Many thanks, Didier.
In my abject ignorance, what I am not yet clear on is:
1) Were these manufactured in the UK under licence (Remington being a US company) or in the US?
2) If manufactured for the British, why would some of these bayonets be issued (back) to US troops... would it be due to changes/improvements in rifle development?
3) What precisely do the small reference letters/numbers at the base of the blade refer to? Presumably the crown and Broad Arrow refer to British inspection/control of some sort?
With thanks,
JT
