Art- Compared the length of the French to the Lake City .30 carbine ammo. All I checked were the same. SKIP

Thanks for all the responses gang! Will check out the cartridge lengths, but suspect I will never use the ammo. SKIP

Tuna- Thank you for the information. Will probably never use the French ammo, since I don't reload. Inventoried, and separated the ammo last night. Have 114 rounds of French, 16 rds WRA 58, 70 rds...

I have a question, need some real expertise. Bought a bunch of carbine ammo at a local gun show, 200 rds for $60. Some is Lake City 69, but about half is French VE 2-62 BD 7.62. Now I have been...

From 1970-79 I carried a variety of knives. Anywhere from a Buck 110, Gerber MK2, Case 337, 6" Q, Bowie knife, M1910 Repro. Finally settled on a Camillus MK2 in 1974, carried one the next 17 years....

M1917 Bolo Knife. Made by "American Cutlery Company" for WW1.Scabbard is correct. Price range is anywhere from $175-$250, depends on condition. SKIP

It's a Russian Bayonet. Fits the Model 1891 Moisin-Naganat bolt action rifle (and a few other variations). They were not issued with scabbards. It has a fluted blade, and a point that looks like a...

Timmer- You can interchange all the bayonets for Krags, 03s, and M1s. The M1892, M1905, and M1s fit all three rifles. SKIP

Dollar Bill- Since you have a H&R M1, (made M1s from 52-56) and based upon the serial # range you gave, I'd guess either an M1 or M5 bayonet would have been appropriate. You do have the cut down...

Just for fun, checked out my M1905's. I believe I have a range changer. I have a near mint RIA 1908 s/n 120726 it's in a near mint early M1905 "short" throat scabbard dtd 1906 RIA. Pulled out the...

lobo-Just found some info for you. Go to "www.usmilitaryknives.com". Scroll down to Porter's Reports, page 10 has some info on the Italian Bayonets. Then just go down to the bottom section and clic...

lobo-Evidently the Beretta AR 70 is a rare commodity here in the US. I had to look it up. The bayonet is based on the US M4, but have only seen the occasional rare picture. I don't see them for...

GregV- "1937" COOL! Glad to help. SKIP

GregV-I don't collect German bayonets per say, but I do know a little. Look at the "TOP" of the blade directly in front of the guard. There should be a "2" digit number. That's the year of...

jonnyo55-Sounds good! Will keep that in mind SKIP

jonnyo55-Instead of damaging the M8's, I just keep the bayonet out of the scabbard. I make a blade protector from an old file folder, cut and size to fit the blade.Like a paper sheath, and tape it...

Tony-I hope the younger collectors appreciate the fact that sometimes you have to wait half a life time to find that certain item for a collection. I know I have had to with M3's, ebay wasn't always...

Johnny- Need a little more info on the bolo. The US produced a lot of bolo's pre-WW1. They are as follows: M1904 Hospital Corp Bolo, M1909 Bolo, M1910 Bolo, M1917/M1917 CT Bolo, and even an M1915...

Doug- You have been misinformed.American Cutlery Co. made trench knives in WW1. ACC in WW2 was "Aerial" Cutlery Co, different outfit. They eventually changed the stamp on their bayonets to Aerial,...

jimb- Are you referring to the Boker blade marked w/ the double tang? RCC didn't make a double tang. But, RCC's blade dated is not easy to find. SKIP

jeremy- That's it! I like the brown & black spacers, hadn't seen that yet. Scabbard is the same one I've got. Cool! SKIP

alb03- The blade design, and definitely the handle look to be of Filipino origin. Just my guess. SKIP

DRB is correct about the modification. If you ever tried to carry a knife or bayonet w/ belt hooks strapped to your leg you'd see why. The hook snags on every stick, small branch or brush your leg...

jeremy-Don't be too hasty. My guess is you have the correct scabbard. Imperial used leather sheaths on their after market knives. I have one with a late M3 w/ stampings removed. SKIP

jeremy-I paid $50 for mine w/ an M8 scabbard. It's a nice variation.Mine too, was unmarked. But, as I mentioned before it had Imperial characteristics. I really like mine. SKIP
