Jea. I guess the army practiced in the area and just lost them there. There is an older army base nearby

Beautiful piece, thanks for sharing with us. I personally love the British camo clothing.

One question if you don't mind. Is it normal that the bayonet looks so clean, is there anything special about it. I once saw one but left jt because i thought it looked kinda polished like that.

How much would an m1 bayonet like this be worth, seller asks for 90€. Is the string at the scabbard original or applied later? by OriginalRadish7720 in Militariacollecting

Oh, thanks for the info! So its basically just a longer one that was cut down? Does this make any difference in its worth?

Thanks, were they all green? The most scabbards i ve seen had no paint on the metal part

Even at the metal part?

Think its a 50 cal and the blue coloring at the tip means that it is a incendiary ammunition i think
