i have a very old bayonet that i believe came from a 1903 Enfield rifle.
it has a few unique markings that i am unsure of
on one side of the blade at the base there is a "X" marking that i believe is the mark that is put on the blade when tested at a factory.
on the base of the handle on the same side are the markings "665" "7-7-5" "623"
the 775 an 623 have lines scratched through them
on the reverse side of the bayonet the base of the blade has the fallowing markings
"11" is the most prominent marking
"91"
"98"
"87"
"99"
below these markings still on the base of the blade there are a few markings that i cannot make out that appear to be words. i can see atleast one letter that is a "V"
on the tang of the blade that is between the 2 peices of wood that form the handle there are the fallowing markings.
"C"
on the opposite side are the markings
"3R"
"12"
"Z"
if anyone has any information on this i am very curious about the markings.
or if you would like to buy this feel free to make me an offer on this unique piece of history that is well over 100 years old and has likely seen the battlefield!
maybe trade for .45acp ammo? or nice .270 ammo, or 20 gauge slugs/ buckshot
shoot me an offer via PM or text/call
