On 3rd April 1944 a special bayonet was approved for Parachutists being intended as a dual purpose bayonet and machete, for use with the No. 1 Rifle.

Plate A24 on page 285 of the author’s book illustrates one of these bayonets. The image is reproduced in our image 2).

This is an excellent, original, example of the extremely rare Australian made MK 1 Machete Bayonet. It has a distinctive 11 ¼” richly blued heavy Machete style blade (16" overall). The blade has a small 'War Dept arrow' on one side and no other markings. The cross guard muzzle ring and wood slab grips are undamaged.
