My No.5 bayonet

[Flying10uk]

The only issue which I have with the newly made Indian No5 bayonets is when the occasional U.K. dealer attempts to pass them off as original vintage U.K. made No5s at a similar price tag to the original U.K. made examples. This may be easy for collectors with a little experience to spot but it is possibly not so easy for new and inexperienced collectors to notice. I have noticed several Indian No5 bayonets at shows for sale by dealers, from time to time, attempting to sell at inflated prices. It must be very disheartening for new collectors to be caught out like this.
