    Two P07 bayos, both wilkinsons, which is rarer?

    Hi guys I have two Wikinson P07s. One is dated November 1917 and the other is undated but is marked s294 over WSC. The 1917 one has a mich darker blue on the blade and has only been lightly sharpened, if at all. The other has the green WWII rust paint and has been ground away much more during sharpening. Which is more of a collector?

    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.

    The 1917 it is WWI and older. Still Wilkinson are pretty common they made several million of them.

    the WSC is for the Lanchester SMG andn not the SMLE so you can justify keeping both on the grounds they are for different weapons and for WWI and WWII, they both of course fit both guns

    Thank you both for the input. I opened my big mouth and got pinched in a trade deal so I have to keep my word and let one go.

    Not too many Lanchester SMG bayonets about in the UKicon. Look for an "NI" Naval Issue stamping. Swap the WW1 1907 in my opinion.
    Enjoy your collecting. KRs Lester
