I picked up a clean M1905 bayonet a few years ago for $50. It is marked SA on one side and dated 1906 on the reverse. It has the flaming bomb mark also. It is not a bright blade so it has been reparkerized. My question is this... I was under the impression that the first bayonets of this model were not serial numbered. Mine has a serial number. Was this added when it was refurbished or did bayonets from this time have a serial number. Sorry I don't have pictures. I can take some later if they are needed. Thank you.

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.

This is an original 1905 dated 1906, and has a five digit serial number applied at the time of manufacture.

Thanks very much. I wasn't sure. I wish mine was still in it's original configuration, but it is not. It's still a part of history and for the price, I didn't think I could beat it.

I tried to take a picture last night. Maybe they are decent.
