Hi everybody,
After a long period of no longer collecting for several reasons, I found my way back into collecting bayonets. I was thinking about it for a while,it never really got out of my head,and it was a fellow collector who contacted me at the right time. Even though he lives far away from me,we always had good contact,and I want to thank him a lot for al the help I had so far in collecting bayonets.
I need to study again,I don't have a lot of time due to work,but I will try as much as I can.
I would like to ask a question about sawbacks. One of the reasons I stopped collecting was the purchase of a fake S84-98 ( I believe) with sawback. It cost me some money,I posted it here and it turned out to be a fake sawback. That is,the bayonet was good,the sawback was postwar added. I like sawbacks a lot,and here in Belgium they are offered many times.
Is there a way to determine easy wether the sawback is genuine are not? Are there significant details I will have to look for? Any help is welcome,als in PM if preferred. I want to study also on my own,so if there is anybody who knows where I can find information about the sawbacks,very much appreciated.
Thank you.
