Argentine Bayonet

[jamie5070]

They pop up on ebay with intact crests, on a regular basis. I have one of each of the brass and aluminum handled bayonets. Now if I could only match one up with my rifles serial no. I would be set.

Caution: On Argentine Bayonets pay close attention that the rivets have not been redone.

Back in the late 1960's and early 1970's our local gun-shop, (King's Gun Shop & Keys, Royal Oak, Michigan), had a large pile of 'Mint' Argentine blades wrapped in paper with the Crest and all markings intact. They sold for $1.00 each and being beautiful steel, some got made into knives.

The blades had no grips or guards and obviously had never been used. The grip area was shaped and complete. IIRC - The grip area was pre-drilled for rivets.

These blades had to be spares and may have shown up in other areas of North America.

BTW - King's Gun Shop is long gone.

These new spare blades are not numbered.
