My dad has been going through his stuff and thinking its time to get rid of some things. Anyone know the market for bayonets?
Below are some pics and info he sent.


the last photo is of one of several bayonets I got that are still wrapped in the cosmoline from when they were stored many moons ago. I unwrapped them partially to determine if the handles were wood or bakelite..bummer; wanted wood, turned out plastic.
Interesting parts of history.
The wooden handled 10 in blade was cut in a saber point and is a SA 1908 marked
The UFH has no date stamped on it.
The other SA is ` 1918 stamped
The 1908 16 inch blade w/ canvas scabbard I'm told is a collectable keeper like to fine out what it's value is.

Semper Fi!

UFH ( Union Fork and Hoe) was made 1944 to 45 and is worth around $175. They were issued with plastic handles.The SA (Springfield Armory) with canvas scabbard looks like great shape from pictures, Id say worth around $300 to $350. 10" SA probably around $100. The Cilivan Marksmanship Program web forum would be best place to unload these for the best price. Google ODCMP/FORUM for link.
