LEE ENFIELD No5 Bayonets,

[Greenhorse six]

Whats a good price for one. I've seen a couple for $175.can, is that about right? kind of looking to complete my No5.

 

[Martin]

I'm looking since 3 years! Very hard to find. Be aware of fakes!
A copy goes for 100 USD! I would look at UK auction sites as well.

Look here, if you like http://www.bayonets.com/

Grab yourself a No 9 bayonet. Same scabbard.

i paid fifty US for a repro. they are as rare as hens teeth and 250/300 is not uncommon for an original.

The scabbard for the FAL bayonet will fit as well. Same blade profile.

 

[JP]

Actually, its the reason so many Jungle and No9 bayonets are missing scabbards, the scabbard were re-arsenaled and re-issued with the FN L1A1 bayonets.

Would any of you folks have a pic or a good description of an original No 5 bayonet?

Grampa bought a rifle with bayonet (which I now have) years ago, I'm thinking its probably correct but not certain.

OK
Here is my 1947 BSA made No.5Mk.1 bayonet fitted to my '47 Faz. No.5.

 

[reccman]

Here is mine.

Manufactured buy Poole in 1946

 

[Salty]

Thanks guys. They sure look a lot like mine

The wood on mine happens to be very dark, bloody nears black. The rifle's wood is fairly dark as well. Its marked No5MK1ROF (F) 7/45. Thanks again for the help.....

as much as e-bay is evil, it seems to be the place to find knives for old army guns. there is a huge following of bayonet collecters and when one of them gets hard up for cash the knives end up on ebay. i have even seen a friskars on there. it just depends what you are willing to pay.

 

[Salty]

Well if one of you guys are stuck and could use my bayonet to complete a rifle I would consider selling or trading it. I will never sell my rifle, nor bubba it but will use it as gramps did once in a while, for hunting. The bayonet lives on top of my gun cabinet and that's kind of a waste to me.....
