Anything later than 1965?

I have seen a couple of 66 dated ones lately at gunshows, but no later ones. So for now earliest one is 1956 and latest one is 1966.

yaah!

I now have a 1956 C1 bayo!!

I have 2 C1 bayonets, 1958 and a chromed 1963 one is in a 51 pattern frog the other in and 82 pattern frog. So nothing unusual.

At age 16 many moons ago I bought a 1907 Pattern bayonet Wilikinson made and Cdn proofed. (C with broad arrow) It cost $1.95! it is gone and I have no idea what happened to it.

For general interest, the numbers shown on your bayonet "150 3900" is a portion of the NATO stock number for this item. If you add the stock class 1005 (small arms and parts) and the old Cdn country identifier code (21) you will get 1005-21-150-3900, which is the number you would order to get a bayonet.

Some useless trivia for those who care about such things.

nice bit of info, i had assumed it was a stock number confirmation always helps
