This is an extremely early and rare 1907 Enfield Bayonet made in in early years.  Due to Pre-WW1 and WW1 years - demand for the 1907 Bayonets was so great that stamping were light and sometimes over stamped.  This is one such sample.  It appears that the date is 10? 18 - which would be Oct of 1918. It is only the fourth one I have seem in my collecting years that was an early

An extremely collectable WWI  1907 Enfield BAYONET  -
Judge by your standards - This is a much nicer condition WWI  Enfield than normally  encountered despite it being a  early made bayonet set.. Great Collectable.  .  This is a Bayonet  - that any collector would be proud to own and display. This is history - for display or/ and investment for the future. Please look closely a the pictures of this bayonet set - this is a very nice collector's set. Very minor  slight dis-coloration.  see pictures - would be very easy to polish out, but prefer to leave original. It is getting hard to find nice 1907 Enfield Bayonets and the early ones like this one are extremely hard to find.  This is out of my personal collection and I am only selling them because of age and retirement.
The scabbard  has the OVAL frog button that was used on WWI  scabbards - so it is correct for the bayonet.  This bayonet was obtained many years ago from a WW11 military arsenal so it being used as a WWII Bayonet set also is very probable saw action in both WW1 and WW11 and also various other encounters by the British Army.
These Bayonets made history in two World Wars and countless worldwide small incidents. I wish I knew more about the various proofs - a person could do some research and establish more of its history. AN ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION!
The 1907  Enfield
British bayonets and scabbards  were used by England Canada and Australia in both WW1 and WW11.

l
ease see the pictures for unique and exact markings on the blade - a historic collectable for display, re-enactment or simply an investment. The blade is 17 inches long and the overall 22 inches long - a very serious fighting instrument. This fits all British mk 111 rifles used in both wars. It will not fit the later number 4 rifles. This is a bayonet
THAT IS
OVER
100 YEARS OLD
-and good for age and history- pictures will better show condition. In addition - it is a well marked with proofs bayonet. It goes nicely on my mark 111 rifle.
It is not an cheap India made bayonet or a junk fake copy.
. It probably saw service in WW11. I say that because a collector informed me that the
British Army used MK111s rifles extensively
with the model 1907 bayonet . - see pictures. If it could only talk. Great for displaying with rifle, by itself , re-enacting or simply collecting. Note pictures of markings on the bayonet - I'm sure they probably mean more to you than me.
Note:
The blade has not been sharpened since leaving the Gov't Arsenal.
The blade
NO
bends or cracks.
