Gorgeous set. The matching numbers.   64 .  144

I guess the 144 is serial ##

 but no know what the 64 stands for?? Think rare to see the stamping in the grip still so crisp and clear. Hope you guy's like

That is a very nice bayonet! The 64 refers to the 64th battalion of militia - the Voltigeurs de Beauharnois in the province of Quebec.  The other number is the rack number. The double-throated Oliver Pattern frog is not common. 

 

All the best,

I saw the condition and matching numbers, I had to jump on it.I still think the frog look's odd, but know is correct, seen period pic's being worn

The frog is absolutely correct for this bayonet from 1890s through to WW1. Unique to Canada,

The lot beautiful
