I am especially interested bayonets, and particularly in socket bayonets, which I have been collecting for the last ten or eleven years or so. Japanese weapons and armour are also another area of great interest to me, though I no longer collect them.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I am a professional metalworker and get great satisfaction in restoring antiques and weapons.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Hopefully, I may be able to contribute something useful at some point, until then I am just happy to read and learn.......</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Russ <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
