Description
I have a copy of this soldier's pension request from 60 year after the war. I know that he carried it home from the war and that it was kept in his family until I purchased it this week. On comparing it to photos of other bayonets, I believe it is an Enfield. There are cross hatched file marks on the bottom of the clamp, as well as a stamp that I believe to say J.M. There is no rust, pitting, or knicks. It seems to be completely intact, including the screw.
This is a gift for my dad. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I want to share as much as I can with him about it.
Thanks!
