<p>[QUOTE="Firemandk, post: 591504, member: 7258"]There is always the chance this is a Hollywood movie prop: a marriage of an old bayonet blade in a recast handle meant to look like something else for the movies . a bunch of years back there were thousands of old Hollywood costumes on fleabay and antique shows.... I think one of the studios cleaned house ... even a couple of years ago in San Jose I picked up a couple of real Philippine American era shoulder bags( converted 1878 ? pattern I think) that had a studio marking..... Lot's of "period" war movies back into the silent era , and they had to "arm" those armies with something , not always wooden swords.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
