Jungle Carbine Bayonet

Currently listed on e-Bay, I'm thinking these are reproductions. What's you take?

Looks like the one I purchased from Sarco (cheaper than e-bay) which is " tourist" grade in my estimation.

PS : Mine is not RFI marked (no marks of any kind) but did have an India sticker on it.

It's exactly like the used repro I bought two weeks ago for $35, nice looking grips, deeply blued metal and a scabbard without the throat.

Not real disapointed as I did not expect/pay much. The search for a real one not requiring an arm,leg or both continues.

Hard to see in the pic but looks like no oil hole (clearing hole), Old Smithy states on his excellent web site that the repro,s dont have the hole.

Should also add that the seller has 3 of these available. No where does he state they might be reproduction. Passing off fakes as real? You be the judge.
