You wake up a 6AM on a Sunday morning............... drive 70 miles through a rain and snow storm........ to set up a the quarterly little local military show. 7 hours later and you've sold 1 measly SA dagger. All the venders have packed up at noon and basically left, as there were only 20 people that even came through the doors all day long. When packing up the last of your stuff into your vehicle, an ole boy walks up to you when he realizes that he missed the entire show. He plops this box down in the parking lot next to your car, and it's only then that you realize what you love about this hobby............................................ the thrill of the hunt.

You just never know with this hobby. Just when you think there is nothing left...that's it's all picked over...shaking your head as you walk out to you car...then BINGO! Score!
It does happen...when you least expect it. Congrats JR!

i`m green with envy, but one question. why all the dagger `bits`?. what would a vet have wanted with them?.

Steve, this was a collector that squirrels away parts, fittings, and everything else that he could get his hands on. Not the 83 year old vet. JR

Sweet
I love what you found. I am hooked on dress bayonets, so I would not mind getting those from the pack
The luft looks very nice as well.
P.S.: Could you post a pic of the axe?
