I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one that's trying to research this I guess we all have a problem like that now don't we!
Anyway I thought the this bayonet lug was neat because not only did it have the Imperial acceptance marking but it had a second crown on it as well. I wonder what that was for. But I think the more of us keep trying to research this topic maybe more information will come out on it in the future
Very cool never seen that marking before. But how often due folks look closely at certain parts such as the front sights! My guess would be front sights like this were being supplied by smaller companies. If it was done in WWII why not during WW1. Still it makes you wonder what some of these smaller companies were making prior before the outbreak of war.
