Indian No1 mk2 smle bayonets with "JU" marking.

**Flying10uk** · 06-05-2017 06:31 PM

I have seen it suggested that the "JU" marking found on some WW2 manufactured No1 mk2 bayonets, made in India, actually stands for Jhelum Arsenal which was part of India but is now part of Pakistan. Is anyone able to confirm this information, please?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

That is correct as far as my understanding. They are also somewhat uncommon.

These two letter markings also indicated the state of Indian State Forces according to our Indian Liaison Officer

Here it is, it's in excellent condition, probably came out of storage in India when they had a clear-out and sold off. It doesn't look issued following a refurbishment.
