Bayonet Bonanza

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

Slim pickings lately on firearms but had a bit of good fortune of late filling some holes in the bayonet collection. Attached a few photos. A few No 7s (BOC Conetta Imperia)l, late Swiss Pioneer & a nice Brazilian 1907/34.

Very nice. Unfortunately bayonet collecting has fallen by the wayside for me recently, and I do need to do a fair bit of catching up (I just find it hard to justify buying a bayonet for the same cost as a new rifle). I have always liked the look of those Swiss Pioneer bayonets, they are just so well made and intimidating.

I was expecting to see some No7 bayonets HoH - as in the UK No7 type! Are the bayonets in pic 1 also described as No7's?

Its interesting how the same name can confuse people. I remember talking to a older gentleman who was confused as to when the M38s became so popular. The thing was he was thinking of the M38 Carcanos not the M38 Mosin Nagants.

I seem to hit the bayonets in spurts. Can go for months without buying one and then get a whole bunch. Still stuck on just the one Brazilian this time around, ah, not true, I also purchased one of those brand new unissued Spanish bayonets on Ebay but it hasn't arrived yet. Might want to check them out. From Canada, he starts them at $49, I think I paide $51. Have their tags and everything. Make sure you check out the one he lists, some have scratches, but most are near mint.

Can't get one past you.
Forgot which side of the pond I was on. Should have been M-7. Here is my No-7.

The Swiss Pioneer is a work of art and I am having a hard time not trying the saw out.

[Aragorn243]

You have to try it out. What do you think will happen to it? Should cut through a 2x4 with no problems.

Here's a link to the Spanish bayonet I was talking about. I would pass on this particular one because the crests are messed up.

That's right, they've always been called M7 bayonets, not No7's. I AM on this side of the pond.

Does any-one have a No7 bayonet with black grips and are they especially rare? My No7 has red grips as do all that seem to come up for sale.
