Back in New Zealand I trained on the SLR (FN-FAL). The only time we used a bayonet was in ceremonial parades for the color guard.

That said, the bayonet, to me, is a traditional symbol of the infantry so I would be proud to wear one as a kilt pin. After all, how many sword kilt pins are sold now? Thousands?

As to size and cost - my sword kilt pin is 3 1/2 inches long. I would be happy to pay in the range of $20 - 30 for a bayonet pin. Don't overlook the fact that the Kiwis, Australians, Israelis, many South American and other Commonwealth nations used the SLR, so the market might be bigger than you think.
