Owen Bayonet

I've been studying and collecting bayonets for 49 years. I've learned a few things along the way, one of the most important being that just because I haven't seen something before it doesn't mean it's incorrect. Don't be so quick to dismiss or put down something that you don't have any knowledge of.

The cut down P1907 with the funky tip is not one of a kind. There have been a number of these floating around over the years. Kiesling shows an example in his book and he identifies it as South African, but many question the validity of that identification. But the fact of the matter is that these exist, they are all very similar in design, and they are not something that someone made when they had a mishap with a grinder. Please educate yourself or ask for advise from others before making statements that others might take as factual.
