L1A2 SLR (Round Fuller)

Knife bayonet for use on the L1A2 variant of the 7.62 mm. NATO caliber FN–FAL selective-fire rifle. This bayonet was also used on the 9 mm. F1 submachine gun.

L1A2 bayonets were manufactured 1957–1984 at Small Arms Factory, Lithgow, NSW. The earliest examples had the squared fuller like their British and Canadian counterparts, however L1A2 bayonets are completely devoid of any markings.

Australia changed to the unique rounded fuller in 1960. This is one of those examples.

​

This one is in excellent condition. Blade still retains most of its finish. pommel has no dings/dents and is also in excellent condition. 

​

Scabbard is excellent, original finish is all there apart from a few scrapes in the paint. P37 frog that has been blancoed for parade use is in excellent condition.

​

This was purchased from a Ex service member who used this particular example for parades. 

​

This L1A2 is immaculate.
