	I am always interested in buying or trading for plug bayonets, hirschfanger bayonets, early socket bayonets, or other
	rare bayonets for my personal collection. I am also particularly interested in cadet and toy bayonets. I will also trade
	for any good, high quality bayonet that I can resell. A complete and continually updated list can be found at my web
	page (http://bayonets.com) As in the past, all bayonets will be sold on satisfaction guaranteed basis for one month
	from delivery. If you don't like the bayonet for any reason, you can send it back and I will refund the purchase price
	minus postage. Just don't clean or alter the bayonet. Add postage to all prices. $6.00 for most smaller bayonets and
	$12.00 for the larger ones (some of the really large sword bayonets will be $12.00). Call, fax, or e-mail to assure the
	bayonet is still available. Please refer to them by the Id# (the first number listed).
	The references are all from Bayonets From Janzen's Notebook (marked JN) or Kiesling's Bayonets of the World

	A233		Unusual Austrian ersatz bayonet w/s. This is one of the twisted steel ersatz models. However, I have never seen another one like it. These bayonets are usually crudely made, this one is top quality work. I believe this is a patent model or a prototype. The L shaped muzzle ring appears to be machined out of a block of steel and is extremely thick. It is riveted to the hilt with small round head rivets. The scabbard is also very well made, but from sheet steel. The seams are carefully rolled and the frog stud is round. You have to look carefully at the photos to appreciate this one. It is fantastic and unissued. View Photo, Closeup1 Price: $1000.00 Quantity:	VG+		1,000.00

New	A334	BCB pg 41 table	Excavated British 1756 Light Dragoon Carbine n/s. Very rare model. According to the guy selling this, it was found in the region of Ft. Ticonderoga, but I have no documentation of this. See Erik Goldsteinπs ≥The Socket Bayonet in the British Army....≤ fig 132. 4 1/8 inch socket, 1 3/4 inch S-M distance, MRD about 13/16 (this is a bit hard to measure). Nice solid excavated consition.

New	C012	JN57-1	British P1903 w/s. Scabbard is the rare brass mounted scabbard for tropical service. Blade has issue date of 9 01, so this was originally a P1888. Converted to P1903. It later went to India and is stamped RFI on the top of the pommel. There are Arabic numbers on the cross guard, so I suspect this one ended up in Afghanistan. This was in use by at least three armies for probably well over 70 years. The blade is worn, but not abused. Grips are a bit banged around. The leather is scuffed and the scabbard drag is split a bit on one side. View Photo, Closeup1, Closeup2, Closeup3, Closeup4, Closeup5 Price: $ 250.00 Quantity:	G+		250.00
