There are many more excellent books available, covering every conceivable collecting specialty. These books happen to be what I have accumulated over the years. Check back, as I frequently add new books to my library. Many of these books are out of print and command very high prices on the used market. I have included some relevant commentary regarding books that merit special mention or to point out books that represent especially good values to the collector. The BCN and/or SABC logo adjacent to the author’s name identifies the author as a BCN and/or SABC member, illustrating how much these organizations contribute to advancing the body of knowledge on the bayonet. Become a member of the SABC and enhance your collecting experience through association with other knowledgeable collectors!

  A note of personal privilege regarding Anthony Carter. Anthony Carter was one of the most prolific authors of bayonet books, one of the leading bayonet experts in Britain, and a very generous contributor to the BCN until his untimely passing in 2002. All of his books are first-rate, but today, command high prices. I am fortunate to have the six volumes above in my reference library, three of which are signed. He is sorely missed by the bayonet collecting community.

Well known writer, John Walter, took Anthony Carter's 2001 first volume covering maker names A-L, expanded it and completed the remainder of the alphabet. The first volume has been coveted and unobtainable for many years, so get this one while it lasts.

  Sadly, Gary passed away in 2017. Gary's books and Bayonet Points articles represent a significant portion of what is known about 20th Century U.S. bayonets. Through the Web and his economically-priced books, he made the fruits of his research accessible to the broader collecting community. It was a privilige to collaborate with him in a small way on his final book.

  Sadly, Roger passed away in 2016. His passing was a huge loss for the bayonet collecting community.
