    Hi theholeinthedonut,
    no, it's marked "V P CO".
    All the other M8A1 scabbards I have are marked "PWH".

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Have you found out anything about the production dates? Apparently only BM. Co. marked ones are from WWII. I also have an "PWH" and I'm looking for an B.M. C.o. or an M8.

    You're right.
    Just for your info, I bought a M8 scabbard at ebay but its canvas part is very dirty and broken, maybe it is not worth for collection purposes.

    Thank you for the replies above. My M3 Camillus came in a BM.Co M8 scabbard.

    Keep away from the Colt M9. It's made in China. Ontario do a nice M9. I imported one from the USAicon last year. PM me if you want the dealer. They sell for £175 in UKicon. Got one duty paid from the USA for about £114.00. Rather than buy fakes or old worn out bayonets. It's sometimes better to buy new from the manufacturers and it saves all the leg work. Ontario and Eickhorn still make new bayonets. John Nowill make the current issue Royal Marine Commando knife.

    Thank you for you good advises, LesterH.

    Unfortunatly due to the severe deregulations and laws in Italyicon, bayonets are still considered to be arms as they were fire arms.
    I can't import any bayonet from abroad, it is forbidden by the law, so I must be happy with all I can find here. Every bayonet I buy must be completed with origin documentation stating its legal origin otherway Police would never authorize me to keep it.

    For sure I will keep the original wooden grips !
    Bizio, why would you want to replace the wooden grips with plastic? If the wooden grips were in good repair, the US Army left them in place through WW2 unless the blade was shortened to the later M1icon configuration or the bayonet was reworked to repair serious damage that took the bayonet out of service. Yours never went through this indignity in service and it would be a shame not to leave it as found to preserve it's history. As I said, the wooden grips stayed in service with the Army, Marines and/or Navy for as long as the bayonet was in good shape for service, not all were replaced.
