Andy,

Thank you for your kind words as usual.

And as usual I strongly disagree with your opinion on SS Bayonet 10170.

What it started out as and what it ended up as are 2 different bayonets. I couldn't say for sure if is a battlefield salvage bayonet or a rework bayonet. However, from the bluing on both the blanko scabbard and the blade there is a definate match up. The Blade has an excellent SS Property Stamp applied after blue.
