Steve campbell Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 A friend gave me this today. I'm pretty sure it's a bayonet from a Lee Enfield or a British rifle, probably from WW2. The blade is 12 inches long. The blade is stamped "Wilkinson" at the hilt. The picture isn't great but I feel this is an easy one to identify. The handle is wood with brass fittings. There are no other markings on the blade. Am I right on my ID of this bayonet? Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Its a Lee Metford bayonet from the Boer war WW1 era. If you dont need it, drop me a PM, I have a small side cllection of them :-)Usually there is a unit stamped under the press stud.BestChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve campbell Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Thanks Chris. I would consider it but a friend gave it to me and he had it for almost 30 years. Any item that was a gift from a friend I keep. I may start to make a little side collection myself. Thanks for the information. I posted on another forum and 2 other people have also said that's what this was. Appreciate the information. If you know anything about artillery pieces check this out.http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
