UNAVAILABLE UNAVAILABLE Martini Henry Pattern 1876 Socket Bayonet and MkII Scabbard. 22426:45. - 22426:45
The Martini Henry Pattern 1876 socket bayonet, officially named the ‘Bayonet common long’ was nicknamed the ‘Lunger’ by the troops. The blade is triangular with blunt edges and was purely a stabbing weapon. P1876 bayonets were initially only marked with the War Department arrow and Enfield inspection marks. From July 1882, the date of manufacture was added to the factory stamps. The majority of the common bayonets were manufactured by the Royal Small Arms factory Enfield. The black leather scabbard has brass mountings with a full-length internal spring to retain the bayonet in the scabbard and maintain the scabbards rigidity. The original P1876 bayonet scabbard, the approved pattern of June 1876 had three brass rivets. From July 1877, new scabbards were manufactured with only two. This bayonet was made between July 1877 and July 1882, as indicated by the absence of a date mark on the bayonet and the presence of two rivets in the scabbard. The further absence of a unit designation fits with the likelihood of this bayonet being manufactured and issued in preparation for the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879. The bayonet measures 25 inches overall with a blade length of 21.7 inches with a socket 3 inches in length. The brass mounted leather scabbard has a broad arrow over W.D. and an Enfield inspection stamp on the top locket. The stitching is slight loose ¾ of the way down. One stud is missing from the chape. The blade carries 3 marks see images. The number ‘195’ is stamped to the shoulder. Number ‘182’ is stamped to the teardrop frog stud. The price includes UK delivery. 22426:45. (Martini Bayonet Box)

German WWI M1898/05 Early Type ‘Sawback Bayonet’ Earlier First Pattern Scabbard and Leather Frog. 22426:19. - 22426:19
The Bayonet M1898/05 should succeed the M1898 long bayonet. It had a much stronger design but was still very long. In the beginning of the Great War, it came with high ears and without flash guard. From 1915 the M1898 ‘early type’ were missing the ‘ears’ and is characterised by the omission of the thin sheet of steel as muzzle fire protection on top of the grip. The original German First World War butcher blade bayonet was used with the Mauser Gewehr 98 (GEW 98) the standard issue service rifle of Imperial Germany. This fine example was manufactured by ‘C.G. Haenel SUHL’ (The Prussian commissioner for firearms manufacturing, Carl Gottlieb Haenel, began producing bicycles and weapons in 1840 — a combination which was not uncommon at the time as it required similar means of production and skills) as stamped on one side of the ricasso. The top of the spine is stamped with a date code ‘W 15’ (1915) and inspection stamps. The blade and teeth are in very good order. The wooden grips are held with two studs and are undamaged only showing minor signs of use related wear. The earlier first pattern leather scabbard throat carries the Royal Cypher of Kaiser Wilhelm II, King of Prussia above crowned acceptance stamp), the leather, stitching and metalwork are all intact . (See ‘White & Watts’ The bayonet Book, pages 114 & 123, No 268.) The price includes UK delivery. 22426:19. (Box 3)

The other side of the blade has a broad arrow and several inspection stamps. The grips are wood, held on by two screwbolts, and are in very good condition. The pommel has the number 533 crossed out.

*Matching Numbers* Argentine M1909 Bayonet and Scabbard for the Mauser Rifle. 22426:10. - 22426:10
In 1875 Argentina adopted the robust and popular Remington rifle, and it is believed that a brass hilted sabre bayonet similar in appearance to the French M1842 sabre bayonet was issued with this rifle. A specimen of a brass hilted bayonet of this type has been noted with Argentine crest and was possibly of German or Belgian manufacture. In 1891 a German made Mauser rifle was adopted together with a sword bayonet, probably manufactured to Argentine design by Weyesburg and Kirschbaum of Solingen. A similar bayonet to the M1891 was used on the Mauser rifle. This later bayonet has however, two wooden grip plates secured by two rivets. In the M1909 bayonet the press stud for the internal coiled spring is on the right side of the pommel. The dimensions are exactly the same as the M1891 series. This superb example is in excellent order. The polished blade is true and clean. The ‘Modelo Argentino’ inscription is clear (usually lost by filing). The obverse states the manufacturer ‘Weyesburg and Kirschbaum of Solingen’. One side is stamped ‘G 1631’ which is replicated on the scabbard. The scabbard is all steel with its original drab olive paint. See pages 1 & 2 of White & Watts for reference. The price for this excellent pair includes UK delivery. 22426:10. (Other Countries Box 2)
