Australian Owen Mk I Sub Machine Gun 1907 Pattern Bayonet with Lithgow Marked Blade and No. 1 Scabbard. 22534:6. - 22534:6 The Owen Mk I bayonet was introduced in 1944 along with Owen Mk I/I, although the I/I model was at first known as the Mk II. The Mk I is merely the No I (Patt. 1907) with a newly made 10” blade, having a fuller of only 5”. The wartime Owen bayonets were made at Orange, therefore the OA mark. More of the Owens were produced at Lithgow in 1953 and these have the MA mark such as this one. The ricasso is stamped with inspection marks and ‘MA’ and on the other side with a Broad arrow and ’53’ (1953). The blade is in excellent condition. The bayonet has a straight waisted cross guard. The slab wood grips are both intact and are secured with two screw bolts. The pommel has the push button release, which operates smoothly and clearance hole. The No 1 late scabbard has a large frog stud along with three rivets showing on the locket. Its leather is in good condition and is stamped ‘Mangrovite TD’ with a War Department Arrow. (see page 278 & 279, item A13 in Skennerton's 'British & Commonwealth Bayonets book). The price includes UK delivery. 22534:6. (07 Box 1) £275.00 |

Czechoslovakian V-24 Bayonet Scabbard & Frog. 22534:4. - 22534:4 The Czechoslovakian VZ–24 bayonet is a significant artifact representing a transitional period in European military history. Originally designed for the VZ-24 Mauser rifle, this bayonet became one of the most widely produced and distributed blade designs of the 20th century. The final production variant, manufactured after the Communist takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1948, reflects the geopolitical and industrial changes of the era. Following the 1948 Communist government reforms, VZ–24 bayonets were produced until 1950, coinciding with the cessation of VZ-98N rifle production. These bayonets are distinguished by their marking ‘tgf’ a letter code introduced by the new regime. This coding system was inspired by the German practice during World War II and designated Zbrojovka Brno, the state-controlled arms manufacturer, as the producer. The ‘tgf’ marking is a hallmark of Communist-era production, symbolizing the centralized control of arms manufacturing and the strategic importance of Brno’s facilities. The bayonets from this period retained the robust, functional design of earlier models, characterized by a fullered blade, steel pommel, and wooden grip panels. The scabbard, typically of steel construction, was designed to endure harsh field conditions. The VZ–24 bayonet was not only a standard issue for Czechoslovakian forces but also an export item, contributing to its widespread use across numerous countries. Its compatibility with Mauser rifles made it a favoured choice in various military arsenals worldwide. Stamped ‘tgf’ to the pommel and frog stud of the scabbard. In very good order. The price includes UK delivery. 22534:4. (Other countries Box 3) £225.00 |

AKM Type II Bayonet and Scabbard for the AK47 Assault Rifle. 22534:1 - 22534:1 The AK47 assault rifle was introduced during a period in history when the bayonet's future was in debate. In the decade following the outbreak of the Second World War, most of the major powers produced an infantry rifle without the ability to mount a bayonet. Without a single exception, everyone was redesigned to accept a bayonet or replaced with a rifle that did within a few years of its introduction. The AK47 was Russia's entry in this debate, being designed without the intent that it mounts a bayonet. Having a change of mind, in 1955, the Russians opted for a bayonet. The AK47 bayonet hilt borrows heavily from the Swedish M1914 bayonet, another example where the bayonet was added as an afterthought. Both the AK47 bayonet and scabbard were patterned after Russia's first knife bayonet, the M1940 bayonet used with the 7.62 mm. Tokarev SVT–40 self–loading rifle. Although adequate, the dual muzzle-ring arrangement made the AK47 bayonet awkward, at best, for any other use. The AKM rifle was introduced in 1960. Among other things, the updated AK47 variant included a bayonet lug. Much easier and cheaper to manufacture than the AK47, production and use of the AKM went worldwide. The inclusion of a bayonet lug allowed for a more conventional bayonet. However, the new bayonet design, what we refer to as the AKM Type I, was far from conventional. It was as groundbreaking as the Kalashnikov itself. It incorporated several features, making for an incredibly versatile bayonet. The one-piece moulded plastic grip & pommel; and stainless-steel blade made the bayonet impervious to rust and rot. The unfullered clip-point blade had saw teeth along the spine. The steel scabbard body had a lug at the point that engaged a window cut into the blade, so that bayonet and scabbard could be combined as a wire cutter. The scabbard body had a rubber insulator, making it safe to cut electrified wire. The belt hanger was a clip-on affair that was cheap and easy to replace. A retention strap was also included, for extra grip when using as a combat knife. A truly revolutionary design that continues to influence bayonet design to the present day. An unusual design, it has a bowie type unfullered 14 ½ cm blade with a serrated back and whole near the point which engages with the scabbard to form a wire cutter. The grips are wooden, and the scabbard is a later orange composite. The leather straps are in place and in good order. The price includes UK delivery. 22534:1 (Other Countries Box 1) £145.00 |

*Scarce* U.S Model 1873 Trowel Bayonet. 22534:2 - 22534:2 Developed to serve as both a combat bayonet and entrenching tool, the Trowel bayonet (also known as the rice bayonet) for the Remington Rolling Block rifle was patented in April of 1872. It had a unique way of attaching to the muzzle of the rifle in that the rear of the bayonet socket rotated to allow fixing. Earlier trowel scabbards had a brass hook to attach to a belt. This is a good original example 14 ½ “long and 3 ½ “at its widest. The double-edged blade tapers to a point and the reverse has medial ridge. The bayonet has the correct knurled grip section which rotates as it should. The bayonet is undamaged. There is some age-related staining which is as to be expected. The grip retains its original finish. See pages 410 & 429 of Watts & White for reference. The price includes UK delivery. 22534:2 (USA Box 2) £475.00 |
