Thank you Mike for your post if I remember correctly one of your bayonets is now mine 😊

However I appreciate the pictures & your post   😉

Is that 16” worth $300 ? What is the demand on a Number 1 Mark III.  ?

Its an interesting bayonet, looks to have had the original makers mark scrubbed then Wilkinson over stamped during a refurb in Aug 1917.

OTC is Officer Training Corps

BDS would be the college or university, the numbers probably its rack number.

From what I gather definitely a keeper, rare to find an OTC bayonet

Ditto ^^^^

It kinda looks like (Chapman scrubbed) to my poor eyesight.

A rear photo of the (cross guard,quillon) would be interesting if possible.

$300.00 with the scabbard & frog not unreasonable IMO.

Cheer’s.

Oh and you are welcome - and the above is just my opinion.

Thank you for the replies 

Since this won’t fit my current Enfield sniper I have told the owner that I will pass hopefully it goes to someone who can use it

The original question was asked if a 1907 Pattern bayonet would fit a No4Mk1.

Ok NOW I unnerstann.

The P-14 versions had "lines, or grooves" cut across the Wood scales to identify them a being for the different muzzle size & shape of the P-14 from the SMLE which they wouldn't fit although looking similar at a glance.

like this:

BD usually signifies the county of Bedfordshire and BGS stands for Bedford Grammar School. 

BDS is not listed in Skennerton's The Broad Arrow so my best guess is that it might be a miss stamp for Bedfordshire Grammar School or possibly a stamp for just Bedfordshire School. 

Having said that Skennerton's book has many missing stamps which have surfaced since it's publication(s). 

The '07' i  question in the original post, was manufactured by - Wilkinson Pall Mall. The 'pall mall' section... ( always underneath the 'Wilkinson' ) is very sparsely stamped, though still discernable. 

Sarge.

Appreciate you clarifying that 'Shamu'. I thought you might be slipping there for a second.  

the american companies remington and winchester produced the pattern 1913 bayonets for the P1914 rifles first for contracts for the commonwealth , then later when those were done the remarked some to M1917 for their american contracts for the M1917 rifles , 

yes there were a few that were marked 1918 by accident as per common US practice for the M1905 but this was corrected , 

Oh I am slipping.

I know it

I dislike it.

But I am not the person I used to be.

Please feel free to correct if needed, I promise I wont get mad if it's legit.

the US continued the cross cuts as the canadians and others were using both P14 & M17 rifles 

but i digress , the P13 is the topic and only the two made these , after the P13 rifle was abandoned the brit contracts to their domestic bayo mfgrs fell away in preference to the commonwealth production demands for the P07 

An interesting progression in the P13/M17 bayonet markings:

1) British, P13

2) British cancelled, US, P13

3) American, P13    (Help!)

4) American, M17

I don't think your fully aware of the various steps during the progression from P13 to M17, and as such,,, are getting yourself a tad confused with what you refer to as the--> American P13. 

Let me take you through the full progression. Listed below are the various stages from P13 to M17 ( mistamp )...

1) Enfield Trials Pattern-1913 bayonet ( two production dates ).

2) Pattern-1913.

3) Vickers Production Pattern-1913.

4) Early production Model-1917.

5) Cancelled British inspector stampings ( two methods = Cross-Hatched & Peening ).

6) Fully U.S. Arsenal stamped Pattern=1913.

7) Standard production Model-1917 ( with Clearence Hole in pommel ). 

8) Standard production Model-1917 ( mistamped as 1918 ).

Let's look at items 5) & 6) from the listing above. Hopefully, aster reading this, all will be clearer, and the pieces will fall into place.

Cancelled British Inspector Stamps - Cross-Hatching.

When America entered WW1 in April of 1917, it soon became apparent that there was a desperate shortage of rifles and bayonets. The cancelled British P14 Rifle and P13 Bayonet contracts left the USA with approx 250,000 Bayonets waiting for a new home. The P13 Bayonets, after purchase from The UK, were added to the U.S. Arsenal by cancelling out the British Inspector Stamps, then adding the letters U.S. ( as illustrated above ). There was also a second method employed which achieved the same aim = Peening.

Cancelled British Inspector Stamps - Peening.

Peening served the same purpose as Cross-hatching. Along with the added 'U.S.', it served to show that the item thus stamped was fully a U.S. Military item.

In order to show American ownership of P13 examples which had not Been through the Bristish Inspection System... another method was needed. The method used, was the same as used on standard production Model-1917 bayonets.

'A square 10'

I think this is what you were trying to say. 

Sarge, I don't think you understood the purpose of my post.  I was merely referring to the markings of the bayonets in question! I find the one with an original US crest plus the 13 rather out of place! 

Righto! I presume your referring to the P13 with full U.S. Arsenal markings.... the last item I illustrate. The ( HELP! ) indicator after the 3rd item on your list gave some idea of what you were after. I merely placed that portion into context. As I've shown + explained... it's not out-of-place, although I can fully see how you see it that way. Look at it as a natural progression.... the final step inline... from P13 to M17.
