Thanks for your comments John, Glenn and Harry. Given that this year marks 100 years since the start of the Great War, I have a sneaking suspicion all WW1 items are going to go up a little in price.

Nice, lightly used bayonet by a scarce maker. You did well.

Mine was given to me by the widow of the vet who brought
it back from the trenches in ww1 as a 16th birthday gift.
It is the one piece of my collection that I can guaranty
I will never sell.

I love hearing stories like that Chopperman. It would be great to see it if you have any pics handy.

[Chopperman]

I don't have any good pics but I do have these--

I love that display photo. I'd love to get my hands on a Pickelhaube but I haven't seen one for the right price and I'm not sure it would last long with the humidity around here.
