hello, It is unusually crude.  I have not seen one like this.  The British exported hundreds of thousands of Enfields.  I know a huge cache was discovered in Nepal some years ago.  These rifles are the 'commonly' seen ones on the different gun platforms.  My hunch is this bayonet was made somewhere like Pakistan, India, Nepal, Afghanistan, etc. as a replacement bayonet.  I was in Afghanistan as late as 2010 and later.  By the time I got there, the 1853 Enfields sold at the market were fake copies.  But I am aware the early guys did get to buy original Enfields.  I would guess the real one disappeared around 2005 or 2006.  But that is just an educated guess of me asking around. Sorry if this is no help. cheers!

wow, incredible score! congratulations.

Saving private ryan?

Unissued?  Someone poked holes in it. 

"The Longest Day"  Ham and Jam! Ham and Jam! Up the Ox and Bucks!   Episode 2 of "Band of Brothers" will need to be watched as well.   Allan

What's the movie of choice for tomorrow?

A few knuckles in my collection. No more are being made by EDMF. 

Great snapshot.   Practically "trick photography" as it looks like the canine warrior is charging out of a picture frame.    That would make a great poster if you have it high res.  Thanks for sharing. 

This cleaning kit arrived today and the sections are a bit different than what I have see in other photos here.  The jag is on a long section rather than being a short separate piece.  Curious if anyone has seen rod sections like this?
