Bayonet ID

[LifeB4]

The only markings I can see is the crown. Length of blade 13.5 inch, Height 2.5 inch, Width 1.25 inch, Total length 18 inch, Muzzle ring just under an inch. Dimensions are a little off as there has been damage. Found in Eastern Ontario Canada. Would love to know what you think as to name and date.

Also would love to also know what type/name of gun it was used on. Thanks

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard LifeB4! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

2nd - I searched Google and found something close on 1747 Artillery Carbine Bayonet

I think its a French one
You can find apicture of a similar one on this website Fusil 1766, ou 1763 léger.
Since I can't speak french I also don't know what it is exactly.

Hi, Don't think it's French as it has a crown stamped on it.

Hi, Don't think it's French as it has a crown stamped on it.

What is it then? And why can't it be French then?

 

[LifeB4]

I don't really have a good explanation. Just thought non British countries wouldn't have a crown.
