New One For Me...???

[Geoff Ward]

I just got some photos from a gentleman of a bayonet I am unfamiliar with. Although I have see this style of bayonet I have not seen this type of scabbard it appears to be made of wood with a stitched leather or fabric cover?? Any Help or opinions welcome,

Regards, Geoff

After some digging I believe it is a British M 1876 with Broad arrow over WD, Crown Stamp over partial stamp E or F and on the socket crook serial possible/partial(3) 11186.1
Any thoughts or info I know they were used by other countries as well. Has anyone seen this type of scabbard?

Thanks, G.

From proof it should be british, the serial number looks high, the scabbard could lost the brass or steel fittings.
