Hi guys,
I have the oppertunety on these 3 dress bayonets.
To me they seem good, but I am not sure about the etching on the blades !
What do you think ??
Any comments will be much appreciated .

They look good.
Can you make better pictures of the etches?
Are they only single etched ?

[unimarc]

Unfortunately I can't get better pics, these are from they guy selling :-/
Yes I am pretty sure it is one sided !

i agree with stingray ,they "seem" good but i think that a good seller should give better pics of his articles(expecially etched bayonets) if he has nothing to hide

I will say that I don't see anything obviously wrong with the etches, BUT, I don't see how you could with the photo's provided. They are the right etches on the correct makers bayo though. I would think that for the money he must be asking, he could be troubled to take better pictures! Buying these from the photo's provided, would be a roll of the dice. But, then again, I think all etches are a roll of the dice.

good idea to see in hands and have new pics...here the "etchperts" will help you)

Can't add anything but nice condition KS98's in dress frogs with knots which should be affixed to frog not bayonet frogs and knots may not belong together blade etching I stay away from. Putting that aside I do like them. timothy

Extreme close ups of the etch lettering and borders..is the only other available resource to identifying an authentic etch process..viewing it on a 2 dimensional screen. Any other type of view on the computer as Jim says is a gamble. Of course the only and best way with these bayos is an "in hand" inspection.

You guys have better eyes at this stuff. Those lightly frosted backgrounds throw me off..thinking differently. Regards Larry
