Default Unknown Unit on Bayonet
Not insignia as such but anyone know what unit this bayonet belonged to?

It says 'OTC UPM' so presumably an Officer Training Corps? The wooden handle of the bayonet is also stamped 'Australia'.

Not mine but likely to be moved in in the near future.

Many thanks.

I read it as OTC UTM, so University of Tasmania?

David.

Having had another look I can see it's UPM as you said so please ignore.

Saw Uppingham on a list of OTCs but is UPM an accepted abbreviation of Uppingham? It would make sense......

Thanks
