Hi, I'm trying to understand all the markings on my 1907 bayonet, obviously the makers' marks are understood, but on the other side with the bend mark etc i'd like to know if anyone could throw any light on the rest of them please??

Broad Arrow = acceptance for service

3x inspector stamps - crown/letter/number (top right to bottom left)

'25 = 1925 reinspection/reissue date

 

?? (month not visible) '17 = year of manufacture

There appears to be a badly stamped 6 or 8 or similar between the L and K of Wilkinson...

I should probably have said LEGIBLE rather than visible.

That late this should be one of the 'scrubbed WILKINSON/PALL MALL' versions - but it is well scrubbed!
