WW1 Royal Scots & WWII Home Guard P'13 Bayonet

A shed found, well service used, British 1913 pattern sword bayonet that bears a scarce unit mark to the 10th (Territorial) Battalion Royal Scots.
This bayonet was later re-issued to the Home Guard during WW2 as there are remnants of a black over paint along with being fitted with a 39'pattern leather frog.
The P'13 was of British design but contracted out to two U.S manufacturers one being Winchester and the other Remington, this example being a Remington.
The walnut grips are in good order and undisturbed, slight rust to surface of bolts, the pommel catch has seized but I have left as found.
One face of the 17 inch long single fullered blade is in good service used condition whilst the other face does have much surface scratching running along its full length, possibly from a course sharpening stone but appears not to be recent.
The scabbard is post WW1 production and dated 1923 , the stitching is intact and in very good order, unfortunately there is weakness and a partial break where the black painted chape is attached, there is some movement present but absolutely fine when bayonet is housed.
The 39' pattern frog is a bit tired with the retaining strap broken but a totally original wartime marriage.
The 2/10 Battalion RS were on operational duties after the 11th November Armistice of 1918 against the communist red army, returning to Scotland in June 1919.
A scarce RS marked bayonet, could easily be improved.
