Is this the best source for finding out about unit markings on 1907 bayonets or does anyone know of lists of markings elsewhere, perhaps online, please? Thanks.

F10, the book/pamphlet you need is: Instructions For Armourers (with amendments 1916) : APPENDIX IX - Marking of Arms - List III , as for online see link below, I use this as a guide plus other info I've gathered over the years.
forum member mike1967 has the above and has agreed to copy it at some point, he can't scan it as he would damage it so was going to take pictures.

I did find a copy of "The Broad Arrow" listed on Amazon for sale and it was a good job that I was sitting down when I looked at the price of over £800. Thanks for the alternative bigduke6.

I checked on ABE Books F10 and was a bit surprised at what they are worth now I got a new hard cover No 211 of 300 signed by Ian @3 years ago and paid no where near that price they are asking now. 800 smackers is rather obscene to be asking such a figure.

I've never managed to find out which College or School this 1907 bayonet marking relates to; I know that the first 3 letters stand for Officer Training Corps but I don't know any more about it. The second row of letters look like "MQM" and there could be something following, perhaps an "R" but I'm not sure. Below appears to be the number "10".
