Sten Bayonet

**husk** · 08-19-2013 09:47 PM

I can't post the link at the moment, but there's an authentic ( and not mine) Sten bayonet currently listed on EBay. In 30 years of collecting British icon

rifles and bayonets I've only seen one genuine example. Interesting to see how much it brings.

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

I'm always leary of them. I know one man here that has had original stamps for years and got two from IMA. He marked them both and re-parked them, sold one with the story " It had come from a 35 year collection of an old man." It's out there now.

I got one from IMA I think about 15 years ago as a repro, but it looks so good it could be original. It even has a makers marks on it. I'll take pictures if anyone is interested.

If you need a bayonet on a sub machine gun, then you REALLY do needs a bayonet. Sign seen above an Armoury door

Yep!

A SMG is essentially an "extended-range" bayonet, anyway.

And those "skewer" bayonets are not very good at spreading the blackcurrant jam on the dog-biscuits or chopping the kindling, either.

Bayonet......... the last means of mechanical defiance. Mind you, in an assault they put the fear of god into you - or the fear of Allah if you are in an Iraqi trench!
