I bet ### was the last thing on his mind when he saw that knife for that price.

I was kind of hoping it was a Bren gun

Darn , when I seen the headline , I thought it might be one of those elusive Valmet M78's from northern Canada that the Feds gave out , but I guess a knife is okay as well .

I don’t know anything about unit markings

Where on earth did that come from!

Dickering is the time-honored yard sale tradition of offering something lower than the asking price.
Get your head out of the toilet son.

Personally speaking, I would likely have torn the seat out of my pants getting my wallet out.
A NOTE FOR gbdrew: There is no ###ual content in that comment.

Hi. I hope you don't mind me adding in my 2 cents. The entire unit is untouched by Bubba. The bayonet is a Mk II made June 1916 for the Ross Mk III service rifle. Somehow it got mixed up with an earlier scabbard. The back of the scabbard should indicate a 1909 manufacture. The markings indicate issue in June 1914 to the 101St Regiment Edmonton Fusiliers (rack No. 451). That scabbard was originally issued to a short Mk II Ross service rifle which took a Mk I bayonet. It is common to have such interchanges. To maintain value do not apply anything to the bayonet or especially to the scabbard. Leave it untouched. John
