    Help with No 5 Enfield Repro or Original ( Strange Markings )

    Hi

    Have just come into possession of this BAyonet for a mannequin that I am creating for the Malaya Conflict

    There appear to be no Ordnance MArks to the blade which makes me think this may be an Indian Version. There are some Cypher type marks to the rear of the bayonet lug. I have taken some pictures of the item. any advice would be appreciated


    Regards

    Allan

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    The bayonet looks original, not a repro, most likely a Sterling contract example. Sterling built new and rebuilt bayonets so markings vary. The markings on yours unfortunately are poorly struck and have no meaning to me, they may have been added by someone looking to give it some markings?? Best guess.
