M1907 Hooked Quillon - which unit?

[Peter Laidler]

Sorry to be a tad contrary but the Equipment regulations from 1900 to 1944, when the practice was officially abandoned, clearly states that the Durham Light Infantry marking for equipment. arms and appurtenances was DLI. However, DM was used to indicate Durham School - which is probably why it remained unmodified for so long!

All of these identifiable markings plus zillions more are all detailed in a little booklet, taken straight from the Equipment Regulations, available from Brian at BDL Ltd. If it ain't in there, then it ain't from Britain!
