    Another 1888, but not sure on the marking..

    In the Discussion thread I mentioned the War and Peace show, weather wise couldn't ask for a better day, had just under 5 hours browsing the trade stands was hoping to get back to see the vehicles but too much on this weekend, plus the cost of travel....

    Didn't see that much looked at many bayonets as I,m looking at branching out, a few caught my eye that needed some work including realy nice Japaneseicon one, blade was excellent but the rest needed some TLC....

    In the end settled for a reasonable (but been cleaned) 1888, unit marked NR which I thought it was Norfolk Regiment or Northamptonshire Regiment, but looking at my list Norfolk was NK, and Northamptonshire was NN.....

    Anybody any Ideas ? Pics below (dont take any notice of the price on the blade it was nearly half of that.)
