Bayonet Recon,

Here is the link to the article on the FT-17 found in Afghanistan. Thanks to Al Superczynski for posting this link on rec.models.scale.

Fantastic!

Some FT were used during the 1919 Anglo-Afghan war...

As you'll notice, the picture shows a FT with the round, cast turett, similar to the one found by the GIs.

kaleu, Thank you for posting the information. That is very interesting. Luckily they had someone there who recognized what it was.

Another case of that old adage...
