This could be the centerpoint of an entire Bayonet collection.
This is an extremely early and rare 1907 Enfield Bayonet made in in early years. Due to Pre-WW1 and WW1 years - demand for the 1907 Bayonets was so great that stamping were light and sometimes over stamped. This is one such sample. It appears that the date is 2 - 1907 - which would be Feb of 1907.

Judge by your standards - This is nice condition for such an early bayonet. Great Collectable. . This is a Bayonet - that any collector would be proud to own and display. This is history - for display or/ and investment for the future. Please look closely a the pictures of this bayonet set - this is a nice collector's set. Very minor slight dis-coloration. see pictures - would be very easy to polish out, but prefer to leave original. It wasn't an arsenal queen, but in decent condition. It is getting hard to find nice 1907 Enfield Bayonets and the early ones like this one are extremely hard to find. This is out of my personal collection and I am only selling them because of age and retirement.
The scabbard has the OVAL frog button that was used on WWI scabbards - so it is correct for the bayonet. This bayonet was obtained many years ago from a WW11 military arsenal so it being used as a WWII Bayonet set also is very probable saw action in both WW1 and WW11 and also various other encounters by the British Army.
These Bayonets made history in two World Wars and countless worldwide small incidents. I wish I knew more about the various proofs - a person could do some research and establish more of its history. AN ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION!

ease see the pictures for unique and exact markings on the blade - a historic collectable for display, re-enactment or simply an investment. The blade is 17 inches long and the overall 22 inches long - a very serious fighting instrument. This fits all British mk 111 rifles used in both wars. It will not fit the later number 4 rifles. This is a bayonet

OVER
100 YEARS OLD
-and good for age and history- pictures will better show condition. In addition - it is a well marked with proofs bayonet. It goes nicely on my mark 111 rifle.
It is not an cheap India made bayonet or a junk fake copy.
. It probably saw service in WW11. I say that because a collector informed me that the
British Army used MK111s rifles extensively
with the model 1907 bayonet . - see pictures. If it could only talk. Great for displaying with rifle, by itself , re-enacting or simply collecting. Note pictures of markings on the bayonet - I'm sure they probably mean more to you than me.
Note:
The blade has not been sharpened since leaving the Gov't Arsenal.
