*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. The frog is webbing and in very good order. The price includes UK delivery. 22426:18. (07 Box 2) £395.00
