PmMeYourCats Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Got this with the butcher blade I've just posted. It's a 1907 SMLE bayonet double marked with wilkinson sword and Pall Mall which as far as I've been reading means it was made 1917/1918 when WK took over production from Pall Mall. It has a Grovite42 scabbard and SLAZ42 grips. Meaning that it may be a WW2 Australian reissue for the Second World War as they were still using the short magazine Lee Enfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogfiller Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 nice one Bryan. Can you supply an image of the markings on the crossguard. It may reveal more. Are there any pommel markings? The scabbard maker is MANGROVITE, an Australian producer. Wilkinson, Pall Mall is simply their address at the time. What is the issue date on the ricasso? Again, it will reveal more information. The SLAZ (Slazenger) '42 dates on the grips would indicate it was refurbished in WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
