    Default Photos of my Bayonets and Scabbards (Photos Fixed)

    I collect US Military Long Arms and currently have about 100 pieces of history in my care. They span from Flintlocks of the French & Indian War and Revolutionary War all the way to what is currently in service. They include the appropriate slings and bayonets with scabbards for most. I posted these bayonet photos on another forum back in 2015 starting with reference books, socket bayonets, sword bayonets (sold 2 since then) and then knife bayonets. They start out grouped by era and include identification of the bayonet and related scabbard. Then the format changes as I added bayonets and scabbards with more photos of each. So hope you enjoy the photos. (This is my forth thread started on Culver’s, one was a Remington Model 10-A in the Military Shotguns Forum, one was photos of my sniper rifles in the sniper forum and one just posted today is photos of my US Navy BP bolt rifles in the Krag forum.
