    Two New Bayonet Books

    I recently purchased two newly produced bayonet books written by Janusz Jaroslawski. The first is titled Bayonets: Swedishicon-Danish-Nowegian-Finnish. The second is titled Bayonets of the Polish Army 1918-1939. Both are large format books with high quality glossy pages. The first is 120 pages long, the second 136 pages long. These are filled with color photos of the bayonets which include detailing of the markings. There are a few editorial errors but nothing major. Very reasonably priced at around $25 each. Written in English. I got mine off of Ebay but it appears they are not currently available. I did just notice that both of my copies were autographed by the author so I suspect, he was the ebay seller. The Scandinavian bayonet book is available at the second link. They have sample pages so you can see what they are like.

    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.

    I know Watts & White's Bayonet Book has been out of print for ever, but how about Bayonets from Janzen's Notebook? Is that still in print?

    It's out of print but you can still get it. Used copies out there between $89-$100 and up for better examples.
