Nice haul!!! 👍

Hello mbec,   That bayonet is a bit of a puzzler.  It seems to be a Dutch Naval version of the model 1895 bayonet for the Dutch Mannlicher rifle. The Naval version was adopted about 1902. From 1895 to 1902 the Navy used the standard pattern. However, both the Naval and standard bayonets were about 18.75inches in overall length, with a blade length of about 14 inches. What is the blade length of your bayonet? Also, as far as I know, the Dutch scabbards were leather. Are there any markings on the scabbard? (I would look very closely around the throat and the finial.) The crown over "T" is an inspector's mark. His name began with a "T," but I've been unable to identify him. There appears to be another inspection mark on the pommel; can you get a close picture of that? That is an interesting bayonet...  

We had these covers kicking around our Q Store boxes in the early 80’s in the TF. Pics of my NZ ^ marked cover. WW2 manufacture. Not quite exactly the same. Here’s my WW2 Brit hessian cover.

OE/WG = Oesterreichische Waffenfabriks Gesellschaft, Steyr, Austria.

Yes, those bloody ammo pouches are tricky! Working on getting it right! Cheers.

I've started noticing HM's on French military medals and I was wondering if these is a site showing HMs and manufacturers.  

This sat quiet for quite a bit with NO input. However, I reached out to a good source, MR JERRY.. here is what he provided for information. Thanks friend!   Yours looks like a mid 1800s wakizashi (short sword) - these were carried by businessmen, mainly for show, but could be used for defence if things broke down.    It looks the Kanjii says "Choshu resident Seiji"  - Choshu is a region, Chōshū was a powerful feudal domain in pre-modern Japan, corresponding to modern-day Yamaguchi Prefecture at the western tip of Honshu Ruled by the Mōri clan, it was renowned for driving the Meiji Restoration in the 1860s and later producing many of Japan's foundational modern prime ministers.   I was unable to find a smith named Seiji.

Really great collection Ted, the entrenching tool is one of the hardest Japanese items to find and yours is an excellent looking example. One small critique is the mix of from ammo pouches with one being commonly referred to as a Navy Landing Force pouch. I always tried to use all leather, all rubberized, or all impregnated canvas pieces but it can be difficult. Well done sir.   Scott

Not in China in  the 30s but on New Guinea, probably Salamaua–Lae March 1942. Believe this is a still from footage where some parts of it was shown on the old The World At War ITV (TV network) series  from England n the early 70s.

Means Legation of Spain, it will not a military unit, a legation ranks bellow an embassy in importance if you like, though I think it ranks above a consulate.

Thank you very much!

It looks similar to a French Model 1874 Gras Bayonet.  Might be a later version ....   -Ski
