Some bits from the war and peace show

[Gary Wood]

They look to have Nepalese markings ....
These are from the Nepalese arsenal stock which have been brought back to England on mass over the last few years.

Gary,
That looks like it, we'll that one of them sorted thanks, the markings on the other one are below just cannot make the makers name out !

I wouldn't expect to see the English makers name on this bayonet, I think that faint marking is again Nepalese.
The marking (looking closer) looks to be irregular, and not English type Script.

BTW. The story of the Nepalese arsenal weapons is fascinatiing.
Over 50,000 British 19th Long arms and fitments purchased as a "job lot" off the Nepalese government ..... Martini Henri's (including the what is thought to be the original prototype MK1 from circa 1869-1870).

Watch this !!!! and be stunned !!!
