Thnx! The shorts will have to wait, I am still figuring out how I want to present them and need some material too.

@PreservingTheHistory Okay take your time I'll be waiting.

I did as my client requested

And just for the record, if you watched the entire video you could notice that this bayonet wasn't blued, and if it was it is nearly impossible to get it off with the tools I'm using. Also this hand of time you talked about, this bayonet was still in perfect condition a year ago but because the client moved to a new home she left it in a closet in her shed outside so it went from good to bad in just one year time. And a friendly tip, I use Cold Bluing which you can take off again using only 0000 very fine wool.

Thnx!

Thnx!, the items showed in my video's aren't mine. I do al lot of work for fellow collectors. My own collection was already preserved long before I decided to start a KZbin channel 😂. But I'm thinking about creating shorts where I show them. All my bayonets come from militairy fairs across The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

@PreservingTheHistory Nice , I would love to see them

It's on my letter to Santa 😊

Thank you!

Thank you for your comment but I have to disagree on this one. Yes it is a location (railway bridge) but it is not the official name of the factory nor the rifle and bayonet itself. It is therefor a nickname for the rifle/bayonet referring to the bridge near the factory. You should rather expect them to place their own manufacturers name AI (like they uses on their bullet casings) or Artillerie Inrichtingen like many other manufacturers like WKC or Waffenfabrik Neuhausen or even the name of the designer like (Alfred von) Kropatschek.

@PreservingTheHistory Still, it is not a nickname but rather a Trademark. They also made lathes and other machinery. I lived about 1 click from the Hembrug. Had familie werking there and had the pleasure of restoring and shooting the Hembrug Carbine as well as the rifle . They took the Mannlicher license and ran with it. It actually handles quite well. So no. Not a nickname. Ask any "Zaankanter" or anyone whom worked there. 😉

@@motorinstructeur Then it was my mistake to call it a nickname. Trademark it is then. As you might guess I'm not English I'm just as a kaaskop as you are ;) only from a different part of the country with more family ties to the bombardment of Rotterdam ;)

@PreservingTheHistory I'm from Rotjeknor as well. Mother got bombed out of Rotterdam in May 1940. (Lange toren straat) I wound up in Zaanstad in the 90's but live in Germany now. A stones throw from the Siegfried Line🤣

@@motorinstructeur nice! well I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video. Next week another video! no spoilers 😉

Thank you! It is really what the collectors wish is. Personally I dont mind, Cold Bluing comes off just as easy as you put it on with 0000 wool. If you decide to sell at some point you can take the bluing off.

You make a good point

@@PreservingTheHistory I've cleaned mine yesterday and I would be happy to send you photos of before, during an after. It cleaned up quite nicely

@@TheSkyer i'm happy to see them! I just dont know how you could sent those to me? I'm rather new to KZbin haha. I dont suppose you can see my contact info in my channel? I rather not post it in a public message here.

I have considered that many times but the thing is, I sit in my attic mancave with no doors and I have a noisy home. So unless you want to hear my wife chatting on the phone or enjoying every episode of Friends on the background I see no other way haha. And no sound at all is so...silent :)

Yes it had a nasty repair in the past so it seems. Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you for pointing it out, it is obvious i'm not spanish ;) I had it right in the thumbnail and thanks to you I corrected the title, but the subs I cannot change without removing this video. I hope people will understand it is about the bayonet and not about a steep descent.

@@PreservingTheHistory . Well I was once in Spain in the Pyrenees, and there was this road going down the hills. The bicycle lost the brakes and boy oh boy what a bajoneta that was. Funny thing was all the basque had been warning us that there was a bajoneta coming up....

@@tatumergo3931 Well then it is time to end this conversation before we go in an even further bajoneta ;)

Thank you

Ah, I was wondering if there was a correct side :) Fixed it right away, thnx!

Tout à fait juste... mais il faut être Français et/ou collectionneur pour le savoir. Pour le reste, c'est une Gras en très bel état comme on en voit de moins en moins souvent, même si ça reste une arme courante. Par exemple, j'en ai encore vu trois la semaine dernière lors d'une brocante, dont une seule était vraiment belle

Now you mention it, you are right. This is not my bayonet but I do have a nice one too and in its original length for the French army, instead Argentina Export. Thank you, I will let the owner know.

Most bayonets in my videos are not mine, I do a lot of work for other collectors. I did mine long before I decided to make videos. But a big fair is coming up in October so who knows ;) I will also make a showcase video in a little while when I decide how I want to show them.

Thank you for your honest reply, I will try better next time.

@@PreservingTheHistory looking forward to it

Great suggestion! My videos are more of a DIY, not only entertainment. The more work the longer the video will be, but I will try to shorten them where I can.
