    I’m pretty certain that would fit the 1897 Winchester trench gun. The bayonet lug attachment to the trench gun was designed to use the same bayonet as the Springfield service rifle if I recall. 

    It is very interesting trying to find out bit about it.

    top photo a bit unclear on the markings,check if there is a serial number on the bayonet and on the chape of the scabbard  and any  WD marks

     

    I've tried to get a better photo

    Here are the only other marking on the scabbard 

    GK and MFW or could be MEW

    could be this  from the great war forum.... scarce Remington factory error bayonet caused by the production date of 1918 being set for stamping as the ' Pattern ' date, so instead on the bayonet ricasso reading the usual ' 1917 ' for the pattern date, this bayonet shows ' 1918 ' as the Pattern date.

    Once the error was discovered, it was immediately corrected, however a small number of Pattern 1917 Remington bayonets were produced with the Pattern ' 1918 ' error date shown on the riscasso.

    does it have 2 slots across grips? as remington did make p07 bayonets for the uk during ww1 as well

    Here's the pic of it.

    20180723_162940.jpg.622aa705a1939adf88d12b4da82ed8ec.jpgAnyone know anything about these bayonets? A friend is selling them to generate some cash, quite fancy one but no idea about their value.

    I've got similar to the one on the right but mines a remington and dated 1918. It's in fantastic condition. A mate at work gave it to me as I hunt and he though it might come in use!

    I read it as a joke, not saying such things dont happen, but at a wedding with partners and parents ect attending, I see it as unlikely to be just so.
    Maybe your sense of humour needs a tickle ?

    Yeah I get that he meant it as a joke, not the funniest joke in the world but still a joke. What I don't get is the accusation of twisting his words to make it someting it isn't.

    You certainly live up to your username.

    You edited out the part where I put my hands up and said it wasn't the best example.

    My entire post was answering the part where you stated that i was trying to make it someting it not. You did say that it was a joke and not the best example in a later post  from my original comment but you also posted that i was trying to turn it in to someting it isnt going to be

    the other men eat copious amounts of meat and gawp at the bridesmaids cleavage. (Hopefully this doesn't bring out the feminatze side)

    How else am I supposed to take that? What was I turning that post into? How can I be twisting your words?

    I wasn't making it something its not, this is your quote above. It doesn't say anything about women in beautiful dress twirling around the dance floor catching the eye of admirers. It says all the other men are going to eat copious ammouts of meat and gawp at the bridesmaids cleavage.

     It's your wedding you can do what you want.

  8. I feel a bit sorry for the lad, he's having to pass through some hoops to get an invite as +1. First he has to go to the pub with his partner and and her parents and listain to a bunch of old farmers "compliment" the bar staff without complaining. I can only assume the compliments will be a bit salty, as who would complain about a genuine complement. 

    Then at the wedding where he's going as partner of the groom's sister he has to oggle the bridesmaids cleavage as that's what every other man at the wedding will be doing! I hope the bridesmaids know they are only invited as the entertainment.
