Below are the images of selected common bayonets used by selected countries. I will add to this from time to time - mainly upon request - when identification of a certain bayonet is requested.
My intent is to help the novice collector, not to help line the pockets of pseudo antique dealers.
The best advice I can offer to the novice collector is, "READ BOOKS."
There are a number of wonderful books available and below I have listed some of my favorites.
AGAIN, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
