jay dubaya Posted 9 November , 2006 Share Posted 9 November , 2006 This bayonnet has recently been passed down the family to me & unfortunately I have no idea of it's history (at the moment that is...) The only stamping I can find on it reads 'R 59 / ??6237'. Any help is always much appreciated, cheers Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
