British Wilkinson Sword Company bayonet

[Newbie]

Hey guys, I'm not a British collector, I have a chance to pick this up....I know nothing about value on this, and it appears to be foreign marked, so I'm guessing sub contracted out. Any help with value on this would be great! Sorry about photo quality,they are the sellers.

What you are showing is a British Pattern 1887 MK III . These were British surplus that ended up being sent to Nepal as surplus. Atlanta Cutlery and IMA ended up buying most everything from the hoard found at the Royal Nepalese Armory. I haven't looked for awhile, but I believe they were still selling them in the $175-$250 range. It is a very interesting story about these weapons, here is a Youtube clip if you hadn't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffzjoj45Gzc
