About this item
The L1A2 Bayonet was adopted in 1957 and went into production at the Lithgow small
arms factory in 1958. It was used to equip the Australian Army's L1A1 SLR. This rifle was
the standard Australian Assault Rifle between 1959 and 1991. It features a 7 3/4" single-
edged parkerized blade with clipped Bowie-style tip and single rounded fuller. All-metal
gray parkerized hilt and crossguard with muzzle ring. The typical scabbard was parkerized
but this example is painted black and has the correct brass throat (paint chipped and a
couple very shallow dents). These are usually completely unmarked, but this example is
stamped “S44" on the pommel. This is perhaps a unit marking, as some used by
Australian special forces are known to have been unit marked. Overall length 11 5/8", not
including scabbard. Blade near mint, hilt showing minor handling wear.
