I shouldn't have to warn anyone about the dangers of handling bayonets and displaying bayonets. Please use extreme care and caution when mounting to the stand. Your scabbard should be on the bayonet when mounting. And please keep displays and stands away from the reach of children of any age.
Any helmets, flags,nameplates, scabbards, and/or Bayonets shown in the pictures ARE NOT INCLUDED.
I say this because one customer gave me a negative review and wrote " I opened the box and all I got was a bunch of wood! No bayonet! So.....
THE ONLY THING YOU ARE BUYING IS A DISPLAY STAND!
