Title Indian Army bayonet for S.M.L.E. rifle
Nationality Indian
Period c 1942
Sold

Reasonable example of an Indian Army bayonet for the Enfield rifle of WW2. The initials 'NWR' on the base of the blade stands for North West (Frontier) Railway. Typically, on this railway, there would have been armed railway police, who would have carried such an item. This unit was called the North West Frontier Railway Battalion, formed in 1886.

testimonials

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)
