The "jungle carbine" or to give it its correct name the Rifle No 5 Mk I is essentially a shortened and lightened No 4 rifle, designed to make it easier to use in the Far East and Burma. Due to the large conical flash suppressor, the No 5 Mk I could only mount the No. 5 blade bayonet.
Largely price on this will depend entirely on a couple of factors....
History: is it just an old bayonet, or was it use in battle, and can this be proved? A war weapon that has been used 'in the heat of battle' often fetches more from collectors who like genuine used war kit. If the bayonet just spent its time sat in a stores depot in Hong Kong, or Malaya, then it has no real history worth mentioning.
Condition: Is it still wrapped in the original waxed protective paper that it was packed in at the Enfield factory? Is it in the correct frog and scabbard used in the Burmese campaign? Or is it just a rusty old blade that's been sat in the back of a cupboard for years?
For all of these reasons, placing a price on it is not easy, a rusty old blade with no history may well sell for £5-10 on the UK eBay (about $10-20US) probably more if you try to sell it to yanks (they think British kit is desirable for some reason)
A 'used' bayonet in good condition with its original frog with some sort of supporting evidence will sell for anything up to £100 (about $200US) again more if selling to gullible yanks!
