Hi all. Another one I picked up in Riga. My best guess is that this was converted from an 1898/05 "Butcher" bayonet based on the length of the quillon. I think the blade has been heavily polished as opposed to plated to achieve a shine as someone has had a go at if with a grinder at some point and nothing is flaking off. The grips are a little rough and ready but fit quite well and appear to be made of a material similar to bakelite. There is a rough engraving on the quillon that looks like a triangle with horizontal lines through it. Any opinions on this one would be much appreciated. It did not cost much so no feelings will be hurt if it turns out to be rubbish :rolleyes: Cheers.
