WWII Period Royal Navy Midshipmans Dirk/Short Sword and Scabbard. 21436. - 21436
A very good original example of a Midshipman's Dirk (The rank of midshipman originated during the Tudor and Stuart eras, and originally referred to a post for an experienced seaman promoted from the ordinary deck hands, who worked in between the main and mizzen masts and had more responsibility than an ordinary seaman, but was not a military officer or an officer in training. The first published use of the term midshipman was in 1662. The word derives from an area aboard a ship, amidships, but it refers either to the location where midshipmen worked on the ship, or the location where midshipmen were berthed). This excellent example is accompanied by its original leather and gilded scabbard. The hilt has an attractive Lionshead pommel with the backstrap formed as the lions mane, black sharkskin grip bound with brass twist wire which is all complete. A good amount of gilt remaining. The crossguard with acorn finials, and crowned fouled anchor. The 18” blade, beautifully engraved for three quarters of its length on both sides. Some minor old staining, the floral decoration, crowned VR cypher and fouled anchor is bright and clear. The black leather scabbard with gilded mounts, the uppermost complete with twin hanging rings. The leather body is solid *opening beneath the top metalwork - not visible*, and the stitching is loose in parts. A very good, early untouched example, which are now proving hard to find.

*Scarce Wrongly Dated 1918* U.S. Model ‘1917’ Remington Bayonet and Scabbard. 21432. - 21432
This is a nice clean ‘P1917’ dated ‘1918’ by Remington in error. Remington mistakenly used the manufacture date 1918 in place of the pattern designation. The bayonet should be stamped ‘1917’ .This error was soon rectified and 1918 stamped ‘P17’ bayonets are scarce. The bayonet made in ‘WWII’ for the ‘P17 30-06’ rifle. It can be differentiated from the ‘P13’ which it resembles by the markings on the blade. This example is marked to the blade with ‘1918’ over Remington in a circle, meaning manufacture by ‘Remington’ (founded in 1816 by Eliphalet Remington (as E. Remington and Sons) in Ilion, New York, it was one of the oldest gun makers in the US and claimed to be the oldest factory in the US that still made its original product) who made over 2 million bayonets. The other side of the blade carries the flaming grenade and eagles head over ‘U, S’. and inspection marks. The grips are wooden *with minor age related marks* with two grooves cut across them which is where it resembles the ‘P13’ and was interchangeable with the ‘P13’ except for the ‘P17’ rifle being 30.06 instead of the British .303. The scabbard which is solid with stitching intact is the standard American ‘P17’ version with belt hooks attached and U.S. government inspector mark "EJB" to the rear. These bayonets were often issued to the Home guard in WWII. See ‘Skennerton’ item B289 page 236. A scarce piece, for the collector. The price includes U.K. delivery. 21432. (US Bayonets)
