WW1 Canadian MKII Ross Bayonet October 1915

A most pleasing example of the Canadian MKII Ross bayonet (Ross Rifle Company, Quebec) with the blade clipped modification, nicely stamped & dated on the pommel 10/15 and still housed in its original 1916 dated leather scabbard with integral belt frog.
This modification was made due to the un-modified blades having a more rounded tip, there were recorded incidents were the blade failed to penetrate the enemy's leather equipment during the heat of battle so measures were taken to rectify this issue, a gruesome thought but possibly the difference between life or death for the Canadian serviceman.
A lovely condition bayonet, excellent leatherwork.
