I was going through my bayonet collection a couple of weeks ago and found two rare bayonets.
The first is a No 8, plate B300 (page #255) found in "Britishicon & Commonwealth Bayonets" by Ian Skennertonicon. It is in VG to Exc condition and was manufactured for the 7.92mm, S.L.E.M. (Self-loading Experimental Model) with the manufacturers mark S.M.T. inside a diamond on the Pommel.
Only 2,400 were manufactured. It looks like a No 5 bayonet with an 8" Bowie blade and similar grips but the crosspiece has a smaller muzzle ring.

The second is the 1st Type .280 EM1/EM2 Prototype Bayonet in VG condition also found in "British & Commonwealth Bayonets" by Ian Skennerton, plate B305 (page #247-251).
It looks exactly like a No 7 bayonet with a smaller crossguard but smaller muzzle ring.
Bought a new Savage No4 Mk1* with this bayonet attached and I didn't ralize what it was until a few years later.

Any idea what these could be worth?
