Brian Wolfe Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Please take the lead and post some of your collection and with a little luck the edge weapon collectors may follow suit. I for one would be quite interested in seeing a thread featuring this subject. Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetnik1942 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'll start this off then. First up we have a Kingdom of Yugoslavia army officers sword from the period between 1922 and 1941. This was used by all military branches and services other than navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetnik1942 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Next sword is the same as the first one, however was used in the period between 1920 and 1922. The difference between the two is the first sword has three stars above the crescent moon of the slovenian coat of arms, this sword has only one. There are other differences from sword to sword. This one in particular has the floral designs and Kingdom of Yugoslavia coat of arms on the blade, whilst the first one does not. The designs varied from one maker to the other. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2012/post-13201-0-97403100-1330815242.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2012/post-13201-0-04237900-1330815269.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chetnik1942 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Unless someone else would like to add to the sword section, maybe we can look at some of the more frequently used cold steel on the battlefield, the bayonet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chetnik1942 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Here is another nice example of a bayonet. Sword bayonet for the 8 mm Yugoslavian M1924 Mauser Short Rifle, AT3 marked. The bayonet has been reworked with a nice blue finish. The blade would originally be a nice white steel colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetnik1942 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 This is a M1924 bayonet which has been shortened. Many of the long sword bayonets were shortened for use. Long and short bayonets together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
