    What would you do with this M1917 bayoned

    I have a M1917 bayonet and sheath in very good condition. The problem is that the bayonet is chrome. I understand that these were not manufactured in chrome, but that it is probably some ceremonial or drill bayonet. I am not a collector but have had this for about 35 or so years. I don't know whether to keep it, trade it or sell it. It has no real sentimental value to me. I have a .30 caliber M1icon with no bayonet and would consider a trade for one. All of the markings seem to be correct. Any opinions would be valuable.

    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.

    The bayonet being chromed might bring $45 to $75. Unless someone is looking for a chrome plated bayonet.

    I collect chrome Bayonets and have about 35 or 40 in my collection.
    They were chromed in service and probably were at every important event. I recently acquired a completely chromed No4 Mk1 Enfield. Interesting item now I want a chromed SKS, and an 03 Springfield.
