Title L1A3 Nato bayonet
Nationality British
Period c 1965
Sold

This is the final development of the SLR bayonet for the British army in use until the introduction of the SA80 in the 1990s. It is marked clearly on the hilt L1A3. Nice example, with all its anodised finish and original black paintwork. Minor rust spotting to scabbard.

Picked up the dirk this morning and actually waited until I got back home before unwrapping the package. It really exceeded my expectations...whilst the photos were good, to see and feel it in three dimensions was very exciting. A beatutful piece Chris, and worth the wait.

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.
