This is a subreddit for the sharing of information and pictures of bayonets and related militaria. Anyone interested in the study, collection, and preservation of both antique and modern bayonets is welcome to share their pictures, questions, and knowledge.

All bayonets will be gladly received, from the earliest plug bayonets to modern military rifle bayonets, and from all nations. This includes related accoutrements such as scabbards, frogs, belts, etc.

Rules

1. Please read the FAQ if you are new or have a question. A Frequently Asked Questions post is pinned to the top of the subreddit. Check there for answers to many often-asked questions.

2. Please post multiple photos of your bayonet(s). A single photo might only help identification in some cases. Please post multiple photos of your bayonet along with any markings, serial numbers, etc. Take photos of the blade ricasso, maker mark, grips, mortise, etc. The more the better!

3. Be polite. Remember the human. Don't be a jerk. Help when you can. Have fun. No mean-spirited comments will be tolerated. Foul language is fine, just don't direct it towards someone in a rude or demeaning manner.
