Anybody out there that has an Owen bayonet in their collection, could you please let me know what markings are on it. I'm guessing the Commonwealth system would see it with a type or pattern marking, year of make, place of make, bend test marking and acceptence/ proof marks.

These bayonets were made from cut-down P07 bayonets and new-made to the '07 pattern, only with a ten inch blade and a 5 1/2" fuller. I've read the Owen was set up the same as the No1 MkIII* LE as far as position and design of the mounts. Apparently the bayonets became known as multi purpose and were issued to rifles in Korea.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have one on the way which may or may not "fit the mould". Just after an idea as to if they were all identical or not.
