Bayonet with fighting quillion

[wulfrik-the-wanderer]

No, I would not expect to see blackened steel on the WW2 Wilkinson S294 general service bayonet, that is why I asked if there was any blackened metal on your bayonet ?, as if so, it could indicate it was an ' Admiralty Contract ' bayonet retaining some of it's original finish.

Also, thank you, yes it is a very nice frog.

Hey LF,

in the photos I attached above you can see in between the grip scales on the tang blackened steel, does this look like admiralty type blackening? it is the only finish like it that has survived on the bayonet
