I don't have one, yet, but I'm almost certain some of you have at least one! Show some pictures! I really like a good Bayonet, and am thinking about making one my next blade purchase!

Nice collection Jonathan; I especially liked the curved blades.They all look to be in very good shape.

I bought a bayonet off of Jonathan a while back, another 1877 Gras, dated 1879 and I'm wanting to say the same factory...can't really read mine too well but it's inscription is slightly different (the "Mars" bit, forgive me my french is awful and I don't know the significance here, isn't on mine)... Jonathan can probably fill in the details for me as he'd have been paying more attention to these things.
Mine doesn't have a scabbard, but oh well.
I've been wanting a '66 Chassepot and have found several here an there but the pennies have never lined up the right way...same goes for a number of German and Swiss bayonets... Find myself wanting an Arisaka just for fun but not a pressing "need" as of now.
I'll get around to picking up a few.
As for pictures of mine, just look at Jonathan's and pretend the year says 1879.

I have a thing for long bayonets; particularly I'd like a US 1905 replica eventually. That brass gripped German one's pretty nice too.

Better yet, mounted bayonets.

Many sword bayonets were as long as (or longer than) the one in your pic. That bayonet might be a US M1862 Zouave bayonet or similar Confederate bayonet.

I do like sword bayonets. I hope to add one to my collection of stuff soon.
