          Really amazing part is how expensive they've gotten. Saw one of the image 1214 bayonets on Salter's site the other day at $325. Paid $20 for the one I have. My retirement fund keeps getting bigger.

              I suspect that as international firearm laws become tougher more and more people are turning to collecting bayonets hence the price boom. I’ve got about a dozen bayonets and all are now worth more than I paid for them.
              Is it not better to place a question mark upon a problem while seeking an answer than to put the label `God` there and consider the matter closed? Joseph Lewis

                I don't really remember this but Chuck told me in the 70s and 80s if you bought a bayonet many dealers would give you a scabbard for free....Some scabbards today bring a premium. I agree baynonets and assecories may be a much easier item to collect in the new world of government will raise you and knows best.

                  I found this Wilkinson hooked quillon in 2001. The collector only collected Japanese bayonets and this was found

                    Thanks for posting I'm jealous. They are a very cool variation that's hard to find.

                      No. 4 spikes were sold as tent pegs up here. Even they've gotten pricey. They later stuff didn't have as many made due to what they went on was being phased out.
                      "...in the 70s and 80s..." Bayonets just came with the scabbard. I think I had to buy 2.

                        Well the No 4 spike would accelerate as a tent peg. Little over kill but it would work.

                          old WW1 photo

                          Found this photo on the internet a few years ago

                          It said: France 1916DSCN2096.jpg

                          Interesting to see the troops from India still using the P1903 bayonet

                            India kept it in service long pastWW1. Nice picture of colonial soldiers.
