A few GOOD book tips. Please let me know if you are interested in one of the books. I can help you to order.

THE COLLECTORS BOOK OF GERMAN BAYONETS

1680-1945


By Roy Williams

For many years collectors of German bayonets have had to buy bayonet reference books from a variety of sources,each with a different way of listing individual specimens or groups,and often contained within larger volumes that show bayonets from all over the world.

This two part publication is an attempt to give both new and established collectors a comprehensive guide that clearly identifies the rare and unusual from the more common bayonets.Starting at the earliest date and keeping original,modified and later types in family groups.Each full length bayonet photograph has been numbered in sequence,with a brief description of the model type and scabbard,plus details of the manufacturers trademarks,regimental markings &dimensions.I have also added some interesting troop photographs and where possible shown bayonets fixed to the rifle.

The first part contains hundreds of detailed photographs of many interesting & unrecorded specimens from collections throughout the world.
Part One – Available November 2005

Part Two – Available April 2010



Collecting bayonets

Jim Maddox

A brand new book by my good friend Jim Maddox . He has been collecting since over 45 years The book is intended to be an overall guide to the collecting of bayonets, not simply an identification tool nor an extensive treatment of a single nationality.  Bayonets of all types from all nations are shown and described in detail. The book will be available from mid December.


 



Les baionettes militaires francaises

Gérard Adam, Christian Méry, Pierre Renoux.

Since several decades, no book was seriously devoted to the French martial bayonets. We have wished to fill this gap with a book describing as many as possible of these bayonets using photographs, on the left pages, together with main technical data and remarks, on the right pages, all the informations being based on intensive archives researches. This book is not intended to be a complete catalogue of the French martial bayonets, but more simply, as its name indicates, an easily used memento.  The authors describe 111 French martial bayonets from the pre-regulation times until nowadays, giving the informations taken from the French Army archives and with more than 500 color photographs.


LES BAÏONNETTES MILITAIRES FRANCAISES


The spirit of the spike

Graham Priest.

A really good book by my friend Graham Priest. A must for the bayonet collector.
