    Getting closer on the colour match, and I added a Sheffield Chapman 1907 bayonet, cut down in Australianicon service.

    What markings does the bayonet have? I had one that started as a hook quillion and was cut, then remarked for WW1, WW2 and eventually cut for African service with their constabulary I think it was. Looked just like that one. It came with the correct shortened 1907 scabbard too.

    Here you go. Didn't come with a scabbard unfortunately.
