This is a very early Owen machine gun bayonet newly made at Lithgow on 1952. Skennerton states that production did not start at Lithgow until 1953. The blade carries a broad arrow over ’52 and an O over a broad arrow and I on the other side with X MA on the other. (MA is the Lithgow mark). The blade is 10 inches long with a 5 inch fuller and is heavily blued. The grips are made of wood and are stamped SLAZ 51. The scabbard is a shortened Mk1 and has a feint MANGROVITE stamped into the rear next to the seam. The frog is a standard ’37 webbing pattern version. This is a very nice Korean War period Owen sub machine gun bayonet in virtually mint condition. See Skennerton item A13 on pages 278 and 279. Price for includes UK delivery. BAYO 518
