The history on this bayonet?

[Failname]

Im fairly sure the same bayonet has been used in movies so ill post it here.

I went through some boxes of old stuff and found this bayonet my uncle gave me a long time ago, the number engraved on the handle is 19997 and the blade has a small P with a circle around it , google came up empty

Does anyone know more about this piece?
ill add a picture later

Without a picture it's kinda hard but the small p circled means it was made at the Poole Royal Ordinance Factory

It's 50CM long total

it looks almost the same as the M1892 (Berthier Carbine)

Looks like a Lee Enfield bayonet, especially given where it was made. Except the grip material looks different.


Does look like what you mentioned now that I used Google

Asked a page on facebook and they said , i qoute "these bayonets were used during WWI in czech, bulgaria, poland and other countries"

It's a Mauser WWI bayonet, I'm not sure of the country yet.

Probably South American but not Brazilian, they had a leather sheat.

I found that one to, but the numbers are different and on a different place

 

[RickDeG]

There are factories, three major manufacturers were:
Manufacture Impériale de Chatelleraut
Manufacture Impériale de St.-Etienne
Manufacture Impériale de Tulle

Maybe your example just has the stamps in a different area, it's not uncommon.

Thanks for the info guys, i assume because it was WW1 a lot was still done by hand so it could be placed differently (the numbers)
