She served with Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. Prinz Eugen saw action during Operation Rheinübung, an attempted breakout into the Atlantic Ocean with the battleship Bismarck in May 1941. The two ships destroyed the British battlecruiser Hood and moderately damaged the battleship Prince of Wales in the Battle of the Denmark Strait. Prinz Eugen was detached from Bismarck during the operation to raid Allied merchant shipping, but this was cut short due to engine troubles. After putting into occupied France and undergoing repairs, the ship participated in Operation Cerberus, a daring daylight dash through the English Channel back to Germany. In February 1942, Prinz Eugen was deployed to Norway, although her time stationed there was curtailed when she was torpedoed by the British submarine Trident days after arriving in Norwegian waters. The torpedo severely damaged the ship's stern, which necessitated repairs in Germany. Upon returning to active service, the ship spent several months training officer cadets in the Baltic before serving as artillery support for the retreating German Army on the Eastern Front. After the German collapse in May 1945, she was surrendered to the British Royal Navy before being transferred to the US Navy as a war prize. After examining the ship in the United States, the US Navy assigned the cruiser to the Operation Crossroads nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll. Having survived the atomic blasts, Prinz Eugen was towed to Kwajalein Atoll, where she ultimately capsized and sank in December 1946. The wreck remains partially visible above the water approximately two miles northwest of Bucholz Army Airfield, on the edge of Enubuj. One of her screw propellers was salvaged and is on display at the Laboe Naval Memorial in Germany). The pommel has an etched panel on one side ‘ Kriegsmarine anchor device & Swastika within panel’. The pommel is Waffenamt and has original red felt in the mortise slot. The bayonet has undamaged wood grips. Its steel scabbard is dated ‘41’ (1941) together with manufacturer detail ‘agv’ (Nazi manufacturer code for Berg & Co, Solingen). The ball end of the scabbard is Waffenamt.

**MATCHING NAVAL ANCHOR MARKS**WW1 Era French Troupes Coloniales / Fusiliers-Marins (Marines) Marked Lebel M1886/93/16 Cruciform Epee Bayonet, Scabbard & Leather Frog. Sn 22890 - 22890 The Troupes de Marine are a component of the French Army, not the Navy, despite their name. Their history dates back to 1622 as colonial troops under the French Navy, but they were transferred to the Army in 1900, becoming known as Troupes Coloniales before being renamed Troupes de Marine in 1958. Today, the Troupes de Marine are a versatile force with a primary mission of overseas service, comprising various specialties like infantry, airborne units, and artillery. By the time the Troupes were transferred to the Army the unit names changed from "Marine" to "Colonial" while the Fusiliers-Marins remained part of the French Navy. The Troupes Coloniale were still used in occasional amphibious landings but this was because of the ready availability of units normally based near naval embarkation ports or in colonial garrisons. In the World War I Gallipoli campaign in the Dardanelles, the Corps expéditionnaire d'Orient was more than two-thirds Troupes Coloniale including the 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th Colonial Infantry Regiments and Colonial Artillery. The Troupes Coloniales were however far more likely to see action in African or Asian land campaigns or, during both World Wars in France itself. This is an excellent original example of the French Épée- M1886/93/16 bayonet, complete with its steel scabbard & frog (see page 85 and page 06 item 209 of The Bayonet Book by Watts & White). These bayonets were made for use with the iconic Lebel rifle, these bayonets were widely issued to French forces during World War I and remained in service into World War II. This example marked to the Marine Troupes Coloniales / Fusiliers-Marins is in excellent condition, with a bright lightly blued 20 ¼” long cruciform steel blade free from rust or damage. The blade is straight and tapers to a pin sharp point and has French military inspection marks. The white metal hilt with steel muzzle ring and knurled lever release catch which works correctly are clean. The muzzle ring block is numbered 25530 and has the Naval anchor mark of the Troupes Coloniales / Fusiliers-Marins. The scabbard is original and retains a smooth finish with no dents—rare for pieces of this age. The throat of the scabbard has matching Naval anchor mark, French military inspection marks and has faint number ***56. The scabbard is fitted with original leather frog which has the correct large belt loop with retaining strap and steel buckle. The leather has a faint indistinct impressed manufacturer roundel. All leather and stitching are clean & intact. The price for this excellent rare to find French Marines Lebel bayonet set includes UK delivery. Sn 22890 (all other countries box 2) £475.00 |

Rare, British, Pattern 1903 Dress Bayonet Converted from a Pattern 1888 Mark III Bayonet for the Mk1 III Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) rifle. Sn - 22656 The P1903 design combined the P1888 blade and crosspiece with a new pommel design. Many P1888 Lee Metford bayonets were converted to the 1903 pattern. The P1903 had a short service life as the blade was considered not long enough, having less reach when combined with the shorter rifle. The P1903 was produced for British use from 1903–1907, at which time the P1907 was adopted. This is a good example of a Pattern 1903 bayonet which was converted from a Pattern 1888 long lee Enfield bayonet. The bayonet has traces of its original nickel plating which was used on parade bayonets. The 298mm double-edged blade retains its original bright finish. The blade has a flattened diamond cross-section with a raised medial ridge and terminates in a spear point. The ricasso bears an Enfield inspection stamp 2 ’97 (the original date the blade and bayonet were made for the Long Lee Enfield 1903 (the bayonet pattern). The hilt is stamped 2 CLY (The 2nd County of London Yeomanry) 483 (bayonet number). The ricasso is stamped with the War Department broad arrow, an Enfield inspection stamp and a X. Wilkinson maker’s mark, bend test stamp and inspection stamps. The obverse ricasso bears the crown stamp of King Edward VII, the pattern date, 1903 and the manufacture date of November 1902. This is a conversion from a P1888 bayonet to a P1903 carried out in England by the Enfield. The press-stud locking mechanism works perfectly and the wooden grip are in good period condition. The black leather scabbard is in good condition as is the steel chape and locket. The steel furniture retains a nice patina finish. This is an excellent example of this increasingly hard to find British P1903 bayonet. See Skennerton pages 181-184. The price includes UK delivery. (British Box 1) Sn 22656 £345.00 |

BAYO 500 - BAYO 500 In 1902 Experimental Long and Short bayonets were trialled to succeed the 1888 pattern Bayonets.
