Man I wish I knew!!! The I bought it off of an attendee (not a dealer) and he said it was his mom's "sixth" husbands and that he brough it home from WWII.

I showed it to Eric, the bayonet/knife/sword dealer from New York and he said it was probably a See Bee made theatre knife. He said they would make them while the troops were out and then they would trade them for battle field pick up items like Lugers, Helmets ect.

I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllly like it. Not my favorite of all my WWII knives/bayonets, but it is up there.

That is pretty cool. I like the unique stories behind those types of items.

Needed some new speed strips for my .38, found these and had to have them too.



That's right, 12 gauge speed strip.

I picked up one of those right wing extremist T-shirts it is great and I also bought the live free or die shirt off the guy also! great buy $25.00 for two shirts!!! I think he said he was a moderator over on Saiga forum? There was a guy there with a bunch of bumper stickers also and I stood there for 20 minutes reading them!
