Info & value for this No5 Mk1 bayonet

[Cetme24]

The two I received were WSC as well and equal condition. One had a scabbard that was a bit rough.

You guys talked me into buying one. Shipping is awful, almost made me cancel the order. I already have three, don't really need another one but the price is pretty good.

Ain't that the truth. Charged $35 for UPS shipping and was sent via a medium USPS flat rate box (commercial rate of $13.50 ish and the box is free), received AK-47 bayonets, they paid the return UPS freight, and then sent (hopefully via UPS) the correct bayonet, due later today. So in my case all the additional P&O they were trying to make off me was burned up in the shipping fiasco.

HI,

This is a No. 5 Mk I (actually the later style No. 5 Mk II) Bayonet for the No. 5 Mk 1 Jungle Carbine rifle. I need some educated eyes to provide any additional information and value. Condition is excellent overall, as is the scabbard and frog.



As you can see, it is manufactured by Wilkinson Sword (W.S.C.) and marked with the British acceptance Broad Arrow. The ricasso is slightly darker in color than the blade, which is unsharpened.

The information that I have is from Bayonets From Janzen's Notebook.

I am considering selling it with or without the rifle. Not sure which would net me the most dollars. What say you about the bayonet appearance, quality and value?

Thanks!

Very nice No5, in the UK they are around £150- £180 condition of yours is excellent though so you could name your own price.
