Mervyn Mitton Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The markings would indicate that this is an original revolver bayonet from the 1st World War period. Many repros were made, mainly using cut down French Gras bayonets - however, these do not have ident. numbers. Value wise - you must be looking at a considerable sum - they are not common. Contact one of the main militaria auctions - for an estimate. Could you perhaps post some additional photos of the bayonet and it's scabbard.

Mervyn Mitton Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Blueman - now I am a little worried for you - this is a French Gras bayonet. Are there any markings that could indicate a number ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueman Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 hi mervyn you are quite right the blades were all made from cut down french m1874 gras bayonets...kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Really good copies go for about GBP300 sold as copies. Herman Historica had one 3 years ago for EUR800 that looked pretty original. This one looks good, but I think without comparing it to a known original... it is a very, very, very difficult call.
