Daaaayumm is right, that's are hen's tooth

Was hard to let it go, but I knew it was going to a good home and that it would be treasured as much as I had treasured it. Glad you're happy with it!

No luck involved there. Just a willingness, knowledge, AND true desire to own it. You got a great addition to your collection from one of the great ones. Congratulations.

They are certainly a treasure and part of Canadian history. I have one at my home right now that surfaced at a garage sale a few months ago in Orillia, Ont. for $75 including sheath. It was quickly flipped for a lot more $$$$.
Certainly not as nice as David's and unfortunately I didn't find it but current owner brought it up to try on my MHG and left it so I could take photographs.
Often wondered if Savage actually made these bayonets or had another company make them.

The info I have says Savage manufactured the bayonet.

Nice to see it stay within "the family". cool

The UGCA collectors show is in Ogden Oct 10 and 11. That'll be the first time I've shown the bayonet and the 1895 carbine. I'll let you guys know if anyone likes them.
Posted By: wyo1895 Re: MHG bayonet - 10/04/15
I'll post pics from my display.
Posted By: S99VG Re: MHG bayonet - 10/04/15
Of course now you have to get the 99 Musket to go with the bayonet.
Posted By: wyo1895 Re: MHG bayonet - 10/05/15
I already had the musket.
Posted By: S99VG Re: MHG bayonet - 10/05/15
Somehow I knew that was coming. Here's how these things work for me. Say I find a sight, stock or something like your bayonet it will set me off on a quest to finish the puzzle. When you have time post a picture of your musket and tell us something about it. Thanks.

David probably has better pictures of it, but here's a picture from the last Fest.

Pardon my ignorance, but were these bayonets serial numbered to their guns?

Collectors of U.S. bayonets used to say that the Krag bayonet was the most handsome of the lot. I would have to say that this one has them beat.
Posted By: wyo1895 Re: MHG bayonet - 10/05/15
They weren't serial numbered. I'll post pics of my musket with the new bayonet in my display next weekend.

He sure does. He was a lot of help with the MHG info and accessories for the book.
