Good evening all. I recently picked up an FN FAL Type B Bayonet and was hoping someone could help me identify which country or contract (trial) it was produced for.
I was hoping it was a T48 one but it has no markings at all.
It also has a scabbard with a side standoff and US M1910 wire hangers.
I exchanged emails with Jim / browningautorifleand we aren't really further ahead on figuring out who it was made for.
I believe it was for some sort of trial that didn't go far as having a bayonet hanging from a belt in this configuration would be a pain (literally) if you rolled on it and feel it would be riding high and flopping around a lot.
I know thaht there are a few other threads on the forum on the FN FAL bayonet variants but none had the answers I was hoping for and most are quite old.
Thoughts anyone?
Also, yes I noticed that someone has tried to sharpen it (which was why I was figuring US T48 because Canadians, Brits and Aussies weren't sharpening our bayonets at that time) but the shapening was probably done by a later owner with bad habits.Information
