    Is this bayonet really 100 years old ? Does not look it. How do you tell the difference between the WWI and WWII models ? Bought 20 years ago for $45 wrapped in oily butcher paper from a man with a crate full.Attachment 98923Attachment 98924Attachment 98925Attachment 98926Attachment 98927Attachment 98928Attachment 98929

    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.

    An edited photo.

    Looks like a welded rather than a brazed joint, to me.

    I looked at mine and it is in used condition, but the tang & pommel are brazed. In Gary Cunningham's Bayo Points 10 refer to A Remington Model 1917 Bayonet With Standard Markings and the four following model explanations for details. In Detail of the Tang and Pommel Area it explains it may have been refinished.

    It's a nice looking one and not a reproduction. Refurbed possibly.

    The coppery residue shows that it is brazed. The finish seems to be the darker, earlier refinish, or original manufacture. Thanks to all.Attachment 98933Attachment 98934

    There was no production after WWI until the sixties when the need for bayonets for trench shotguns outstripped supply. The two 60s manufacturers were General Cutlery and Canadianicon Arsenal Limited. Easy to tell the difference as the post war version has plastic grips, a rough parkerized finish and the guard is held on by roll pins.
