I was gifted a lovely bayonet for a (cough) milestone birthday this year. Had a lot of rust and initially I didn’t think there were any marks at all but after a small effort at rust removal (and reading on this site I realize I may have erred a bit in that regard - yikes) I can see the same mark in three locations. The only information I can find seems to indicate a royal navy stamp perhaps, but I’d expect other marks if that were true so I’m pretty doubtful. I’m posting in this section as a best guess.
I’d be grateful for any suggestions or thoughts.
Total length: 16 5/8 inches
Blade length: 11 3/4 inches
Thanks so much.
