Hi, Im Reesy89 from the UKicon. This site looks to be full of useful and knowledgable threads and hopefully I will learn a lot while on the forum.

With that said I am hoping that someone could shed a bit of light on a bayonet for me. I have a Wilkinson pattern 1907 bayonet (I figured that out using this forums threads) but I am struggling to read all of the stampings. I can see the crown followed by the GR and 1907 is just about readable, however, I can not read a full issue date. I can make out a 7 so July but the year is proving difficult. Im not sure if its a 1 or a 2 that I can read but either way thats not a full year. I was hoping someone may have some advice on how i could clean the bayonet to a point that I can read the year but without damaging the metal and especially the markings.

Thanks in advance
Reesy89
