Hello All,
Well, these didn't sell previously which can only mean one thing... I priced them too high. So here goes again:
I have two bayonets.
Now, first let me say that I'm not a bayonet guy, so what I know about these I gleaned off the internet. The one on the right is M7 bayonet made by the Bauer Ordnance company which according to Wikipedia was the original manufacturer. If that's the case I think that this would make this a Vietnam Era bayonet. What it was doing in a garage sale in central Georgia I couldn't tell you. It also come with the WWII era M8A1 scabbard. This one has what I read is a less common "WD" marking. No one seems to really know who made the "WD" scabbards. These seem to go for about 60 dollars. I'll let this one go for 30 dollars shipped to your location in the continental U.S.
The one on the right is an M5 bayonet made by Kiffe Japan. According to reading I've done these were supposedly private purchase bayonets. Again it comes with an M8A1 scabbard this one is marked "PWH" for the Pennsylvania Working Home for the Blind. These seem to go for around 50 bucks. I'll send you this one for 35 dollars shipped.
Next up I have a Ravenclaw fighting knife from Museum Replicas Limited. It's a wickedly elegant knife. From MRL's site:
This wicked Raven Claw Fighting Knife''s hilt is cast metal and the deadly blade is blackened to a deep black luster. The blade comes sharpened from the factory and is nicely balanced.
Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.

MRL happens to have it on their deal of the day today for 90 dollars, although I paid 110. I'll pass it along to you for 40 dollars shipped.
As always I will consider interesting trades including flashlights, gun stuff, knives, watches, rare books etc. etc. It never hurts to ask...
