Bayonet buying binge ,2 1907 ,2 Ross,a 1888 an Indian SMLE and a Turk mauser bayo

[unsub]

I went a bit nuts on the CGN exchange but I got some great stuff and some great deals. I am especially happy with the 1888 Lee bayo. It is marked 3-99
so is 108 years old and is in fantastic condition considering it's age.
It is a very well balanced weapon and would be one of my first choices if I needed to defend myself and I am spoiled for choice.

The 2 Ross bayonets are pretty beat up but I am still pretty happy with them.
The Mark 1, 09 was very rusty ,missing a handle scale and had a broken ring but the point was intact and it cleaned up really well. It will be a nice candidate for restoration. The other Ross is in better shape but still rough. It has the typical
altered point.

I don't get the Ross bayonet at all as a bayonet? It seems much more like a butcher knife of the period than a stabbing weapon.
