Re: Hello i am new to bayonet collecting .
Condition, condition, condition.
"Been there, done that" condition doesn't add value. Neither does stories unless they have concrete provenance.
Buy the best condition ones you can find, and matching numbers. Try and upgrade your examples until you have the best ones possible.
Don't be afraid to sell lesser ones to upgrade others. You are collecting, not accumulating. It's not about quantity, it's quality.
Just my own personal opinions.
