Nice bayonet. I just picked up my first hooked quillon this week, a Q^P. By the way Simon Lawrence has one on his website numbered NSW 591 Lawrance Ordnance - Wilkinson Sword Co. April 1909 Pattern 1907 Bayonet

Thanks for the link...well it was the earliest till that link lol...ill have to settle for second...ive seen a 2 number WA...but in 40 years no 3 number NSW..so i might try and get that one
There's just Something about these huge old hunks of steel 1907's that really grabs the imagination. No ornamental belt hanger there-these things went to War and did Damage! Holding one is like having some sort of old pirate's cutlass in your grip. Excellent find!

Most jeouse and a most extreme rarity, bet you paid big bucks for this one?
It was free Rene....i also called about that other one in the link...we had a good chat about our mutual collections..hes had that 3 number one for years...i agree wagriff..they are just an industrial eye to eye killing impliment
Free?? I think I just heard Rene hitting the floor...

Free? I hope the other person didn't die as a result of that steal. How did your chat with Simon go? Don't suppose he's willing to sell. His is a wonderful example with matching numbered scabbard. If it was for sale I imagine he would want your first born son. Do you have a Q or QLD marked one? If so I'd love to see it.
