Help with bayonet identification please

[CiamS]

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.

Hi CiamS

i don’t think it’s British, it would have a lot more stamps for starters…

 

I’m in no way familiar with the huge variety of Bayonets however it does look like a Brazilian M1908, it could look like many others too of course 🤷‍♂️

Your best bet is to post it in the ‘swords & edged weapons’ section 👇

it may take a little while to get a reply, I don’t know how ‘busy’ it is down there but that’s the place for it.

 

In the meantime have a look at pictures of a Brazil M1908 and see if you think it matches 👍

 

cheers

tony 🍻

 

ps I always clean my stuff up 😊

Hello
As previously stated, it is a Brazilian M1908/34 bayonet, this "Z" mark means it was produced in Czechoslovakia

Thank you both so much! I appreciate both the forum guidance and the identification.
