A fake I'm afraid Al. These same photos were used on another forum recently and reiieved an unanimous thumbs down.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Hi Al, the pics are poor but I don't like it.
The end of the to hilt the bayonet is certainly different to what I have seen on an accepted original.
Cheers, Ade.

I'm not liking it, Al. It might be just me, but the "75" doesn't look right-the "5" in particular looks "fat" on the curl. Maybe some better pics would be a help on this one. When you're dealing with one of these, it's always best to be cautious. William

There are several things wrong compared to accepted original badges by JFS. The '75' numbers are different, the bayonet hilt - as Ade points out, the trimming outline, the rivets and the hinge is wrong to name just a few.

The hilt looks more like what you see on the 25 and 50's. William
