This is an early M 1903 bayonet. The first models were converted from M 1888 MkI, II and III model blades and a new pommels to fit the M.L.E. rifle. This particular one was made from an old, 6 '95 dated, Lee Metford blade. The bayonet was converted in India what was cheaper than doing this in England. Made for only 4 years. It was replaced by the longer M 1907
The M 1903 was used for a very long period and served in two wars.
Interesting bayonet!
