I like the long bayonets!

2024-10-07 03:01:56 +0000 UTCI liked the cleaner of the bayonets. It's very difficult to find period correct bayonets to go with historic rifles, which I'll admit is an American pursuit for legal reasons. Solingen is well known for high quality steel products for various military pursuits. Thank you for showing us your loot!

2024-10-06 17:01:48 +0000 UTCIt's hard to tell because it was not in the screen long enough, but judging from the handle, the katana looks more like a wakizashi to me. Worn in pairs, a katana (roughly 1m long) would be accompanied by a wakizashi with about 60cm of length. It may be my favorite out of that bag, but I'd like to see more of the fittings, especially the tsuba (disk-shaped guard), which were often quite elaborate.
