The article is actually good. It does not contain new information, but it did well on introducing the gun to general C&R fans. Not very comfortable on seeing the article mixing pre-WWII production with post-1980 stuffs, but that style does cover a broader domain.

He mentioned the $3000 bolo was a super nice one from South Africa in unfired condition (or, fired very little). It was probably not acquired from Sarco. Those mint 1930 or Bolo printed on the cover of "Modern Gun Values" of mid 1980 were listed around $1000 (gun only). Probably he did not see one in LGS.... in that era, he had to physically run around to find something.

Internet influence is everywhere; web sites abound with false or misleading information...[especially Wikipedia!]...

I followed a link from Lugerman's site to a bayonet site; interesting but when I browsed US M16 prototype bayonets, information was wrong/misleading/incomplete...

I am not an expert on anything, but I know a little about things I am interested in...Information from books, personal observation, museums, private collections...

Now, no one investigates themselves; they just copy others' posted online 'facts'...

Bah...
