*Rare* German Made Model 1895 Chilean Mauser Bayonet with Scabbard and Frog. BAYO 400. - BAYO 400 Here is a rare bayonet used by the Boer forces. It is also known as the Chilean Mauser bayonet, simply because most of these bayonets never made it into the ZAR. The Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek’s port (Lourenco Marques, now Maputo in Mozambique – former Greek colony) was blockaded by the British fleet and consequently the consignment was sent to Chile. A good, untouched example of a Model 1895 Chilean Mauser Bayonet, for use on the 7mm Mauser Rifle. These bayonets were produced from 1895–1901. This example was made under contract by Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co of Solingen, Germany (Weyersberg, Kirschbaum, and Cie. was founded in 1883 with the merger of two family-owned sword manufacturing and marketing companies in Solingen, Germany: Gebruder Weyersberg, founded by Wilhem, Peter and Johann Ludwig Weyersberg in 1787 and WR Kirschbaum & Cie, founded by Wilhem Reinhordt Kirschbaum. The newly founded company used traditional techniques for sword making and each of their then employees specialised in one task in the sword making process. This was in accordance to the Division of Labour act devised by the Sword makers Guild of Soligen). The fullered blade is marked WEYERSBURG KIRSCHBAUM & Co SOLINGEN to one side with the three intertwined circles on the ricasso which are the trademark of the famous steelworks, Krupp (pronounced 'Kroop'), who supplied the blade steel. The three rings symbolized the Radreifen—the seamless railway wheels patented in 1851 by Alfred Krupp. At the turn of the Century, when these bayonets were made, Krupp was the largest company in Europe, and Chilean crest. The blade length is 25cm (37 ¼ cm overall). The wooden grips are held with two pins are showing signs of age and use but are solid. The steel scabbard has ‘E6134’ to the frog stud. The webbing frog is in good order. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 400 (Other Countries Box 2) £275.00 |

*Scarce* No7 Mk1 L with Black Grips Scabbard and Frog by B.S.A. BAYO 399. - BAYO 399 The No7 MkI Land service bayonet was designed in 1944. A grand total of 176,000 were produced. The design was perfected by the Wilkinson Sword Co., who produced 1,000 bayonets in 1944. Mass production was carried out by four other makers from 1945 until 1948. These four makers and their production figures were: Birmingham Small Arms Ltd. - 25,000; Elkington & Co. Ltd. Birmingham - 20,000; Royal Ordinance Factory, Poole – 30,000 and Royal Ordinance Factory, Newport – 100,000. The design was intended to be a universal one for use with the rifle or the Sten MKV sub machine gun. The spike bayonet for the No4 Lee Enfield rifle was only good for killing or opening cans of condensed milk! The troops desired a bayonet which looked better and could also be used for a variety of other purposes. A new bayonet, the No5 MKI which had been designed for the No5 Jungle Carbine had proved popular and formed the basis for the design work for the No7 bayonet. The design was a clever combination of the fittings from the two. By pressing a catch, the knife could also convert from a bayonet to a fighting knife. However, after an accident with a .303 round hitting the muzzle ring the bayonet was only issued to troops armed with the Sten V. However, it did continue to see ceremonial service fitted to the No4 rifle. As can be seen the blade is a "Bowie" style in bright steel. The grips were generally a red bakelite but could also be found in black as this one is. Marked to the pommel with ‘M47A’ which denotes manufacture by Birmingham Small Arms Ltd. The scabbard and frog are in good order, with the frog being dated ‘1943’. See page 243 of Skennerton for reference. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 399. (Box 3) £375.00 |

British (Chromed for Parade) SLR L1A3 Dated 1959 Bayonet by Birmingham Small Arms with Scabbard and Webbing Frog. BAYO 391. - BAYO 391 The British L1A3 bayonet was one of three primary bayonets used with the 7.62mm L1A1 rifle. When this rifle pattern was adopted, its original bayonet was replaced with a British-designed version, adhering to the mid-1940s convention of using a short, bowie-tipped knife blade. The L1A3 improved upon the initial L1A1 design by incorporating a recessed catch-stud, reducing the likelihood of accidental release. First adopted on December 31, 1958, the L1A3 was manufactured by Enfield (ED) and Birmingham Small Arms (B). This bayonet, which is dated 1959, is made by BSA and features a transitional “waisted” Cross guard, supporting that it is an early L1A3 variant. It has the broad arrow acceptance stamps. In the mid-1960s, the blade fuller of the L1A3 was shortened, resulting in a very long ricasso. Marked on the cross guard: B, marked on the ricasso: B59 – dating it as 1959. The chromed scabbard is the No. 5 Mk. I. with round frog stud. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 391. (Box 1) £345.00 |
