My collection could fill that entire...sheet of pegboard that's displaying your daggers and bayonets :)

Very impressive Howie. Again, I really like how you have them displayed!

Always nice to see it again :)

Nice rare Stevens trench gun. I bet the mini-gun would be fun.

What's most cool about your collection is the details of it. I love all the data plates hanging above the bayonet collection! Stuff like that help make this whole collection immense!

You still need to post a pic of that wonderful fiery birch stocked Russian....Don't make me beg, please...:)

I'd also like to know if the bayonet on your Ex-DDR Russian SKS has markings on the left side of it, above the blood groove. Pics would be great, for my research endeavors....if you get some time.

Howie, that fiery birch looks like a dated Letter "D". Awesome looking rifle!

I assume the bayonet on your Ex-DDR is silver, then.
