    Looks like a nice blade, is it a volunteer pattern? The scabbard and frog look like they're in good nick. They might be worth more than the bayonet.

    scabbards and very worn. Great piece.........

    Thanks guys.

    This one will be up for auction on Nov 23rd.

    @ Alex: my knowledge does not really extend that far on these, so I could not tell you!

    I too was impressed with the condition of the leather. It has came from the stock of a now retired antiques dealer.

    Cheers, Ade.

    Ade,

    The volunteer ones are devoid of WD broad arrow or inspectors marks.

    as a postscript..and the chances of seeing two in one day in a scabbard..i was just at a returned services club and in a cabinet they had one with a scabbard, i couldnt believe it..the scabbard was different, it was leather but at the bottom it had metal..the top had what looked very similar to a ww1 bayonet holder..ill try and get down there again before i fly out for a while, to try and get some pics
