British Bayonet Question

[drsteve]

I recieved this bayonet in trade.
It is bright and shiney and unsharpened.
The brown color on the blade end is a reflection.
I have no need for it and I have no idea what it is worth.
Can someone help me?
I'm not sure what rifle it goes with either.
Thanks, Steve

It appears to be a Remington bayonet for the P14 Enfield rifle made for the British (303). The U.S. version is the M1917 in 30 '06, the bayonet will fit either rifle. Value is +/- $75-$150.

Thank you Stonewall. Steve

Some putz removed the finish on the bayonet and scabbard. Puts it at the low end of value. Should look like this. http://enfieldrifles.profusehost.net/in7.htm

That finish on the scabbard could be from use.

"...could be from use..." Not on the metal. Too even.

We used to see a lot of buffed bright ones here. Blunderbuss Antiques used to do all theirs like that - presuambly it made them sell better to the suckers who wandered through the door.
