WW1 Ross Rifle, MkII Bayonets that fit the Ross Rifle MkIII.
These are quite good samples priced to sell.
The Ross Rifle MkIII was used by the Canadian Army in France/Belgium during WW1 up until mid 1916 when they were replaced by the Lee Enfield SMLE. However, over 600 Ross MkIII rifles were issued and used until the end of war by the British and Canadian snipers as it was best suited in that role where it excelled.
The MkII bayonet was modified to be more effective in combat by reshaping the end to penetrate better. These three samples have all been modified which indicates they likely saw service overseas during WW1. They are well marked as per pictures.
