I didn't know if it were going on the USS Houston or the new USS Ft. Worth that wasn't my job they decided to present it to the Ft.Worth

Looks great. Can you show me a close of picture of the spring loaded boyonet. I've been considering adding one to a small caliber smooth bore pistol but I've been unable to find much info online.

Blackley and Son in England sells spring bayonets. Have a look there.
