Hi guys, today we are taking a look at the British Number 9 bayonet. I have already covered the South African version of this bayonet.

falls into the same bracket as the Mosin rifle bayonet, fairly useless without being attached to the rifle. Good info on the manufacturing markings ! Over the years I've noticed that the length of the bayonet was relevant to the theater of war you fought in. GI's , Brits and Auzie's all used the longer blades when fighting against the Japanese, not so much in Europe.

Interesting thought about the length, I hadn't considered that

Good video, would love a P1948 to round out my No9 collection.

If your scabbard has a steel mouthpiece it's a no5 MK1,brass means mk2,Poole made examples are marked P in a circle on the frog stud.

The G. Buggins & Co. Ltd. Redditch version has a M48 marking according to page 267 of the book 'The Spirit of the Pike - British socket bayonets of the twentieth century' by Graham Priest.

I have a No. 9 MK 1 without a scabbard I bought to fit my US PROPERTY made Savage No. 4 MK 1 enfield rifle which has what I believe to be a zinc buttplate. The blade and muzzle socket have a brown patina. On the right side of the muzzle socket assembly near the base of the blade there is a Broad Arrow Stamp and another such stamp on the top flat of the assembly below the socket hole. On the left side of the muzzle socket is stamped No. 9 MK . 1, and below that a POF 60. Do you know what I have here ?
