If it's for a #1 Mk 3 /* then it has to be a Pattern 1907 https://tinyurl.com/r93u9gw which doesn't sound like anything out the the ordinary, so be careful as to what you pay. A few points.

1...Be prepared to pay extra and get a scabbard. Too many around minus scabbards and the scabbards add considerably to the "partnership" value.

2...They get listed frequently on Trade Me and https://tinyurl.com/tajvqpz is just one an example .

3...Before buying, compare prices of the SOLD 1907 bayonets on TradeMe

as there are dreamers around believing they have a rare ware antique and price it accordingly. REMEMBER the value's starting point is what it sells for, not what they ask for it.

With over 5 million made by the Brits alone just in WW 1, and that's not counting India Australia etc and WW 2, I'm surprised that the dreamers don't also consider 303 bullets as being in the same rare category.................some of them do.
