miltaria question

[Talquin]

Just a question for you you knowing sorts:

are 8mm stripper clips in demand at all or are there a lot of cheap ones up here?

Second question.

I picked up two japanese bayonets both in mint condition with scabbards. One is a training bayonet unsharped and the other is a Jinsen Arsenal blade factory sharpened only .what's a decent price to pay for these?

I know it's vague but im going into post some pictures when i get back from the states this weekend.

How many do you want? LOL have a sh*t load of turkish ones. Too good to throw away but not worth keeping.

I'm getting thriple digit amount from the states. was wondering what a good price was. more interested in the bayonets though. aparently jinsen aresenal was in manchuria and made low numbers of them.

There is the "Rossguy" on your side of the border for parts. I don't have his Email but am sure other forum members can supply that.

No idea of what strippers should go for.

Have two of them.

Most Japanese bayonets are $50-90 or so.

Like many things nowadays, prices are often set by what the last one went for on ebay...watch the auctions for exactly the same thing.

However an Eisern Kreuz mit Schwerten, Eichenlaub und Brillianten is far above anything us mere mortals could afford.

...... german war medals i assume?

 

[bushwhacker]

I'd like to find a Ross MkIII bayonet I could afford, to ensure I get the right wood length and nosecap position when extending the cut forend.

I've seen them as cheap as $30 if they're rusty as hell and in dreadful condition...

 

[Klunk]

no sane person buys German war medals anymore...

In v. good cond. the original iron cross 2nd. class I have seen selling at auction and shows for around $100 - $170. 1st. class $100 - $280.
If they are marked and with an iron portion, the higher those est.
As for missing ribbon you can knock off a few dollars.
Ross bayonet/scabbard unmessed with $100-$130.
