    No5mk2 " jungle carbine" bayonet..

    Would any of you know of or have one of these for sale? I know it's a long shot, but I really don't want the replica I see so many of... Thanks, Todd

    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.

    Heres one in the states for you though you wont have to pay the $80 postage they are charging and is a Mk2 according to the description.
    I expect with 6 days to go and 11 bids its going to go well abopve where its at present such are bidding wars V's sanity it seems S***O180 wants the rig.
    I have bid against their likes before good way to run up the price as they keep going you just gotta know how far to push them or be prepared to pay well above going price.

    On "here" there are still a couple of guys that are looking as far as I know. This discussion comes up every once in a while and the current bidding wars are pointed out. Your best bet is probably to buy a repro because as soon as you do, you'll find one that you can afford. Happened to me. Now I have three, plus the repro. My most recent cost $35, pretty sure it is a 1947 Poole. Harrisburg gun show a few months ago. They are out there, you just have to get lucky.

    Then put up a WTB ad and if one's available someone will return message you. I needed a Kragicon bayonet scabbard and placed a WTB with an answer surprisingly fast.

    eBay No 5 Mk II bayonet

    The seller of the No.5 bayonet on eBay claims 'Hilt has original military green paint showing a little wear and flaking'.

    I have not seen any finished like that. They are painted black on the pommel, cross-guard and ricasso, with the rest of the blade parkerised grey.

    You can see the wear marks on the blade/ricasso where someone has polished it, probably with a rotary wire brush. 'Very good condition'? I don't think so. A lot of money for an example in fair condition.

    Green was used for a finish also in some cases but I'm not so sure about THAT green paint . Here's the link I think, others will be able to appraise better. I think it's way to expensive, not just by a little either. That's an FN or L1A1 scabbard too by the way, pretty sure of that.

    The originals were nice and polished.
