Help with identification - Bayonet Sword


Hope

Recommended Posts

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 =)

I believe it is for a British Lee Metford rifle.

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.

And an utterly ridiculous video of the bayonet drill for the same:
