    Bayonet id

    Looks like an Enfield, but dimensions are strange. Overall length is 21.25”. Socket length is 4”. No markings except remnets at base of blade.

    Would it be possible to provide a clear photo of whatever markings remain on the blade, and a better photo of the opening in the bridge of the socket?

    My first impression is that it's for a Brown bess. Knowing the inside diameter of the socket may help. Unfortunatly my refference material isn't avaliable right now.

    Added more pics. The markings are hard to see by pic, but they are just above the horizontal scraping(?) center & left. They show up clear in my photo, but downloaded to here is less clear.
    Also looks like the left side of the blade is damaged/missing, as it’s not symmetrical. I.D. of the socket at the bridge is 23mm.
    Tnx

    addendum: http://www.jeffreyhayes.com/bayonets...essnewland.htm

    closest I came up with is the 4” Brown Bess with land pattern shoulders. But my length is only 533mm, so doesn’t match exactly

    Took better pic. Markings above horizontal scrapings might be a date, but can only see top 1/4 of it. Photo is 800k, but uploads to only 10k, so I can email if anyone is interested.

    Looks like some version of a Brown Bess, but not a lot of research material out there.
    tnx

    Thank you for the additional photos, they're great, but Unfortunately I can't provide any additional information on your bayonet.
