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.

testimonials

This is to confirm receipt of the item and I am very pleased with it.

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
