STOCK# Description
Order #BOA eBook on CD-ROM entitled "Bayonets of
Afghanistan" ©2006 Created and published by yours truly, Dennis D.
Ottobre. PICTURE The first book
published on the subject of Afghan bayonets. Includes hundreds of
detailed color photos with the option to view larger more detailed images of
many pieces depicted. Covers a total of 88 bayonet variants from
Afghanistan including a section devoted to spotting fake and fantasy pieces
being sold as genuine items on the current collector's market. Dozens of
the variants listed have never previously been published. Includes a
numerical reference system for quick referencing and is formatted to be more
printer friendly for those who would like to make a hard copy for their own
use. As with my previous eBook "Observations On Turkish
Bayonets" I have left room for expansion and I keep a list of updates
posted here so you can see if you might want to upgrade to a newer version in
the future. LAST UPDATE FEBRUARY 2011 Click here for a chronological
list of materially significant updates.

There have been a few cases where some MACs could not use the links in the CD and no one can seem to tell me why it works on some but not others. Because of this I am not able to guarantee that it will work properly on MACs)

Order #OTB eBook on CD-ROM entitled "Observations On Turkish Bayonets" ©2002 Created and published by yours truly, Dennis D. Ottobre. PICTURE The first and only organized serious treatment published on the subject of Turkish bayonets. Includes color photos and my own observations on Turkish bayonets. 592 variants are currently included and many variants have never previously been published in any other books. Includes a numerical reference system for quick referencing. Several sections are also formatted to be more printer friendly for those who would like to make a hard copy for their own use. Base models of foreign bayonets modified by Turkey are also included. The section on German ersatz bayonets will be of particular interest to collectors interested in them from a German perspective as well as the Turkish collector. I have uncovered several GERMAN models that were not addressed by Carter in "German Ersatz Bayonets" and I provide a conversion table for his "EB" Reference numbers.

"U.S. Bayonet Letters Patent" by noted author of
Knife oriented works Frank Trzaska may be purchased directly from
his web page at http://www.usmilitaryknives.com/
. This CD-ROM contains over 600 pages worth of original US bayonet
patents. Frank's exhaustive research in this area has yielded an
excellent "SOURCE DATA" work seldom available to the bayonet
collector or researcher. You can spend 20 years digging through musty old
archives at the patent office like Frank did or you can get the full benefit of
his research for under $20 by ordering this work directly from him. Frank
also has many other blade oriented materials available on his web page and I
recommend him to all my clients as a source for this type of literature.
