Hooked Quillion on Enfield Bayonet
Quote .....
1907 Pattern Bayonet with Scabbard
This bayonet was patented in 1907 (hence the title of 1907 Pattern) after a series of trials of various bayonet types. There is a clear influence upon this pattern of bayonet with regards to the Japanese Arisaka Type 30 bayonet, bearing in mind that all British made bayonets after 1913 were manufactured without the characteristic "hooked quillion". The initial production started in January 1908 and had the curved Quillion (as did the Ariska bayonet). The company "Enfield" was by far the most prolific producer of this bayonet, however a large quantity was also produced by companies - Wilkinson, Sanderson and Chapman. Examples by Vickers and Mole were also produced, however not in as great a number as the previous manufacturers and these bayonets are now becoming quite collectable.

Thanks zolder. With all those BESA ammo boxes everywhere, I usually jump to the wrong conclusion

The starter tab had taken considerable fire damage.....it won't stand going in the vinegar. Bolts I just leave for a couple of weeks. The water under the rust evaporates and 'pushes' the surface rust off. Easiest cleaning method for these
