For several years I've been collecting S84/98 III bayonets. I had the rifles I wanted and wanted to focus on another area collecting. Trying to find the different manufactures, certain dates, codes, etc. was all part of the fun of collecting these bayonets. Recently I sold off a lot that where in fair / poor condition and used the money to purchase some other stuff. I had these out last night and thought you guys might enjoy seeing them
Good Gawd did I count correctly and there's 38 there? That would drive me insane as I would want a rifle to go with each bayonet.
My orphan bayonet pile is getting smaller as I find rifles for them. Down to 2 Turkish M1935 bayonets, 1 Turkish G1 bayonet, 1 Swiss M1889 bayonet missing the scabbard, and 1 6x2 AK47 bayonet.
These were part of a pile of free bayonets I was given some years ago, there was probably a total of 15 or more in the pile when I started. Two of them were/are missing the scabbards the Swiss M1889 and the 10 inch M1 Garand bayonet.
Lol, one was missing from the photo that I forgot about so 39 total. Trying to get a K98 for each bayonet would be pretty pricey
