    Another Type of Italian M4 Bayonet

    I found three of these on the internet last summer and posted a couple of them then. I found this new one, the second from the left with a wood handle at the Oaks Gun show this past weekend.

    I have not found any reference anywhere to these and found no examples on the net. Not sure what to make of it. It is 1955 dated while the other three are 1959 and 1960 dated so it is earlier. Also in unissued condition. The plastic handle ones are still available although the price has gone up.

    The one on the right is an BM59 bayonet.

    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.

    It has become rather expensive. Three shows, three guns and one bayonet. Then I had to find a holster for the first gun, brass for the third. Crap, I bought a parts rifle in those three shows also, and a large ammo can. Good thing the wife doesn't pay too close attention to math as that $450 I've been carrying around for the last month is still $450 and the first gun I bought was more expensive than that. She knows how much I spend, she just doesn't seem to notice my balance dosen't change.

    Finally found one of the wood handled ones for sale online. Forget which dealer has them but they were asking $100 apiece and the example didn't look anywhere near as nice as this one.
