An Indian 1907 Pattern, Sanderson bayonet dated August 1917 with sharpened tip (False Edge) and leather scabbard. This bayonet has been re-issued in WWII.

The bayonet has a polished 17" blade with fullers. The ricasso is stamped with Indian inspection marks ‘24’ and on the other side with ‘1907 10’14 -Oct 1914 manufacture’.

British (Chromed for Parade) SLR L1A3 Dated 1959 Bayonet by Birmingham Small Arms with Scabbard and Webbing Frog. BAYO 391. - BAYO 391
The British L1A3 bayonet was one of three primary bayonets used with the 7.62mm L1A1 rifle. When this rifle pattern was adopted, its original bayonet was replaced with a British-designed version, adhering to the mid-1940s convention of using a short, bowie-tipped knife blade. The L1A3 improved upon the initial L1A1 design by incorporating a recessed catch-stud, reducing the likelihood of accidental release. First adopted on December 31, 1958, the L1A3 was manufactured by Enfield (ED) and Birmingham Small Arms (B). This bayonet, which is dated 1959, is made by BSA and features a transitional “waisted” Cross guard, supporting that it is an early L1A3 variant. It has the broad arrow acceptance stamps. In the mid-1960s, the blade fuller of the L1A3 was shortened, resulting in a very long ricasso. Marked on the cross guard: B, marked on the ricasso: B59 – dating it as 1959. The chromed scabbard is the No. 5 Mk. I. with round frog stud. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 391. (Box 1)
