CUT DOWN VERSION OF THE P1903 BRITISH KNIFE - ORIGINAL

A rare British P1903 bayonet for the Mk1 III Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) rifle, that has been cut down to a small knife size.  Includes the cut down sheath.

The P1903 design combined the P1888 blade and crosspiece with a new pommel design.  Many P1888 Lee-Metford bayonets were converted to the 1903 pattern.  The P1903 was produced for British use from 1903-1907, at which time the P1907 was adopted.

The blade has a flattened diamond cross-section with a raised medial ridge and terminates with a spear point. 

The obverse ricasso bears the crown stamp of King Edward VIII, the pattern date, 1903 and the manufacturer date (not clearly visible).
