    My Meager Collection

    I don't consider myself a collector of military edged weapons but over the years I've picked up a few here and there if I thought the price was right.

    I recently bought a Case M3 and in my search to find out what exactly it was (thanks again SKIPH) I got to thinking about all the military knifes and bayonets I've accumulated over the years and decided to share with you all. It's not much but I don't "collect" these either.

    Thanks for looking.

    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.

    Considering you don't collect that is a good collection.

    Regards

    JimF4m1s,

    The date is 1981.

    The knife belonged to an Air Force pilot friend and former military school student of my father. He served from 1977-1997 and flew the A10 Thunderbolt. He was actually involved with the A10 from almost it's first days with the USAF. I believe the A10 was first deployed in 1976. (I think, don't quote me on that) I do know he was part of the A10 's first combat ready fighter wing in 1978 because he had kept in touch with my father and I remember my dad talking about the new "flying gun" the US had when I was younger.

    I'm not sure exactly when he first started actually flying the A10 but I know he flew it in the first gulf war when the A10 saw combat for the first time. Anyway, he gave the knife to my dad when he left the Air Force as a gesture for all the help he'd given him in his early years. My dad just passed it on to me.

    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    Nice collections. However don't forget all the invisible leg work to find them all.
