Did Long Branch make no9 bayonets?

Did Long Branch make the no9 bayonet? I have one on my radar with a LB stamp and I've never heard/read of them making any.
Thanks.

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.

That's a great link Cinders, thanks.

Let's cut to the quick here chaps. That's not an LB mark and No, LB didn't make No9 bayonets. And if Old Smithy says it's not, then guess what.........

**browningautorifle** · 09-10-2016 10:22 AM

I don't think that's a Long Branch marking...I think it's just a "B".

**Rucker** · 09-10-2016 10:59 AM

Thanks gents...I myself wasn't convinced it was the overlay L & B marking.

It looks like an inspection marking of a Poole made example, 'F5' over a 'B'.
