THank you everyone, I really do like these, there's so much I'm still learning about them, and so many variants. Going to military and gun shows is like a treasure hunt, because there are always a few of the 1907s or No4s at every show, you never know what you'll find. I like the sword bayonets alot, they are so substantial, and look like a bayonet should. I wish there were more of the No5 and No7 types made, I like the knife part too, doing double duty as it were.
I want to display them on a wall, but so far haven't come up with anything better than pegboard. There's a few too many for shelves and display stands I think. I have to clean more out of that room, anyone need another old tv? lol
Rob, I looked with a magnifying glass, and it's definately a D. It looks like something is in the middle of the D, it could be a 5, but so scrubbed out I need a stronger lense to really be sure. But that's part of the fun of collecting, the mystery of pieces like this, so close, but still not sure.
