CiamS Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 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 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flávio P.Z.Peixoto Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Hello As previously stated, it is a Brazilian M1908/34 bayonet, this "Z" mark means it was produced in Czechoslovakia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
