Hope Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Need help with identifying this sword bayonet. All my research has led me to believe it is a Canadian British P1893 but some of the stamps bring that into questions, any help would be greatly appreciated =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I believe it is for a British Lee Metford rifle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Longmire Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Gazz nailed it! Lee-Metford bayonet, pattern of 1888, Mk.I type II, made in 1890 by Wilkinson. Apparently they are the type issued to Canadian regiments during the Boer war. https://www.goldiproductions.com/angloboerwarmuseum/Boer20c_tech_bayo.html And an utterly ridiculous video of the bayonet drill for the same: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
