I bought my first bayonet in Gatlinburg, TN at the age of 12. The store was "The Acorn" and has been closed for years. Back then the bayonets were in buckets or short barrels in stores for about $8.00 each. Mauser rifles were $29.00 in some stores. Cool picture, and I too had my clothes on. Probably some real ugly cloths my mother dressed me in.
