    All except for the Lee-Enfield bayonet, are complete with original scabbards and frogs.

    Nice set of bayonets there Amigo! Always glad to see someone else throw some wicked blades up for show.

    Keep 'em coming!

    My wife told me last month that I "have a problem"....   Naturally I must disagree.  I just find these extremely interesting!

    I have only added a couple (or three) since my last post here.

    Here are my Swiss bayonets.  from oldest to newest (top to bottom)

    1893 : M1889 Swiss bayonet for Schmidt-Rubin Rifle Models 1889, 1896/11.  Not factory refurbished.

    1916 : M1899 Swiss bayonet for Schmidt-Rubin Rifle Models 1911 (infantry) rifle

    unknown year : M1906 sawback bayonet.  This was a transitional bayonet using the older Vetterli sawback blade with a 'newer' style Schmidt-Rubin handle.  The blade on this one is just under 19" long!  What a beast.

    1934 : M1918 Swiss bayonet for Schmidt-Rubin Rifle K31
