Help identifying bayonet
« on: Wednesday 03 September 25 13:11 BST (UK) »
Hi all...was recently shown this by a gentleman who thinks a relation brought it home from WW1...between both of us, we haven't a clue the era or country it came from.
Any help would be very welcome.

If you can get a picture of the stampings by the hilt it would help but AndyJ looks spot on - British Home Guard ww2 used them too.
Lowe(Lower Gornall-Castleford)
Blackburn (Castleford)
Sidwell(Ledsham)
Fairburn(Hartshead)
Wood(Liversedge)
Tallon (Whittington Lancs/Hartshead West Yorkshire)
