Nice, it's a shame not more of this bayonet fencing equipment has survived.

Incidentally, I know a place on the Portobello road where they have one of these plunger-bayonet wasters for sale. I'd imagine there are probably quite a lot of them floating around.

WW1 examples would normally go for about £150.

Thats too much :(

I expect a modern waster would be about half that price as well :(
