I agree. Any reason and you gave me one. Engineers probably liked the long bayonet to probe with. Picture saved to my Militaria files. Thanks much

Glad I could help! ;) Speaking of probing with blades, here are some pictures I hope you'll enjoy. The first one was taken in Europe; the other two in Iwo Jima (Marines).

This drawer holds most of my USGI folding knives, including the MIL-K, engineer, Colonial Jiant Jacknife, and other miscellaneous types.

Charlie what is the blue switchblade?

 

Doc:

 

Sorry for the delay in response. I had not been checking the thread and did not realize you had asked the question. The blue switchblade is an Edgemaster. It is not military but I stuck it in there with the other automatic knives for lack of a better place to put it.

 

LtRGFrank, you have some nice blades there, too. Those EG Waterman blades are always easy to pick out in a crowd.

 

Here is another drawer of blades, these being variations on the Jet Pilot knives. There are some 5" and 6" Camillus examples, a Marbles, Ontario and a MilPar. After 30 years of looking around for blades I have yet to run across the elusive Utica Jet Pilot knife. One of these days.....

Thanks Charlie

 

I just wondered if there was ever a blue jump knife.

 

Nice pilot knives, your collection does not seem to have an end.

Hey gunbarrel,

 

Thanks for the welcome and kind words. I've been lurking in the shadows here for a while. I had a couple of photos easily available so decided to put them up.

Thats a heckuva lot of M-9's you have there.

How many variants do they make?

 

Those are just the LanCays. I also have just as many or more Phrobis, Bucks, foreign copies and prototypes. All told I probably have over 250 M9s.

Well, this is my first post here and I figured this would be a good place to get started...

 

I began collecting bayonets and rifles with the intent to stick primarily to all the major nations involved in WWII. At some point I started focusing primarily on US bayonets, and lately I've started to delve more into the AK-47 bayonets. Here's my display of the U.S. bayonets I have collected so far. The spikes are on the same board out of convenience mostly. I don't have enough British bayonets to warrant their own board, and I don't have enough US bayonets to facilitate the need to scoot the Brits out of this board yet.

It's nice seeing these long bayonets. I've had to talk myself out of buying a couple probably a hundred times.

 

They're long enough to be swords...kinda...right? :)

Since I moved from my large room upstairs to give young Gary a better place to live, I have moved my collection into the small bedroom he occupied. This has meant that I have had to put most of my blades in drawers similar to what Charlie and Bill have done. Fortunately I have a cabinet that my father built for me shortly before he passed away that can hold quite a few of them.

 

I display the bayonets that are "primary" to the 20th Century from my book on a board.

Most of the other bayonets and knives are in the cabinet just below the display.

I have a few socket bayonets that are on the board where I display the few firearms I still have:

Very nice collection, Gary! Love the cabinet, too. I have a bench in the garage that my Dad built before he passed away, and I wouldn't sell it for anything.

Simply impressive and outstanding Gary!

That drawer full of 1905's is awesome.

Is that a frog on the one Krag?

 

That one is a chromed Cadet model, and the leather part is a garrison belt adapter.

I only have two or so new additions from my last post here, but I figured I'd post this anyway on account of how happy I am with me Buck + USMC trials M-9. As you can see, I have a couple new Brits in the mix as well, and all of them have been moved to a larger board. One of these days the Brits will be segregated... I promise.

 

 

I also hoped this might spark some more interest for other collectors to post their pics. I always love seeing other peoples collections and how they have chosen to display them.
