Title Indian Army bayonet for S.M.L.E. rifle
Nationality Indian
Period c 1942
Sold

Reasonable example of an Indian Army bayonet for the Enfield rifle of WW2. The initials 'NWR' on the base of the blade stands for North West (Frontier) Railway. Typically, on this railway, there would have been armed railway police, who would have carried such an item. This unit was called the North West Frontier Railway Battalion, formed in 1886.

...acquiring this bayonet has completely changed my way of thinking on collecting bayonets. I have become extremely fond of the bayonet... Thanking you once again for the very professional way in which you handled the money [going to the wrong account] problem.

Just a short note to let you know that I have collected the Police fur cap this morning from the Post Office. I am really happy with it, and for sure I will give a thumbs-up to your service. This was the first item I ever bought from you, and I hope it will not be the last.
