      Are there any marks on it. On eBay you see similar ones advertised as WW2 German issue, but you see made in Germany on them they did not use English on anything in WW2. I guess the ones with made in Germany on there was after east and west Germany got a Sig 9mm pistol with West Germany on it. You really got to be careful on eBay so many that know nothing on what they sale. Nice original issued boatswain pipe you got. I just bought this one but bad photos after I bought it you have to blow up the photos a little and looks like made in Germany looks like I been burnt. https://www.ebay.com/itm/157204532648 Yes, the one I got has made in Germany. You can tell it was turned see the dimple in the bowl most likely Bund issued after the cold war that when you stop seeing made in west or east Germany.

      Hi All. Inherited an eclectic mix from an uncle. Ex WW2RAF officer in Germany 1944-46. German speaking & married German lady. According to my Mother he got to go to a lot of German factories where he `picked` up souveniers! I know from his son he did get some repro stuff (apparently to make ends meet the Germans made a lot of stuff post war in order to satisfy the American demand for stuff? So are these real or not? Been told elsewhere they are but a few people said not! Realise JFS is not too common & condition is exceptional but no paint - so could be factory liberated by my uncle? Thanks - hope to post picks of more stuff as I sort it!

      Interesting that these markings are stamped just below the British broad  arrow property marking.  I have not seen this before.

      I purchased this P1907 from a seller in the U.S. a few years ago to go with my SMLE. While researching it today, I was told by chatGPT that this bayonet contains Japanese markings. Those markings are shown in the third photo. Chat gets "confused" occasionally, so I'm not taking that observation at face value. But its intriguing that it says those are Japanese inspection / acceptance kana markings stamped onto a British Pattern 1907 bayonet after capture. This capture could have occurred during the fall of Singapore, or in Malaya or Hong Kong. Chat suggests that this bayonet may have subsequently been recaptured by the Allies. The markings are too small and faded for my Google Lens Translate to make them out. If anyone can positively identify those markings, and what they mean, this could be interesting to all who read this post. Otherwise, if they're British markings and not Japanese, the meaning of them would also be of interest.
