    Interesting Krag Story

    Just a little tale I thought I would share to those Kragicon collectors out there. About 30 years ago when I was about 12, I was given this bayonet with a metal scabbard. Both were/are in great shape. The bayo said "US" on one side of the blade right by the handle, and "1895" on the other side. I kept it all these years. In February 2007, I started to collect milsurps. About a month ago, I pulled the bayo out of this box that it had been in for the last 25years. I decided that I had enough knowledge now to be able to identify what gun it was made for. After a little research, I found out it is a US 30-40 KRAG bayonet ! The scabbard is intact, even with the belt hanging wires with the swivel set up. I had wondered many times over the years, what gun the bayo was made for. I just thought it was pretty cool I was able to identify this bayo after all these years.

    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.
