Finnish M35 bayonets
Sources I found, including the newly published book "three line rifle to ukko pekka", are stating that the m/35 bayonets are chemically blued and of the Finnish Army (as in nothing to do with the civil guards) However I've seen numerous for sale m/35s are in the white (no blued). A couple of them even have the Sk.y stamp on it. I'm a little confused here. Are they fake? Or were there a civil guard version of the m/35 where the blade is NOT blued?
Also, how rare are the no name no maker m35 bayonet?Thanks.

Finnish M35 bayonet
Is 295.00 USD overpriced for a Finnish M35 bayonet and scabbard that is in relatively good condition and that comes with an original frog?

Looking for a scabbard
I restored the 1907 Lee infield bayonet and am looking for the appropriate scabbard/ sheath. Anyone have an idea how to go about it?
