I Steve,

Its a fine original unmarked F&BL, no problems at all for me.

I have to agree with Tom, very worn but original

Hi Steve

I agree as well, an unmarked F&BL design in what looks to be a bronze grade.

In looking at the 1L wreath leaf yours looks to be a (3) vein variation. Most marked and unmarked F&BL examples have just the single leaf stem/vein in the leaf area above the bayonet.

Another nice feature of the F&BL examples is the detailed bayonet with the grip having grooves in the handle.

Best Regards, fischer

Hi Steve

I agree, original, and certainly had a tough life.
