Thanks Mike.
That's a great collection and I really like that 1909 Bolo.

Thanks. It's a sub collection I really haven't paid much attention to over the years.

The 1909 is nice but does have issues. The blade has pits and some idiot really oiled up the scabbard so in places it is rotting but over all it is still OK. I never put it in the scabbard and try not to touch it at all.

Good stuff!

I've always appreciated a good military blade and have collected many over the years. Just like helmets, I never count them, so I am occasionally a little surprised how many accumulated over time when looking for a particular one. Also like helmets, the particular type and country of origin varies pretty widely.

Got a little whimsical or artistic with some of the U.S. 16 inchers few threads back.
