Mint/Scarce* British No5 Bayonet and Scabbard. BAYO 403. Bayonets

This is a mint No5 bayonet with the blade still having the original storage grease on it. The blade is marked with the Poole Arsenal (The Royal Ordnance Factory in Poole was situated in Sopers Lane, Creekmoor (the site is currently occupied by Siemens), and although it manufactured aircraft guns during and after the Second World War and was a large employer in Poole, it's existence and history had seemingly been ignored for years) details of a ‘P’ within a circle and the date ‘1947’. Poole only made these bayonets for a couple of years in 1946 & 1947. The wooden grips are held with two pins and are not showing any wear at all. The scabbard is unmarked and the No5 MkI with the steel mouthpiece. See Skennerton item B293 on pages 237-239. The price for this rare original set includes UK delivery. BAYO 403.
