Bayonet Collection

Does anyone else collect bayonets? I owned over a hundred at one time and have owned more than a thousand over the decades. I was buying them wholesale with my FFL and selling them on EBay.
I only have a few dozen left.

Wow! Over a thousand! I hope you made some good money. Between PayPal and Ebay fees I quit selling on Ebay. There was a time when it was profitable. Hope you find a good home for them.

I would buy a hundred 1907 Enfield bayonets at a time for $15 each and sell them for $35 to $150 each. The average was around $65 each. I could sell an FR7 bayonet but not a CETME bayonet. Yet they were exactly the same.

My SKS had an attached folding bayonet.

When I got my SKS it did not have one on it, but I assumed that was the way it probably worked.

I had the Norinco Type 56. I’m guessing you might have the OP-SKS or the SKS-M.
