Help wanted to identify this 1907

[shippingsteel]

Looks to be an original No.1 bayonet that has been converted into the profile of a No.5 (the 8 inch blade and the bowie style tip is pure No.5), probably a WW2 era conversion.
Could be an early British experimental/trials bayonet in the No.5 style, or one of the many shortened Indian conversions which they liked to do on the good old No.1 bayonet.
Skennerton does have an Indian version listed as I57 which has had the MRD slightly enlarged to 17mm, don't ask me why. Its an unusual one. Cheers.
