I bought this from the States from a auction house in error. As I clicked my offer I noticed it said film prop MGM. It was not much so let the offer stand. Now I have it I find that it has been over stamped with MGM but has some other marks which I am struggling with. I have Graham Priest book "Socket Bayonets" but cant find the same in there. .


On the racasso with the blade pointing up could be GH or LH or EH

Above the elbow = 771 deeply stamped, below that a three lobed crown, below that BE


on the locking ring number 5


The mouth of the socket is a little different to what I have seen before and could not see it in Graham's book.

MGM stamp


I thought it might be a Model1873 but not sure now so any help would be welcome I am away for a few days so will not be able to answer any questions until Friday.....paul.
