MikeyH Posted 12 February , 2018 Share Posted 12 February , 2018 (edited) Looks like a Siamese '1902' or Type 45, the ricasso markings seem right, the overall length should be 369mm, with a blade length of 248mm. Mike. Edited 12 February , 2018 by MikeyH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyH Posted 12 February , 2018 Share Posted 12 February , 2018 (edited) I have seen them for sale at £175. A more realistic figure would be around £100. Mike. Edited 12 February , 2018 by MikeyH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasemuseum Posted 12 February , 2018 Share Posted 12 February , 2018 They do have a great war connection as Thailand (Siam) was a belligerent, sending a small contingent to the Western Front. Although no infantry. Cheers Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N White Posted 12 February , 2018 Share Posted 12 February , 2018 They also make a decent stand-in for Portuguese Vergueiro bayonets, or most export Mausers with the shorter bayonet lug. I think mine was $35 or so, about 7 years ago. The rifles are considerably harder to come by, unmolested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
