I have a battle dressed SMLE, but unfortunately, no bayonet.




Me too. But what's a "battle dressed" SMLE?

I want to find a period suitable bayonet for my SMLE No.1 Mk III. A good long one. And a sheath.

I got a lovely leather Light Horse scabbard.

Believe it or not a bayonet in SA is illegal unless one is a collector. Some poor guy a few years ago got a 5 am police raid for mentioning his bayonet on the internet per a report. Unbelievable for a knife ! What a time we are beginning to live in, when STASI attitudes are fully supported by our Police.

But back to SMLE's. I have re-acquaint myself with its age. A least early 1920's or earlier. All matching numbers as well.

If I ever have a walk in gun strongroom, it will hang on the wall.

I like shooting the .303. It is so mild.
