thanks for the email cluing me in. But shipping + tax is a deal breaker for me.
|
|
Glad I got one when I did. I picked one up last year from Midway on clearance for $35.
|
|
Quit w/ the Swiss stuff. You've already cost me money w/ the antique. Knock it off. Unless - you have a scope mount...?
|

I do not consider that price to be out of hand for a nice piece of Swiss metalwork, especially in that condition. I have a couple of K31's in good enough shape to wear one of those.

View Quote Agreed, they've been around that price for quite a few years. Maybe not select grade ones but in general. |

Eh, what the hell, I was going to order a couple of boxes of Prvi 9mm, so I added a bayo while I was at it. It'll look nice on my K11.

Got mine today. It's in great shape, but not unissued, as it has been serialed.
It's a 1950 or later Victorinox (Elsener Schwyr Victoria). |

Dangit why did I keep telling myself to wait till tonite to order...damn work.... :(

I've been out of town !! But have heard it was delivered .."............ I'll post a pic and a number when I open it up!!!,

Luckily I got a matching numbers bayo when I got my K31 a few years back. I bought the Schmidt rifle not too long ago, but I don't think I need a bayo for it.
They seem to be damn fine pieces of steel. |
|
Those look like some beautiful pieces of steel. Wish I hadn't waited to order one Oh well...I felt bad, so I picked up another rifle instead. My Schmidt-Rubin 1911 long rifle should be here next week.

Just paid that same price on Gunbroker. Can't wait for it to come!
|
|
Thanks for the heads up, ordered one yesterday to go on my Beech wood stocker. They look extremely well crafted for sure......

Midway has 1889 and 1918 ( K31 bayo like pics above ) clearance for $45.
VERYGOOD deal for 1889 bayo which would be more correct for 1889 / 1911 and 96/11 SR's swiss bayos |
|
Thank you so much for the heads up. I missed AIM's offering I did not miss this one. Got one of both even though I only have a K31 at the moment. People, that's $45 each with scabbard and free shipping.

Is it common for the maker's mark to be worn off on a select grade bayonet? I picked up a Elsener Schwyr Victoria from AIM and the mark is about 50% worn off.

So is the 1918 model the K31 bayonet, and the 1889 model is the 1911 & earlier models bayonet?

The 1918 was, as you might guess, originally introduced for use on the K11, but it was carried over to be used on the K31 as well. The 1918 bayonet is really the "Karabiner" (carbine) bayonet, and the 1889 is the "Gewehr" (rifle) bayonet. |

My 1911 Gewehr should be arriving any day now to keep my K31 and K11 company. Looks like now I need bayonets. |

Can anyone else comment on the condition of the maker's marks on theirs? |

Mine are pretty darn clear, but I suppose broken stamps/poorly struck markings do happen.

Ordered some to complete some of my rifles. Two 1889's bayonets (one for my 96/11 and 1911) and a 1918 to go on a future K11 I hope to add at some point. These Swiss are addicting Started with just one K31 but once you have one in Beech you have to have one in Walnut...right? Now they've multiplied into a family of them |
