Hey guys,
I know you do not see me post a lot here but I read everything posted in this section and have developed a health love of military surpluses. I have come across a bayonet and need help to ID it. Here are a couple of shots of it:

The last shot sucks but I was trying to show the markings.
The blade has a C with a A in it and is dated 1958 (I am guessing Camillus maybe). The hilt has a serial number on it 150 3900 C1 or l50 3900 Cl and there are no more marks on it at all. The frog or the scabbard has none except a name scratched on it.

I have focused on WWII stuff so I have no idea what this is from so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Those FNC1 bayos are still relatively common at gun shows, usually about $40-$45 or so...we should all have one. The guns they fit are gone, own a piece of the dear departed Canadian Arsenals FN.

heck!! i got 4, 2 black and 2 chrome, and yes, its for a FN c1.
 
Thanks everyone, I knew I could get the info here and quick. I am not sure if I am going to keep it or not as it is not from the time frame I am collecting but I guess I will have to think about it as it is a good piece of Canadian history.
