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.

    Well... my 2 cents.... for what its worth....

    The only country that may have used US issue M7 Bayonets was probably Australiaicon. I have a Buck Bayonet that's marked with the Broad arrow.

    As for the price..... I would think its out to lunch.... I paid $200 for my Aussie marked Buck.

    The did get M16icon's and probably had M7 for them, this on eis more likley to be Australianicon and though not common i think the price iw too big. I am sure the SAS issued items would have been sterile, i.e. no Arrow marks just bog standard My's that could be anyones, dont really want to advertise who was there! I would need a good provenence to go Britishicon on this, 200 for your Buck was a steal they nornally fetch close on double this in my experience, good find

    The Britishicon Army certainly did have plenty of M7 knife bayonets and have had them for many years. They were first listed in EMER reference SA&MG V153 dated August 1970

    WD Arrow marking. I haven't seen any for a couple of years but it would appear that they were/are marked. The marking was probably a contract stipulation

    In my limited experience the No 7 price is not out of line. I have seen these Bayonets, (in good plus condition), offered and sold at $200 plus. Maybe Central Florida is just an expensive place? (Check with B. Dick at BDLicon Ltd.)

    Silly Sellers

    "SAS", "SBS", "COMMANDO", "AIRBORNE", "PARATROOPER", and my personal favorite, "MINT"; all words often used by E-sellers to pry more money out of the hands of the unwary.

    Giving the seller of this item the benefit of the doubt, I contacted him a couple of weeks ago to inform him of what I knew about this bayonet, naively expecting him to pass the information along in his listing, and, hopefully, adjust the price to a more realistic level. As he did neither, to prevent others with these bayonets from making a similar "mistake" as to their worth, but, more importantly, to prevent my fellow collectors from being burned by such a cock and bull story, here is the information I relayed to him.

    In the early 1990's Sarco was selling these bayonets as "Australianicon M-16 Bayonets", for the princely sum of $34.50 each. I purchased two, and with shipping and handling, from New Jersey to California, my invoice shows a grand total of $77.57.

    These bayonets and scabbards arrived in separate, sealed, plastic wrappers, and were brand-spanking new. The bayonet is exactly as pictured in the sellers listing, with the only markings being the broad-arrow and "M7" stamped on the cross-guard. The scabbards that came with the bayonets were not the standard M8A1 that the seller pictures with his, but the later, all-plastic, M10 scabbard with a nylon suspension strap and a nylon lace tie-down. The scabbard is painted with a light and dark green camo pattern, with the only marking being a broad-arrow, impressed in the plastic at the throat.

    One of the two pair I left in the original wrap. On the bayonet wrapper is printed:

    1005-00-073-9238
    FSCM: 19204 P/N: 11010077
    BAYONET KNIFE, M7
    1 EACH

    On the scabbard wrapper is printed:

    1095-00-223-7164
    SCABBARD BAYONET-KNIFE
    1 EA

    It would be nice if that bayonet was what the seller thought it to be before I contacted him, (you can bet one of mine would be for sale!), but as he didn't change his listing after being informed of the probable origin of his bayonet, I think I can be forgiven if I believe his description to be pure, unadulterated hokum.

    Hope this helps a bit.

    Terry
