That's a nice bayonet! I don't think I have seen one in that kind of shape. Last one I saw at a show looked kind of like those grimy bayonets that used to fall out of the box that the $39 Turk Mausers came in.

I'd like to have one but they cost as much as I paid for either one of my #5's.

Actually I should say both Mine and Bob's #5's.

Mine's not quite that pretty, but for $25 at an estate sale, I can't complain

Still has traces of OD green jungle paint on the hilt & pommel.

Looks mean, anyway...
