Don't have one of those, but I do have a bayonet that looks like the one mounted on the 2A1 Enfield in this Wiki photo.
 It is about 16 inches long and includes a metal case/scabbard.

 Were these general issue or just for a particular unit? EG: Marines or Special forces?

Peter,
The USMC in the Pacific Theater were issued the Robesons, not too many returned. This one appears to be unissued/unused as the edges don't appear to have been damaged or sharpened and the scabbard is perfect.

Bought this years ago and still have it.
The prices on these things are really going out of sight...

My friend's bayonets have the "Remington", "1913" and ordinance proof mark (flaming bomb) on them. I tried to apply a small amount of cornstarch on the markings so they would show up better in the pictures, but that didn't work. We're trying to sell his Stevens 520-30 WWI trenchgun with the bayonets, ammo, slings and ammo pouches and we may have worked out a deal. If so, I'll be driving down to Cincy next weekend.
