The following is from the SABC website. I've been a member of this organization for years. It's a great group of friendly, knowledgable bayonet enthusiasts. The number of M9 collectors is growing every year. The organization puts out a quarterly journal that is full of informative articles on bayonet related topics. It doesn't matter if you have one bayonet or a thousand; if you have an interest in the subject you are welcomed into the group. I highly recommend joining to anyone who collects bayonets.
The Society of American Bayonet Collectors is dedicated to the study, collection and preservation of antique and modern bayonets. The scope of our activities includes all American made bayonets, including those that were produced for export, and also foreign made bayonets that were used by the United States. This also includes related accoutrements such as scabbards, frogs,belts,etc.
Membership in the society will open new channels of history and collecting to you. If you know others with similar interests please let them know about us. We firmly believe that SABC membership can be beneficial to all bayonet collectors, and particularly to those interested in American models. Arms researchers and historians should also benefit greatly. Many of our members are already internationally recognized in the arms field for books and articles they have published.
