Recent Pickups, Including Today's Raleigh Militaria Show

[thorin6]

Picked these blades up over the past month at different places. The two on the upper left came from today; the Australian/New Zealand Knuckle Knife and the Theater Knife (I don't think the scabbard for the Theater Knife is original to the knife, too nice. The tag says it was made from a saw); the bayonet in the middle (antique shop in Florida off I-75) is a Rock Island Arsenal dated 1907 in a M1917 scabbard (issued as a substitute for the canvas or leather scabbards; the end is a little loose), in the lower right, from top is a PAL USMC red spacer Marine Corps fighting knife (Ebay) with a marked sheath that I have yet to read; and in the lower right is a 5-inch Jet Pilots Knife (flea market find), Camillus NY marked on the blade (pre-1967) and original sheath with the sharpening stone.

I'll post some more pictures of the Knuckle Knife later as it has an interesting mark on the back of the sheath. You can still see traces of the black paint that was used to cover the handle.
