Enfield Bayonet stamped "S&S" ?

[VMI Confederate 07]

Good evening everyone,

Recently I purchaced what appears to be P-53 style bayonet. Amazingly enough you can still tell that the socket and the goose-neck were blued. The only stamp still on it reads "S & S".

Any help on the identification of this bayonet would help. I've pretty well exhausted all of my other resources and I've found nothing. Thanks!







Sincerely,

Swinburn & Son, possibly.

Swinburn was not known as a bayonet maker, to my knowledge. And their maker's mark was SWINBURN, not S&S (upside down at that). I am going to have to check my notes on this one.
