I was guessing it was from the WW2 era. I also guessed that it wasn't American because it seems much too long to be American. I am guessing its around 18 inches long, I will measure it tomorrow. | |

Looks like mauser or maybe WWI American (1917?). The barrel ring looks bent, should be perpendicular to blade.

It has the same attachment arangement and grips as my Mauser bayonet but it is the length of an American 1917 or an Enfield carbine bayonet.
I concur with Robocop that the barrel ring is bent. | |

Enfield. I'm pretty sure No. 1, Mk III., .303 British. Will also fit the
Ishapore No. 1 Mk. III 2A 7.62x51, but isn't the correct length.
Long word starting with W might be Wilkerson? Wilkinson? something like that! | |

I couldn't download all the pictures and those I did where a bit fuzzy, the French land line conection out here is a bit weather dependant. I thought i saw a British War office mark and from my limited view It was my opinion it might be a British M1907 bayonet for the Lee Enfield Mk 111 (SMLE). | |

Your bayonet is a British Pattern 1907 for the .303 caliber Lee-Enfield No. I Mk. III rifle. This example was made in February 1944 at the Orange Arsenal in Australia. The scabbard was made by a private contractor in Australia, Mangrovite Belting Pty. Ltd. The X is the bend test mark, indicating that the blade steel met specs. for tempering. The crosspiece is bent, but can probably be straightened with care. Otherwise it looks to be in great shape. Australian P1907 bayonets are worth about twice what a British one brings, so congrats on a nice P1907 bayonet. __________________ worldbayonets.com | Bayonet Collector's Network (BCN) | Life Member NRA | C & R 03 FFL
