Quick showing today.

New piece I just got. Soviet 5.45x18, possibly fired, or failed to fire. Still a nice refference piece.

2 dots headstamp should indicate" Jurjuzaňskij mechaničeskij zavod Jurjuzaň manufacture.

I love cutaways, and would love to get all the types for the Czechoslovak vz. 43 round (7.63x39) and put them on the print I have framed.

So far, I have the blank I made myself, still have tocadd the powder imitation, reduced cartridge, tracer and off the goal, russian civilian soft point (I believe)

Share your cutaway cartridges if you want guys.

Cheers

No words needed just pure cool factor, love the exposed core.

Hope you like this one too

Cheers

Hi,

Had 2 weird bullets that I know nothing about so, I figured might try posting it here if anybody knows ID on them.

Dont have my caliper on hand right now, si I used the cutting board as a refference just in case.

For the first one it is really cool thatcI have a cutaway as well, construction is weird to me but it is cool. Outside is aluminium, steel Corel inside and justca Tiny bit of lead in the tip.

Other one, no idea but feels like it is missing a driving band.

Welp, any info will be appreciated

Or just enjoy the look at it.

Cheers

Once upon a time, i was bored while sorting through 6 kilos of cartridges that were gifted to me and decided to make a decoration stand with few.

Left side are 3 german WW2 ones and the 2 on the right are post war czechoslovak training cartridges with wooden bullets.

Just a funny project i made under an hour.

Cheers

Hi,

I wanted to show you something interesting i recently picked up, looking at the grand scheme of things this is not particulary rare or expensive bayonet. It is a standart soviet folding bayonet for the 1944 mosin-nagant carbine. This was the iteration of the semin folding bayonet that was trialed and meant for the standart 91/30 rifle in 1943. As name suggests, it was designed by N.S. Semin, currently there is more information about him in english or western world at all. Those "1943" bayonets were longer than the standart 44", they had different lug configuration and were fixed to the barrel same as the regular socket bayonet. The difference was in the pin that prevented the bayonet from being removed.

In 1944 Soviets realized that the carbine version is going to be vastly more practical than the regular 91/30 and switched the produciton to make shorter bayonets for carbines. There were roughly only about 20000 91/30 long bayonets/rifle combos made, compared to the circa 7,5 milion M44s made with bayonets.

One of witch is the one I have. there are 2 interesting things about this one. 1. It still has the sleeve with the locking mechanism, most of the ones available are just the spike itself not the mechanism, since it is permanently pinned to the carbine with 2 pins. Not saying it is something extremely rare or hard to remove from the gun but still, you dont see it often.

And 2nd, Last picture shows what I assume is remnants of, probably "would be" import marking destined for america? mayhaps, that is my theory, could be anything really. But still interesting.

For more information on the semin and 44" bayonet you can watch 2 videos on YT about them.

Forgotten weapons video

Pointy not Sharp video

One thing to add, this might not neccesarily be soviet made, ther ewere countries in the eastern block that made the same carbine, with different designations, but with the same style of the folding bayonet and could be from any of those (Poland, Hungary, Romania or china to name the few)
Looking at the details it seems like soviet one, markings, the few that are visible or legible are consistent with what you can find on soviet stuff but I can be wrong obviusly.

hope you like the post,

Cheers.

After a long time looking for right keywords found the ones I wanted. Got to printing and today it is finally done, so I would love to share the results.

Love it.... primaris for comparison 😆😅

Cheers

PS: I hate my friend for naming him shrek because of the filament I used...... FML

Hey guys, wanted to show some nice pieces that are displayed at Žižkov military museum.

And as you can see, bayonet can be more that just a staboo it can also be a flag pole, but still ready for stabing.

This set of rifle+bayonet+flag comes with provenance of its use at the battle of Zborov - 1917

Still a nice piece.

If you are visiting Prague definetly consider visiting any of the VHU run places, it is free.

Cheers

Hi, quick share of this incredible piece.

15 rounds packaged in temporary paper box. That is what "prozatimní balení" means.

Very cool round that is not seen much, even less so in specialised packages like this one.

Enjoy.

Cheers

Hey guys,

Got this bayonet at a steal price recently and given some research, I believe that it might be an original New Zeland bayonet or at least meant for NZ and not shipped.

Long Branch made checks out for it as all or most of them were, and looking at one small research article i found (last picture) the example I have is marked not only the same way but clearly by the same person.

Marking is scratched in, this can bring up the fact that they could have been faked by someone, which very well possibly can be. So far I am leaning towards original with some reservation.

Any thoughts or even better someone from NZ who collects these and knows their stuff?

Also the link for the article I found: http://www.bayonetsplus.com/NZ%20No.4%20MkII-ill.pdf

Hi guys,

Following my haul post I wanted to ask if anybody knows the answer.

My info on these 2 are comming from here:

https://worldbayonets.com/Bayonet\_Identification\_Guide/Britian\_\_No\_\_4\_Spike\_Bayonet\_/britain\_spikes\_2.html

From my understanding, bot bayonet and scabbard should be marked by their respective markings. But both have no markings, just the scabbard throat has broad arrow and W in circle.

Anybody encountered unmarked bayonet or this scabbard before?

Thanks,

Cheers

Found some good deals (or maybye I overpaid, who knows) and finally got most of it in.

Wanted to share the goodies with fine folks here.

Small meaningless + if you identify everything 😄

Last picture is not bayonet related but it was part of the haul.

Will make one or 2 separate posts later.

Enjoy

Cheers

from a local auction website, currently hour left in an auction with 13 people and over 50 waiting for the end, LOL

10/10 would laugh again

cheers

Finally after a lot of key word searching got the goodest boy here and started printing him and felt like sharing the progress, it aint much, but it's honest work 😄

Can wait to complete him.

PS: totally not intended but my friends started calling him "shrek" due to the different materials I used here 😅

Hey guys,

Cross post did not work for me today for some reason from r/Bayonets So I am just copy & pasting it here looking for help, if anyone knows about finnish bayonets and could verify or clarify stuff aobut it.

Was looking through new listings from a seller I got a small bayonet haul some weeks back and found this M27. It looks nice but one thing struck me as, odd. There is no maker mark, like none as you can see in the pictures. Anybody well wersed in Finnish bayonets knows if that was a thing that happened? Is it some civilian overrun, prototype, bad quality that was meant to be destroyed? It doesnt look like replica, too well made and a appropriate wear for its age. I like finnish arms and bayonets, and they are not particullary common so when I saw it I almost got it right away but the missing maker mark stopped me.

Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers

Today I went to.the Grand opening of the new shop in Prague, and managed to infiltrate the front of the queue, made a small post about it here ->
