Vintage TOLEDO BLADE BAYONET w/ SCABBARD Scarred Grip! - eBay (item 310080469587 end time Sep-07-08 18:29:51 PDT)

This vintage bayonet with scabbard is marked on one side, "ET18753C" with an emblem showing a sword and the words "Toledo, I.N.I." The other side has another embossed emblem.

I'm not sure if it's WWII or Vietnam era. I've seen bayonets just like this listed both ways on eBay.

WWII British Army No. 4 MK II 5 BAYONET, SCABBARD, FROG - eBay (item 310055027158 end time Jun-03-08 18:38:05 PDT)

This WWII British Army bayonet is marked, "No. 4 MK II, 5" on one side a7789" on the other side. I see no maker's mark on the scabbard. I can't read what's stamped on the back of the frog except it starts out with a "2".

An eBay seller sold a bayonet like this and said it was for an Enfield rifle. Another seller said it was for probing mines which explains the somewhat screwdriver shaping on the tip.
