Sort of a rough grouping, but, they do belong together, if you have to work it out, that's fine, too.
Bracelet is Northern Thai, Southern Burmese style. Bayonet would of course be a 1917 (Enfield or Remington) or a P1914 as shown, it would probably have had a more modern scabbard to match the other items.
The receiver was hot-blued by some "heathen" long before I got a hold of this Winchester Model 12 Trenchgun. The serial is absolutely correct and in the specific-range it is an authentic trench gun, but the receiver would have been parkerized, or factory blued. The stock looks too clean to be original, although it is inspector marked and has the correct cartouche and plastic butt-plate.
There is a ratty MKII Gerber in the picture somewhere, it is an original in the 1973 serial range
(Note: it has the sword in the stone is at an angle on the ricasso.)
This Trench-gun was one of my first acquisitions in the US (Pawnbroker on Lankershim Blvd.,) and was just returned to my collection today, after being away for about a decade, so it's nice to have it back, thought I'd photograph it, to show it off a bit!
