Remembered Today:

A Canadian Marked U.S. M-1917 Bayonet?

New to me. I did wonder if the first one led with a Slavic or Greek letter but I guess it is an 'E'(?)

That aside, the American Inspector no. 30 is a pretty high one isn't it? Not my thing, but I had a memory flash that said someone on GWF was listing these and that no. 24 was the highest s/he had found...

Greetings Trajan,

I will have to check to see on the inspector's numbers' sizes, my other 1918 variant has either "18" or "16" (post #4 of this thread on the far right). I assume it is ER as far as the letter are concerned. Thank you, for sharing your thoughts.

Regards,

Lance

Hi Lance,

I have a Remington with Inspector 26.

It's strange that the crosspiece and pommel don't match. Also I guess they are both ER, but they use different punch sets. I guess the key is where some M1917's went after leaving US service (other than the UK Home Guard). In a similar vein, I have a 1913 that has been marked somewhere, no takers last time I posted the pics.

Cheers,

Tony
