, 1881 Swissicon saw back, Dutch Beaumont socket, 1873 Springfield and the Dutch Mannlicher carbine. Add to those the Italianicon TS I got a month or so ago and I'm in pretty decent shape for future rifles. Still would like to get a Martini Henry and a Germanicon 1871 bayonets but haven't actively sought either as chances of getting either rifle are slim.
