Hello All,
So, I've got a couple of more larger blades that need to go off to a new home.
In this case, first 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 60 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 50 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. View attachment 1548148
Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.
SPECIFICATIONS
Attribute name Attribute value
Overall Length 19-1/2"
Blade Length 13-1/4"
Blade Width 1-1/2"
Blade Thickness 3/16"
Weight 1lb
Blade Material 1055 High Carbon Steel
Edge Factory Sharpened
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 60 dollars shipped.
The other item I have is an outstanding rondel dagger from Tod's Workshop in England. This is a reproduction of a common form of medieval dagger. It features an ACTUAL armor piercing blade (not those wimpy things that we call that these days) that's about a half inch thick at the spine, some amazingly detailed piercework rondels (I can't imagine how long it took to do those) and a hardwood handle. It comes complete with a very nice stiff leather sheath also by Tod. You can't actually get this knife from Tod anymore without custom ordering it. Most of his rondel daggers these days run you around 700 dollars U.S. I'm offering this one for 400 dollars U.S. including shipping. I recognize that this really isn't the right forum for this piece but I thought I would let you guys have first crack at it before I go to the ancient weapons forums.

As always I will consider interesting trades including flashlights, gun stuff, knives, watches, rare books etc. etc. It never hurts to ask...
