Scarce* British ‘1903’ Pattern Bayonet Converted From ‘P1888’ Dated ‘6/97’. BAYO 733. Bayonets

The ‘P1903’ design combined the ‘P1888’ blade and cross piece with a new pommel design. Many 1903 patter bayonets are actually P1888 bayonets that have been converted. This bayonet is a good example of a converted 1888. The blade length is 30cm and is double edged. On side is stamped with ‘EFD’ (Enfield) and the other with numerous inspection stamps, ‘6/97’ ‘1903’. The press-stud locking mechanism works well. The wooden grip scales are in good condition with age related marks. The leather scabbard has age related marks *The stitching to the rear has come open.
