Re: My new Elite Diamant Matching Bayonet
It is a very nice bayonet.
I realise it must be frustrating not to be able to talk to the Veteran about it, but if he is not in good health it is only fair that the wishes of the home are respected.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: My new Elite Diamant Matching Bayonet
i know its not as much of a historically significant piece as an SA dagger, but I enjoy collecting bayonets and fixed blades both US and German. I have yet to add a matching #'ed bayonet to my collection, so I really like this one. Its tough because pictures don't do edged weapons any Justice.....you kinda need to see them in real life. If anyone else would like to share there k98's or any other bayonets I would LOVE to see em!!

Re: My new Elite Diamant Matching Bayonet
absolutely ADE! Obviously i was very understanding to the nurse about this, but you can't help but feel a little frustrated inside! lol It's also very sad that soon enough there wont be any ww2 vets left to hear there amazing life stories and experiences. I told the nurse to tell the man that I would take very good care of it and to thank him for his service.

Re: My new Elite Diamant Matching Bayonet
Maybe you could send a thank you card to the Veteran. Thank him for his service to his country and tell him how you will look after his war trophy. It might just open doors. Worth a try.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: My new Elite Diamant Matching Bayonet
thats a good idea too Ade. I really would hate to be intruding especially if he is not in the best health conditions. But maybe it would make his day if I sent a thank you card and a picture of his bayonet w/ my collection. I think I might just do that, beause who knows if the nurse actually gave him my thanks. Great idea!

Re: My new Elite Diamant Matching Bayonet
Nice bayonet. It seems like every bayonet I touch has an unmatching scabbard.

Re: My new Elite Diamant Matching Bayonet
