i think it's a German 1st world war sawback butcher blade bayonet, is it a 14.5" blade ? or it may be a Martini Henry P1875 Sawback Bayonet

Hi SVT,thanks for the quick reply.I think the blade is around 18 inches.Il do some research on both your sugestions
cheers

Thanks SVT you were spot on with the Martini Henry 1875 sawback sword, it appears its a Mk1 trials version that was never adopted for general army issue
cheers

The blade is German made but is the bayonet is an UK 1875 model
mant of these were made for volunteer units (similar to US national guard) and show no military acceptance markings .
