No 9 Rifle Bayonet Scarce South African Issue.

An interesting South African made and issue No 9 Bayonet made by the Armaments Corporation of South Africa (ARMSCOR). The blade profile differs significantly from its British counterpart in that the tip has no clipped point, instead it has a spear point and a bit shorter. The scabbard differs too, instead of using the typical No9 scabbard, which was too long, they fitted it with the M1 bayonet scabbard, bit it is still too long for the blade.
This wonderful example of a scarcer No 9 variant, it comes in excellent original condition, with just a slight rust bloom to one area of the bulk of the bayonet, please see pictures. The blade is nice and clean as is the scabbard, this has just some scratches.
It measures 11 inches long.
