JSAR bayonet & scabbard

[Black Tom 0]

I have an opportunity to buy, what I am told is, an original JSAR bayonet & scabbard.

I have not seen these yet, but will next week and I'm pretty sure I can determine if they are originals versus reproductions.

I do know that the bayonet has numbers on the muzzle ring, and there are some numbers on the scabbard--different from the numbers on the bayonet.

If I buy these, and assuming that both are in good (not pristine) condition is there anyone who will be interested in buying them from me for about $400?

Thanks, B.T.

Our webmaster will have to rule on the "can I sell on this forum" question, but there's no doubt the bayonets and sheaths are even rarer than the weapons. Actual value will hinge a lot on the quality of the sheath. One of my neighbors has an amazingly pristine example - museum quality and 100% genuine, and it's got to be worth a heck of a lot more than my average-condition set.

They occasionally come up on Ebay, usually sell in the neighborhood of $400 more or less, but sometimes a bargain will slip through. If you post some photos of it, the experts on this forum can undoubtedly give you a value opinion.

Re: Selling on the board ---

It seems appropriate and already being done actually to make a firm offer to sell (not prospects or proposals) to the members of this board. It seems to me it would be a courtesy to us in gaining a "first offer" view in exchange for an extensive targeted audience - ready and willing to buy. (God knows, I'd love to acquire an original manual and a 7mm barrel when I felt "flush" with cash someday!)

I think the critical point here is to NOT create an auction site. My two cents.

Jim & diggeri: You guys are right, and I apologize. If I buy this rig I will set a price and advertise it first on this board if it is ok with the webmaster.

Incidentally, I don't think that eBay is accepting anything that is firearm related.

I'll check, maybe they do accept bayonets.

Thanks, B.T.
