While perusing at my favorite local antique store this weekend I came across this No9Mk1 bayonet. Two things caught my attention on this bayonet. First, it was British manufactured and not Pakistani (most what we find in the Pacific Northwest). And 'B', it had a scabbard! Never seen a No9 with a scabbard out here. The blade was well covered in a greasy preservative much like axle grease and the outside had a harder sticky preservative much like a thin layer of cosmoline. There is no wear on the finish, almost like it was never issued. Enfield stamp and dated 1954. Well, it followed me home and here's some pictures.
