CINDERS,, thank you so much for your help, I'll have a look at the posts on how to remove rust, thought it would be around 1944, should go nicely with my 1918 lee enfield 303, but I need the bracket that holds the bayonet, and maybe a full wood stock would be nice.
Thanks for your help

old-smithy,, thanks also for your help, and thanks for the link it will come in handy, this is my first bayonet, hope to get more soon, there are plenty out there. And some really nice looking ones.
Thanks
