Remembered Today:

P.1888 Bayonets Marked to 3 W. RID Regt.

There are currently two of these on an on-line auction site.

Both are Mk. I, 2nd Type; one bears (rack) number 235; while the other has 3(8)(3)?

The sellers are ~1,000 miles apart.

What are the odds.... ?

Regards,

JMB

Hmmm.... Somebody sold their collection? Happens... Recently in Turkey there have been loads of Red Cross back-packs on sale, all slightly different, as somebody sold their collection...

Pretty amazing coincidence given the two different sellers. Funny how there are a lot of bayonets on the market these days which are marked to certain battalions / regiments. I've just acquired my third bayonet marked to the 5rd Bavarian IR - can't fathom how so many of those bayonets are left in existence given that regiments history...
