Be careful. There are far more reproduction M39 bayonets than surviving originals. I would suggest that posting images on the internet for authentication purposes may not be the best approach. Decent (not Great) reproductions can be found for under $150.00.

Looks good to me. I think it was sharpened after import.

why not the best idea? By the way, ive done my research and all the people who have seen the knife have been sure that this is in fact an original.Insignificant Git wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 10:30 pm Be careful.

Interesting that the original post from 2013 that the above link goes to starts with the words 'Title Says it All" >>>just like this thread began with.<<< I guess more than one person uses a somewhat arcane phrase to start a thread about M39 bayonets.
Curious as to why, if one has "done my research and all the people who have seen the knife have been sure..." is there a need to start a thread about it on a different forum, and then get snippy if someone simply says 'Be Careful'?

Maybe the OP was wanting a second opinion 11 years later. Who knows? I wouldn't have caught that.Insignificant Git wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 1:23 pmhttps://www.warrelics.eu/forum/finnish- ... ost1018983Snek123 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 7:54 pmwhy not the best idea?

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis
