The bayonet is ok, it could it was reworked in late of war, the grips are from 1943/4 period, the finish looks nice, but could be postwar too. is hard to say, by early 1941 piece should be the grips serialed to tang . best regards,Andy

Hi Andy,

I've took pictures of all of the markings on the bayonet. Hopefully this should clear it up either way!

Kind Regards,
Lee

Hi! This one looks reworked, observe the pommel WaAs and rust signs cowered by new oxide, I think!

When you say reworked, does that mean it's an original bayonet that has been restored?

Cheers,
Lee

Yes, that`s right, reworked is means restored and you can see it, if you collate with another pommel where the WaA stamps are in good condition.

Ok, so that's not the end of the world is it? I can cope with reworked... it's that other 'R' word I can't stand.... urgh, I can hardly bring myself to say it... replica!!!
