I posted this on another forum but haven't gotten any hits. Can someone tell me what the markings in this picture indicate?

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

I'm speaking of the 1:2 and sawtooth marking on the lower right of the blade just in front of the guard. This is a M1905 blued bayonet dated 1918.

Thanks!

It is the partial eagle head stamp for US inspection with the inspectors number.

Thanks....I had suspected something like that but am a bit puzzled by the fact that I do not see that on any of the other M1905 bayonets I have in my collection. Was this a WWI feature or can it be nailed down to a specific time period or other activity?
