    Jungle Carbine Bayonet with No Markings?

    I have never seen one like this. What do you guys think? I am more into the losers (Germanicon, Japaneseicon and Italianicon). Doug

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.

    Not sure what to think Doug as I am not a bayonet man. However to help you out I think you should sell it to me so your "looser" stickers are not feeling uncomfortable.

    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    I have seen the RFI repos and a number of different originals marked all kinds of ways for different manufacturers but just never seen one with no markings. I was thinking some older repo? I just don't know anything about these. But, if you come down to the 1200 table gunshow in Seattle maybe we could work out a deal. You got snow up to the hubs up there yet? We have had some frost a couple of days so far down here. I'm off to the Portland, Ore. shows in the AM. Doug

    Could it be a Sterling with the boxed marking worn off?

    Any markings under the grips?

    Just black paint. Nothing I can see. Grips came off easy. You know, this one looks old. Barrel ring stamped crudely. I'm thinking a repo would be made better. Almost all the paint is worn off. Grips greasy and dinged. I don't think that this was in a collection untill reciently. I don't know a thing about these. Doug

    I think that it's a standard military spec bayonet made for Sterling. Not an ex UKicon Military No5 bayonet but the sort that went out to military customers/nations that specified bayonets with their orders such as NZicon and Malaya etc. This would be in the 60's and 70's, pre 'STERLING in a box' era.

    They are hard to find here and fetch around $170 when they come up.

    Gees! Guy paid $40. Wants a Mauser sling for it. Any body got a really nice Nazi (so sick [nice Nazi]) sling they want to trade for it? I'm short slings for all mine.

    Ran into a bunch of guys who fought in Malaya when I was in Rhodesia. Loved those Sterlings. Was issued a Uzi. Blew the top of my horses head off firing it from the hip at the Terrs. Mounted infantry do not cavalry make. Doug

    Well, Dougy is back. Tell me Doug, when referring to a bayonet or any other historical item, what is a "repo"?

    I define a repo as an item made after the period of the original item to look like a period item. Doug
