WW1 Era DEMAG, Imperial German Army, Aufpflanzbarer Grabendolch Or Fixable Trench Knife Bayonet & Scabbard With Integral Belt Loop. Sn 23226 - 23226 An original World War I Imperial German Army, Aufpflanzbarer Grabendolch or Fixable Trench Knife Bayonet, often referred to by collectors as the DEMAG.

The combination knife bayonet has a unique “crank” shaped steel handle and steel cross guard, which is instantly identifiable with bayonet lug slot and button which works as it should. The undamaged clean double edged blade with medial ridge is 6" long (10 ½” overall). It's square shank ricasso is faintly stamped with the Demag roundel and the reverse 'Gesetzlich Geschutzt' (quality assurance / patent mark). The steel crank handle retains its original olive green paint.

British WD 1895 Pattern Socket Bayonet For Martini Enfield .303 Calibre Service Rifles & Scabbard. BAYO 899 - BAYO 899 British Arms using Martini actions continued in use for some time after the introduction of the P1888 magazine rifle, particularly in the colonies. In 1895 some Martini Henry rifles were converted to .303 calibre Martini Enfields and a new pattern bayonet was approved for this rifle on the 4th October 1895. The P1895 Martini Enfield bayonet. The socket bore is narrower than the Martini Henry socket & the locking slot of the P1895 bayonet is now in a different position from the Martini Henry bayonet and when fixed the blade protrudes from beneath the barrel instead of at the side as in the Martini Henry rifle (see page 528 of Kiesling’s Bayonets Of The World The Complete Edition).

British Militia / Volunteers Pattern 1856/58 Yatahgan Sword Bayonet With German Blade By A&AS (August & Albert Schnitzler Solingen), Scabbard & 1897 Slade Wallace Buff Leather Frog. BAYO 901 - BAYO 901 A new British short rifle was introduced in 1856 with an approval date of 24th January. At first it was intended for use by sergeants of infantry and was fitted with the yataghan bayonet like that in service with the artillery. An early prototype short rifle was essentially a shortened Rifle of 1853 (fitted with iron furniture instead of the usual brass) and a sword bayonet with steel scabbard. The bayonet and scabbard for this test model would most probably have been the Artillery pattern. Like the early Artillery carbine bayonets, the Pattern 1856 Sword bayonet for the Short rifle had a groove along the top of the tang for about an inch forward of the mortise slot. It was also fitted with the chequered black leather grips and the locking bolt leaf spring was originally secured by a rivet. The bayonet, scabbard and chape are with sheet steel locket and chape. The short rifle and this sword bayonet were issued to Line regiment sergeants, the Rifle Brigade, the Cape Mounted Rifles and the Royal Canadian Rifles. Until 1858, the sword bayonets were hand fitted to each individual rifle, and so they are described as “non-interchangeable”. From 1858, the use of more machinery enabled closer tolerances and more consistency in the dimensions, and so a new “Interchangeable” bayonet was introduced. Although this was not awarded a separate or new pattern designation, some minor improvements were introduced which has resulted in the designation Pattern 1856/58 Sword bayonet to simplify the reference. Illustrated as B151 on page 114 of Skennerton’s British & Commonwealth Bayonets, this new model has a slightly longer leaf spring for the locking bolt, secured by a screw instead of a rivet. The scabbards were not altered and these are interchangeable between the various yataghan short rifle sword bayonets (the class “Interchangeable” at this time was only applied to items produced at Enfield). This is an excellent example of the 1856/58 Yataghan sword bayonet most likely a Militia / Volunteer piece as it has no WD or Enfield marks. The bayonet is 28 ¼” overall length with a Yataghan form blade length of 22 3/4". The blade has no damage & just small areas of age related staining. One side of the blade has maker mark ‘A&AS’ (August & Albert Schnitzler Solingen, Germany.
The company was in business from approximately 1865 to 1875 and produced bayonets, including those on contract for other nations, such as the 1856 pattern & Other Yataghan style bayonets). It has the correct longer leaf spring for the locking bolt, secured by a screw instead of a rivet. The steel release button works correctly & the pommel has weapon number ‘13’. The grips are undamaged & secured by steel pins. The scabbard is made of black leather with stitched rear seam & correct steel throat mount with frog locket and chape. The scabbard is fitted with original Slade Wallace Buff Leather frog which has a large belt loop and retaining strap with brass buckle. The rear of the frog has ink stencilled date ‘7 (July) 1897’ and other indistinct letters and numbers. All leather & stitching of the scabbard & frog are clean & intact. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 901 (Armoury Bucket)
