Hi SCOTT,

Thanks for your comments.

I have also been collecting SS Rifles and Bayonets for over 35 years and can understand your feelings about bad rifles and bayonets being out there in the market. Some time ago I gave up collecting SS rifles and pursued collecting SS Bayonets full time because they are more rare and scarace than the rifles. In addition the bayonets are less screwed around with than are the SS rifles. I am sure that you have seen quite a few bad SS items in your collecting career. Such dealers as M.H. have been known to have sold bad pieces. I myself have bought some from him which he later bought back.
As for SS bayonets, other than those pieces that you have seen at the shows. How many complete matched rigs have you actually seen? My bayonets have come from vetrans, fellow collectors, BCN Members, EBAY,and some from the mystery millionaire.
