JRB&M DAGGER STORAGE BAGS

JRB&M began using fabric zipper storage bags years before any of our competitors. As a matter of fact Tom Johnson furnished the original detailed blue prints for three different size dagger bags to the largest manufacturer of fabric pistol bags in the U.S. in exchange for an exclusive dealership which they honored for a number of years. We not only sell these bags for a very nominal amount but also give a gratis bag for each dagger and bayonet that we sell. As noted, we started this practice several years ago, and at last count, we had sold and given away over 10,000 fabric zipper bags. Today, it seems like every dagger dealer is also offering similar (or even identical) fabric bags. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but we sometimes wonder. Actually, it's a good thing that fellow dealers followed suit, as the fabric bags provide great protection for both storage and shipping. We keep each of the hundreds of daggers and bayonets in our inventory in these bags and have done so for years.

Sizes and prices:

12" length (HJ, Gravity knives)
Fabric - Special! $6.@
18" length (Army, 2nd Model Luftwaffe, Navy daggers)
Fabric - Special! $8.@
21" length (1st model Luftwaffe, Hunting daggers)
Leather (Suede) $15.@
Fabric - Special! $10.@

Compare our nominal JRB&M prices to other offerings for similar and identical dagger bags!
