Ishapore factory mark along with the “7 43" production date and the “Mk.I" with the “*" symbol which according to Kiesling’s book on Bayonets of the World is actually a Mk II pattern. The opposite side shows the bend and test mark proofs. The heavily coated crosspiece has a “DP" marking and the pommel has a “495" serial number. The wood grip scales have very dark stained wood with numerous dings and scratches. These bayonets have Indian made blades with components shipped in from Britain. No scabbard is included.
