We had a Company of Gurkhas in 2 PARA for a year or so, issued with said beret as well, many had done P Company but for various reasons things didn't work out, I think they had a hard job absorbing contract catering in the cookhouse:lol:

The 1907 bayonet by Mole is desirable because, as Cinders has stated, it is from one of the less prolific makers but also because the blade appears to be in reasonably good condition with not too much corrosion. The whole bayonet could be rejuvenated quite easily but I would suggest leaving it to whom you sell it to, to clean up, unless you know what you are doing. This is because more harm than good could easily be done to this item which would reduce it's value.
As a matter of interest, the 5GR badge on the scabbard is the POST 1952 version of their badge.
