    Unknown Find ?

    I was heading to the Store and Stopped a Garage Sale and ended buying this for 10.00. I don't have a clue who made this or if it's anything or nothing. Maybe someone might know something about it.

    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.

    looks like a Jap bayonet with a Kokura Arsenal mark to me, maybe for a Type 30 Arisakaicon?. But I'm just a casual bayonet collector and only for rifles I own

    Looks like it was covered in motor oil at one time or is that varnish? Cracked and gross, some acetone will bring it back. Yes, Jap Arisakaicon bayonet...

    $10 is a good buy for any bayonet. This one is easily $80 and could bring as much as $120 or so if you can get whatever's on it off of it.

    Thank You Jim...You nailed it right on the Head. He told me that he had a friend who gave it to him so long ago he couldn't even remember what it was. It probably look descent when it was given to him after he Varnished so much it looked like Class. It's Solid but there's not another place on it for another crack to start. I don't know why I bought it, but if anyone collects these Type of Bayos I'll be happy to Send it to you for a Early Christmas Gift. NBS

    Why not put it up on the WTS for a decent buck and move it along, now you can show them who made it and all...it's earlier than the one Stewart's shows. It's a hooked quillion and the one they show is last ditch almost. It's nice... Cheap is still a gift.

    Should clean up nicely. Like Jim says, might get you a little closer to that something you've had your eye on.

    That's really not a Bad Idea Jim, but you know I sell a lot of some really nice descent parts and after this long brutal 10 months that I had to put myself through this nightmare all over again after my Sister I rather like to let these Rock-Ola and NPM TI Flippers out there first. You kinda know what I mean My Friend.
