I like the look of the bayonet I have an orange arsenal 44 in similar condition. Do you mind letting me know what you paid? They go for about 200-250 in Australia. Is the AUSTRALIA marking stamped over a slaz marking? Here is some info on the AUSTRALIA marking. Lawrance Ordnance - Furniture on the Lithgow Pattern 1907 Bayonet

Very Nice one.
I also have a cherry Australian 1907/42 bayonet. Mine is marked SLAZ 44 on both grips and the scabbard is a MANGROVITE'42. The only difference is that my scabbard has the tear drop shaped frog catch on it.

Most of the Brens were too nice to be chopped up and sent to the US so they ended up in the UK. Thank god!

I got it for $65, but only because it was a general auction and no militaria was advertised. A friend was there for something else and called me about it. It was well worth the 30 minute drive. Had it been advertised in a militaria auction it would have been at least double that, on ebay the price would be about what you say you can get them for. Australia is stamped clean on one side, Slaz on the other, no over-stamps.
The Lawrence ordnance site you posted is very informative.

Glad you found the site informative. I've only seen them with matching stamped furniture so it may mean a replacement. Either way you got it for a super price-well played sir.
