This is something I wouldn't normally get but due to a slight err, 'technical error' whilst reading an auction catalogue lot number I left a commission bid on the wrong bayonet and I ended up with this...
Fortunately, it was very cheap as I'd left a really low bid on the 'other item' and nobody else bid on this. Anyhow, once I got it I decided I quite like it really, it's not got it's scabbard and an some time in its history it's been sharpened but some time ago I'd guess.
It's also regimentally marked but I think part of the marking has been removed whilst the muzzle ring was ground down when it was being converted from an S71/84 to a S84/98.
