1950's FN FAL bayonets

[Peter Laidler]

For many years I have had a 1950's FN FAL bayonet used in the British acceptance trials of the FN..., which became the L1A1.

It has the letters X2 E1 and serial number 3885 engraved on the steel between the wood grips and the scabbard hs X1E1 engraved on the top of the mouthpiece.

Can anyone tell me anything about these bayonets, such as what was the X1 version and were there any other variants?

Thanks.................
