Found this in a antique shop today. Not sure what is is. Blade is 15 3/4 inch long. Scarb is leather. The handles are wood. Any idea on value? Pictures tell the rest. Thanks for looking and your help. Rog

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.

Looks to me like a WWI/early WWII 16" bayonet that fits the M1903, M1903A3, and M1 icon

rifles. I'm sure the experts here will chime in with more specific information.

Not an Expert,But looks to Me like an original 1905,for a 1903 Springfield(and later 03-A3,and Garand icon

).If that scabbard is original,it's worth a bit of money.Nice Find

Model of 1905 bayonet made by Springfield Arsenal. 1910 is date of manufacture.
The scabbard is cool because it is an original leather one modified for the newer style belt hooks.
The model 1910 scabbard was the first with those style hooks but it was covered in canvas.
Your original leather scabbard would have been "modified" circa 1910 when the newer scabbard was introduced.
I would guess a $300-$400 value.
Nice piece!
