British pattern 1888 bayonet used on a Lee Metford rifle. Due to rust it's difficult to see the markings but on one side of the ricasso it is marked with the numbers '8' and '94' as well and "Wilkinson London" on the other side of the ricasso it has the bend proof mark and war department mark as well a crown with either the number '35' or '85' below it, can't really see due to the rust. The pommel is marked "M.C. 105" but it looks like someone tried to scratch it out. It looks like the metal parts of the scabbard were once painted a khaki brown but most of the paint is long gone. Also note the marks carved in the wooden handle.
See condition in pictures. I don't close auctions early so don't bother asking.
