Some of you may know that my dad passed away in the summer, leaving a plethora of firearms paraphernalia, much of which I know nothing about. Case in point are these three bayonets. I never even knew he had them. He may even have forgotten about them. They were buried deep under a bunch of stuff in a box that was so far tucked away. Anyway, I tried to fit one of the long ones on my Lee Enfield (No4 MK I) but the circular part on the bayonet cannot get past the lug on my barrel. Darn.
Anyway, I would like to know what guns these are designed for. Thanks in advance for any information you are able to provide!
Here are some pictures. Sorry, I could only upload 7 of a maximum size so detail is poor. I hope they are helpful. I am going to refer to them by the coloured circles next to them. Going to use "white" for the white and green circle. It appears to me that "red" and "yellow" bayonets are virtually identical, except for the markings and one has a nice (leather?) sheath/scabbard, the other does not. The one in the sheath is covered in grease, doesn't look like it has ever seen daylight. The "white" bayonet has a highly polished blade.
In the following photo, I measured the distance to the slot. The picture is not in alignment with the slot but it is actually very close to 96 cm.
The slots on the other two bayonets are 85 cm measured from the same point.
