British No.5 MkII - W.S.C.

Another W.S.C. No.5 MkI, Type II bayonet for the No.5 MkI Lee Enfield, MkI "Jungle Carbine" and the Sterling L2 submachine gun.

I bought the bayonet years ago along with this frog.
The frog from 1954 probably goes with it, because the No. 5 Mk I was in service until at least 1960.

Even as late as 1965 in the Rhodesian Army or as late as the late 1970's in the Indonesian Police until late 1970's, and carried by a Kenyan game warden in 2008.

Reibert,

Your WSCs look almost mint. Ive got one that looks similar to yours. I've always thought the stamping on the rear of the ricasso looked odd (almost cast instead of stamped) compared to the WSC marking.
