As Paul Harvey once said "Now for the rest of the story!"
I could really care less about a rusty, battered Argentinebayonet. As far as I was concerned, it would make a good tent peg. BUT, it was the scabbard that caught my eye. I have looked for one of these scabbards for years and finding one in the wild is a stroke of good luck for me.
A M1917 early scabbard, a bit battered but still good.
BEAR (see....I'm not completely crazy)
