    Awesome Garage sale finds!!!

    I went to some garage sales the last couple of days and found some really cool things. The first things were I got 10 coin holder books for $1.00 Woohoo! But the coolest thing I got was this bayonet. It's a 1907 model Wilkinson British standard issue bayonet! This was the standard issue for WWI. I looked at it for about 10 minutes before making the decision to buy it. He was asking $50 for it, but I got it for $40. I don't believe I lost money on it and it makes an awesome addition to my collection of relics! Here's the pics...
