TOPIC:

I have had this bayonet a while, just thought I would share it and ask if anyone could add any information.
I understand the markings date, testing marks etc.
I have been told that the brown leather is Naval, black leather issued to the Army, any thoughts.
There are also some markings on the frog that I am unsue of.
Any comments most welcome.

Paul

Good Morning Paul.....

I understand the markings date, testing marks etc.

You are correct with reguards to the markings...... This one was made in 1901.....

I have been told that the brown leather is Naval, black leather issued to the Army, any thoughts.

I think that you have this reversed...... Black for Navy and Brown for Army......

Hello Mike,
Brown for Army, thank you for the information.
Any thoughts on the markings on the frog?

Paul.....

The markings on the frog look to be some kind of Regimental marking, not sure which.....

Mike

That confirms my thoughts,but I am at a dead end.
