British Commonwealth Bayonets and Fighting Knives by Ian Skennerton & Brian Labudda

British Commonwealth Bayonets and Fighting Knives by Ian Skennerton & Brian Labudda

Completely revised with new updates from prominent collectors in England, Australia, Canada, South Africa & New Zealand. This comprehensive study of British and related Commonwealth bayonets presents a considerable amount of hitherto unpublished material on the subject and considers the bayonet in a slightly different perspective than previous books on the subject; with a closer association to the appropriate rifle, carbine, or even pistol. In all, it is a most important and useful guide to the identification of British and Commonwealth bayonets and fighting knives.
