I don't like it, sorry. British bayonets have to have a crown & the year of manufacture. I also don't like the quillion. Here is one compare it

I'm almost sure it's a faked 07/13

thanks, but the other reply was,good, info.
It seems that the crown and other marks ,was removed,
this was done for export, , but did not go, out of uk,
and , in this case the marks would have been re put .back on
by the buyer of the bayonets, sanderson exported bayonets,this is why the crown is missing, but youcan just very faint ,the bottom line of the crown,
and as i said this was in a drawer, not been used, so that would explane the condition of it, not heavy pitting, as most are .

I newer heard of removing marks in UK for export. It's up to you really, but the question is: why the year of manufacture has been removed ? I'm just suspicious cos have seen faked hooked ones. Nowadays the prises for 07/13 is £70 maximum, while prices for hooked 07 can go up to £400.
