French M1956 Bayonet and Scabbard for the 49/56 MAS Rifle. 20821:7. - 20821:7
The M1949 MAS rifle was not equipped with a bayonet, but the M1949/56 rifle is supplied with a knife bayonet. There are two variants with different blade grindings and lengths. The bayonet and scabbard are of all steel construction, and the locking system and double ring fitting is unique amongst contemporary bayonets. The MAS-49 is a French semi-automatic rifle that replaced various bolt-action rifles as the French service rifle that was produced from 1949. An improved version called the MAS-49/56 was introduced in 1957 and incorporated lessons learned from service in Algeria, Indochina, and the Suez Crisis. The rifle was shortened and lightened to improve mobility for mechanized and airborne troops, and a knife bayonet was added. See pages 85 & 101 No 223 of ‘The Bayonet Book’ by Watts & White. The blade is 200mm in length (323.85mm overall) and still retains the majority of its paint. The black plastic grips are held with two screws and are in good overall condition. The spring catches work as they should. The all steel scabbard has a hole for a leg strap/lanyard and is accompanied by a green leather belt hook; the stitching and buckle are in good condition. The price includes UK delivery. 20821:7. (French)

WWII Dated U.S. M1905E1/M1 1943 Bayonet and Scabbard for the Garand Rifle. 20821:6. - 20821:6.
This is a nice M1905E1/M1 1943 bayonet that has been cut down from a M1905/M1942 bayonet. This occurred from August 1942 when it was discovered that the M1925 and M1942 bayonets were too long, especially for jungle fighting. The first bayonets merely had cut down blades which are readily identifiable by the fullers which run down to the point. Later bayonets had a new blade with standard fullers. This example has a cut down blade marked to the ricasso with A.F.H. (Union Fork and Hoe Company of Geneva, Ohio) U.S. and a Flaming Grenade (Frankford Arsenal) and 1942. The scabbard is a standard M3 green plastic with a metal throat stamped with U.S. within a flaming grenade. See ‘The Bayonet Book by Watts & White pages 412 & 436.

Brazilian M1908 Hooked Quillon Bayonet and Leather Scabbard by Manufacturer Alex Coppel Solingen. 20821:5. - 20821:5
This is a nice example of a ‘1908’ pattern Brazilian bayonet. The 1908 bayonet can also be found with a plain steel mounted leather scabbard, but this is believed to have been used by other South American nations. The blade length is; 299mm (432mm overall) the muzzle ring is 15.5mm. The maker ‘Alex Coppel Solingen’ is stamped clearly to the ricasso. The number ‘3985’ is stamped to the hook quillon. ‘B’ is stamped to the pommel and ‘134’ is painted to one side of the grips. The scabbard is also the ‘1908’ pattern with a leather body with brass mounts. The blade is in very good condition with staining conducive with its age. The wooden grips, leather and metalwork on the scabbard are in good order with minor scuffs. See page 38 of ‘Bayonets an Illustrated History’ by Martin J. Brayley. The price includes UK delivery. 20821:5. (Box 1)

British P1888 Mk I 2nd Type Enfield Bayonet and Mk II Scabbard. 20821:2. - 2082:1
On the 23rd January 1890 the Director of Artillery approved and authorised the pattern with two rivets to be sealed in substitution for the pattern previously sealed on the 22nd December 1888. The altered specification was approved on the 5th February 1890, but the designation of P1888 Mk I was retained (See No802 on pages 321 & 387 of The bayonet book by Watts & White). This example is in lovely condition, the wooden grips are undamaged, and the double edged blade is excellent. The Mk II scabbard has a brown leather body (stitching and skin are in good condition *wear to the top of the belt loop) with no external chape. The throat is bound with leather with an integral tongue of leather, being approved on 17th December 1901.Early production of the P1888 bayonet was confined to Enfield, but towards the end of 1889 the Wilkinson Sword Company became involved. The ricasso is clearly marked crown over VR (Victoria Regina) & 6’ 97 (June 1897) to one side and EFD (Royal Arms Factory Enfield) below Broad Arrow , crown over 58 E and the bending proof mark.

*Early/Scarce* Danish M1915 Bayonet for the ‘Krag Jorgensen Rifle’ and Steel Scabbard. 20821:1. - 20821:1
Contrary to the current trend for shorter bayonets Denmark, in 1915, introduced the sword bayonet for use on the ’Krag Jorgensen rifle’. This example has unusual aluminium grips rather than the usual wooden (see page 58 No 160 of White & Watts) for a wooden grip version. The blade is T-backed (blade length; 39 ¼ cm, overall; 51 ½ cm). It is a strong thrusting weapon but because of the small dimensions of the hilt it doesn’t lend itself easy to handle. The scabbard is black metal *it appears to have been later painted*. Many of these bayonets were taken from Denmark by Germans in World War Two and issued to their own forces, especially prison camp guards. Danish ex-prisoners of war reported seeing camp guards armed with Krag Jorgensen rifles and equipped with the M1915 bayonet. In 1942 around 60,000 rifles and bayonets were taken by the Germans, and later another 50,000 disappeared. Many of these bayonets were lost during the war and its aftermath and it is therefore hardly surprising that this bayonet is now rather hard to find. There are no manufacturers’ marks to be found on the bayonet or scabbard. The price for this scarce bayonet includes UK delivery. 20821:1.

C1965 Cold War AKM Type II Bayonet & Scabbard for the AK47 Rifle. BAYO 339. - BAYO 339
The improved AKM Type II bayonet was introduced in 1965 and brought with it two significant changes. A squared-off steel pommel was added, to address the fragile nature of the Type I's bulbous plastic pommel. Revolutionary as it was, the Type I design couldn't change soldiers, who seem naturally inclined to use the pommel as a hammer. The second major change was a new scabbard. Advances in plastics technology had reached the point where the scabbard body could be made of moulded plastic, with only a metal end for the wire cutter. This eliminated the need for a rubber insulator, as the plastic scabbard body was non-conductive. The AKM Type II bayonet was produced by Bulgaria, China, Iraq, East Germany, Romania, Russia, and Yugoslavia. Variations were also produced by India and Vietnam. The AK-47 is a Russian combat rifle first used in 1949. It and an updated version called the AKM were used by the Soviet Union's military (which was called the Soviet Army). It was later replaced by the AK-74 and AK-12. The blade is un-fullered, has no markings and measures; 15 cm (27 ½ cm overall) the plastic grips are held with one pin and have the manufacturers stamp of an arrow within a triangle and a leather strap, the metalwork is good and the catch is in working order. The moulded plastic scabbard has its leather belt hook attached, there are minor service wear marks and it has a good patina with ‘941’ - ‘5280’ and the manufacturers stamp of an arrow within a triangle to the lower part. See page 448 No 958 in The Bayonet Book by White & Watts. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 339. (Box 2 All other countries)
