Anyone knows what gun is this bayonet for?
http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/Bayonet/ Also, there is some sort of etching on the rear of the handle, covered by rust. Is there some way to clean off rust without destroying etching? -- Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating from Google Groups.

Just in case. Depending on condition it could be worth $100 or so. Also, does it need to be wet sharpened or a regular bench grinder is OK? I think they can be sharpened quite well with a fine single-cut file, drawn lengthwise. |

Too thick to cut with, too long to keep in control, too heavy to pack around all the time, and not strong enough to make a decent pry bar.

Wes Pretty well. Needs to have the hard plates in the armor for it to have a decent stop on pointy objects. Saw a video many years back. DeSantis, IIRC. Room full of cops. Guy laid their entire soft armor collection over a block of putty, all the while, giving the patter about each level of protection. Then he say's "If you were wearing ALL of these, you'd be pretty much invincible if you walked into an alley, right?" While the cops in the front row are all nodding their heads, the guy pulled a knife out from behind his back, and thunked it through the whole stack. Some pretty wide eyes in the front coupla rows, in the video! Pointed bullets and pointed or cutting objects will either part or cut the aramid materials of the soft armor. Cheers Trevor Jones |

They met often and became friendly, but Gavin reported that he was the only person who could be around Zhukov without fearing for his life. |

Was Zhukov so Terrible, or people around to easy to be scared or may be Gavin was megalomaniac? |

Was Zhukov so Terrible, or people around to easy to be scared or may be Gavin was megalomaniac? the russian military had little regard for individual soldiers lives. one could be executed, purged etc for simply being in view when a superior woke up with a hangover. Unless you had what is called a "rabbi' in western terms...or were of equivelent rank or otherwise protected in some fashion...there was no safety for you. Gavin was protected because he was both an equal and a representative of an ally govenment. You are aware of why KGB troops trailed behind regular russian troops are you not? They usually were a heavy machine gun organization and their job was to shoot any Russian soldier or soldier(s) who didnt give their all in a charge, or even hesitated, let along started to fall back. The movie Enemy at the Gates showed this rather well.

What does this tell us? It wasn't so obvious which side was which. If you knew a little about shaped charges the concave side made sense outward. |

If you knew a little about shaped charges the concave side made sense outward. in the dark...putting out a Claymore...leave the clacker unhooked, but string out the wire behind you as a way to find your way back to your hole. unfold the legs, and hold the claymore against your chest. if it rocked..that was the Bad Side. If it fit the curve of your chest, it was the Good Side..make sure the Bad side stayed pointed away when you stabbed the legs into the ground. It should be noted that the Good Side is nearly as deadly as the Bad Side, if placed too close to your hole when you squeeze the clacker.
