    1907 bayonet markings

    Found some markings on this bayonet

    1) RE - Remington. black.
    2) 6 17 - June 1917
    3) WILKINSON - Wilkinson Sword Company.
    4) PALL MALL - scratched out. Not uncommon for Wilkinson to do so during 1916 - 1918.
    5) G.R - Georgius Rex.
    6) X - bending mark, proof of blade.
    7) Broad arrow - government acceptance mark.
    8) N - Naval Service
    9) N.R. - Naval Reserve?
    10) 457 - rifle number?
    11) J.B - J.Brooks & Co Ltd.

    Thats all the markings I can see without destructively cleaning it and I have no intentions to do so. For the rest of the markings in the photo, I am unsure, especially the ones below the broad arrow as it doesn't make any sense to me or look remotely similar to an inspection mark. Maybe someone can try?
