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 .

*RARE* WWI Dated British Patt 1907 Bayonet Scabbard & Frog by Manufacturer Vickers. 22426:18. - 22426:18
This is a scarce WWI dated Vickers ‘1907’ bayonet that has had its quillon removed on re-furbishment. The blade is stamped ‘Crown over G.R. 1907 8’18 (dating it August 1918) and an encircled V above Vickers. The production figures for Vickers bayonets were around 10,000 in total, in comparison to 2,000,000 for Wilkinson. In ‘1913’ it was decided to remove the quillon and all further bayonets were made without the quillon and those that came in for refurbishment had it removed, (see Watts & White No 820 pages 323 & 393). 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. The bayonet has a bend test Enfield Birmingham mark *see image*. The scabbard is the ‘No1 MkII’ which is showing signs of service-related wear with a round frog stud.

*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)

*Excellent/WWI British ‘P13’ Mk1 Parade Sword Bayonet and Grafton & Knight Scabbard. 22426:7 - 22426:7
This is a fine example of the ‘P13’ bayonet which has been polished for parade, which although the designated ‘P13’, fit the ‘P14’ rifle and was not introduced until ‘1916’. It is marked to the blade with ‘1913’ and ‘Remington’ in a circle. The other side of the blade carries British inspection stamps cancelled by the slashes with U.S. below. The vast majority of these bayonets were made in America by ‘Remington and Winchester’ with only a few made in England by ‘Vickers’. The wooden grips have two grooves on either side to distinguish it from the ‘P1907’. The scabbard is also an American made version M3 green U.S. belt fittings with steel locket and chape, interchangeable with the ‘P’07’.

*Scarce* British Patt 1907 Hooked Quillon Bayonet with 1st Pattern Scabbard & Frog, by J.A.C. Marked York & Lancaster Regiment. 22426:6. - 22426:6
When the British military adopted the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield rifle, its barrel was shortened to 25.2 inches (640 mm), 5” (130 mm) shorter than the preceding Magazine Lee-Enfield. British military strategists were fearful that the British infantry would be at a disadvantage when engaged in a bayonet duel with enemy soldiers who retained a longer reach. Bayonet fighting drills formed a significant part of a contemporary British infantryman’s training. Soldiers were drilled in various stances and parrying techniques against an enemy also armed with rifle and bayonet. The York and Lancaster Regiment was a line infantry regiment of the British Army that existed from 1881 until 1968. The regiment was created in the Childers Reforms of 1881 by the amalgamation of the 65th (2nd Yorkshire, North Riding) Regiment of Foot and the 84th (York and Lancaster) Regiment of Foot. The regiment saw service in many small conflicts and both World War I and World War II until 1968, when the regiment chose to be disbanded rather than amalgamated with another regiment, one of only two infantry regiments in the British Army to do so). The 1907 bayonet was made to the design of the Japanese Arisaka. The quillon of the P1907 MkI bayonet was subsequently found to be unnecessary, and on the 29th of October 1913 list of changes it is recorded that a P1907 sword bayonet without the hook on the crosspiece had been sealed to govern future manufacture. See pages 323 & 393 No 819 for reference. Marked to the ricasso ‘1907’ 11/08. J.A.C. manufacturer (James A. Chapman) along with numerous inspection marks. ‘Y.L.R. 724’ (York & Lancaster Regiment) is stamped to the pommel. The wooden grips are in good order and intact. The blade is true, with only light age-related staining. Blade length 43 cm and 55 ¼ cm overall. The 1st Pattern scabbard is double stitched thick leather with an internal chape. It is marked with the Broad Arrow and the manufacturer E.F.D (Enfield). The webbing frog is marked to the rear *see images*. The price for this scarce set includes UK delivery. 22426:6.

*Scarce* French M1886/93/16 Epee Lebel Bayonet Manufactured Without Quillon with Scabbard and Hanger. 22426:4. - 22426:4
The model M1886/93/16 Bayonet was standard issue to French soldiers fighting in the second half of WW1 after 1916 who were issued the Lebel rifle. The M1886 bayonet is an usual design which has a long thin cruciform Blade with a peculiar locking device just behind the muzzle ring and an all metal grip. Originally the bayonets had a nickel-silver handle and a hooked quillion. By 1916, with the need to conserve nickel for the war effort, the handles were made of brass. About the same time they were manufactured without the quillion. In 1893 a bayonet with a new press button was adopted, and this is known as the M1886/93. The design of the Lebel bayonet was again altered in 1916 so that it no longer incorporated a quillon. This is known as the M1886/93/16. The bayonets have a cruciform blade and tapered tubular scabbards. Overall length 63 ½ cm, Blade length 51 ½ cm. The bayonet has number ‘14526’ along with inspection marks around the mechanism. The blade is straight and true with minor age-related staining. The scabbard is equally as good with inspection marks. The leather hanger is supple, and all of the stitching is intact. See pages 85 & 96 No 209 of White & Watts for similar. The price includes UK delivery. 22426:4. (Other Countries Box 2)

British L3A1 Bayonet and Scabbard for the SA80 Rifle. 22416:2 - 22426:2
This is an excellent L3A1 bayonet which was introduced in 1985 to fit the new SA80 service rifle. The L3A1 socket bayonet is based on the FN FAL Type C socket bayonet with a clip-point blade. It has a hollow handle that fits over the SA80/L85 rifle's muzzle and slots that lined up with those on the flash eliminator. The blade is offset to the side of the handle to allow the bullet to pass beside the blade. It can also be used as a multi-purpose knife and wire-cutter when combined with its scabbard. The scabbard also has a sharpening stone. The use of contemporary bayonets by the British army was noted during the Afghanistan war in 2004. It was an innovative design incorporating many new features. The scabbard is made of Phonolite plastic. A nice set of the current British bayonet.
