Is this an Australian 1907 Bayonet?

I only bid that high thinking that it wouldn't go for that price, leaving me the highest bidder. kind of glad I got outbid. I have done nuclear bids before, sure glad I didn't make an insane nuclear bid with this one.

The reason that particular 07 went for what you think is a bit high price is in the fine print have a look at the cross piece and the throat of the scabbard there you will see 3MD 33011 so this is the 3rd Military District in Australia ~ The 3rd Military District covered all of Victoria and that part of New South Wales south of the Murrumbidgee River.
Plus it is an early Lithgow from WWI (Lithgow only got going in 1912).
It has the early tear drop with the 7 pointed "A" stamping at the toe and will probably have Lithgow 1916 stamped on the leather but this may have become hard to see, the serial 50941 is the rifles serial number as in the case like my 1921 MKIII '07 Lithgow bayonet carries the same serial number as my 1921 Lithgow MKIII rifle.

So it pays to have a good look at what is on offer knowing about the MD system in Aus, this will perhaps help you understand why some '07 Lithgow's sell for what they do besides try and buy a hooked quillon Lithgow if you can get a smicko one for under $2.5 - 3K then snap it up.
Plus its e-bay where using a nuclear bid can land you in hot water (Ask me how I know) obviously the buyer may have a 1916 3MD Lithgow MkIII, like me I have a 1916 Lithgow MkIII 5MD (Western Australia) and have a 1916 5MD '07 & 5MD scabbard for the rifle each brought separately a few years apart.

Than you cinders, you had previously said of the prices and I wasn't complaining of the price, just surprised. I obviously i would have paid what I bid, although I didn't expect to be outbid. But I'm no way an expert with these bayonets. Luckily, the few times I have used a nuclear bid, it worked out for me, but yes I'm aware of the dangers and have seen the results of a nuclear collision. Luckily, I didn't go too big and in fact it really turned out to be non nuclear as you explained that's what it's worth. Also it would have been a close match for my 1915 3MD Lithgow MkIII* SMLE too which is why it was attractive to me. Also, spent most of my life in Victoria. I mainly included the link for Flying10uk to show the item of the price I had mentioned. Thank you! (I thought I'd edit this and add a few pics of my SMLE, just because!)

Not many '15 MkIII's Lithgows around so I'd keep that forever, my friend regularly cleans up with his though I have beaten him on occasions.

Thank you. I do intend to keep it. I feel privileged to own it. Thanks again!
