There was a very well known dealer at a gun show in Montreal 30 years ago who watched a dealer dump a box of bayonets on his table. Larry noticed a MHG bayonet and quickly bought it at a bargain price. Later he showed it to another dealer and gloated about his purchase. The other dealer said he already knew because the vendor had told him when he had bought the other two.
I bought my MHG in about 1990. It took almost 30 years to find a bayonet with scabbard at a price I could afford. Are they worth it? Who knows but you sure won't find one at Walmart.
Most of the MHG bayonets I have seen for sale in the past 20 years have been highly polished and wood varnished. Does a professional refinish help or hinder the bayonets?
A professional refinish would be an extreme hindrance to me, I wouldn’t even consider a refinished bayonet for any amount approaching the prices noted above. Ymmv
