    Johnny,
    You've got some really nice Mk1s and 2s. I actually got interested in them when I went to complete the PAL set. The PAL RH 34 was the first one that I picked up; got by trading two pocket knives and $10 cash. Here are some pictures. It came in the generic Mark 1 leather sheath with markings on the back of the sheath suggesting it was a WWII private purchase.

        I started out with one bayonet, a Camillus M4 that my father carried in Korea. Picked up an M1 Carbine to put the bayonet on, then picked up some web gear. Decided that I needed an M3 to complement my M4. Found a Mark 2 Camillus in a thrift shop; at one point had just a few knives:



        But more than a few bayonets:

            Thorin6, I've tried and tried to get on militaria forums and can get on but I can't do anything but read. I've tried to contact the admim. with no luck. I pull up the membership list and can't find my user name. I get an error message everytime I try to post,reply or update my info. Maybe the admim. just doesn't like me. I've waited and waited and have sent and resent my validation request. Could you contact the admim. for me and tell them Redhand1322 is trying to get on. Thanks if you can help.

                Stars-n-bars and cpl norton, have you made sure your spam filters are turned off or that you can allow the US Militaria forum to access your email? I've posted your problem in the help section, so I'll see what they tell me about any issues with getting registered.

                    Here's the response I've received from a moderator:
                    "If they are using Hotmail.com or Gmail.com as their email address for registering, they may be getting blocked since those accounts are used heavily by spammers. Tell them to use another email server such as Juno.com. Once they are registered, they can always change their email back to whatever they use in their profile."
                    Please let me know if this is the problem. Probably should go to PMs so the forum can be free for its intended purpose.
