WWII Dated Australian 1907 Pattern Bayonet and No1 Scabbard. BAYO 354. - BAYO 354 An Australian 1907 Pattern, 4th Pattern, bayonet with 'SLAZ' marked grips and later style No. 1 scabbard. About 1927, bayonet production ceased and was re-commenced late in 1940. Ricasso markings from 1940 are different, including the inspector's marks. The bayonet shop was transferred from Lithgow to Orange in July 1942. The wood room, which made up rifle furniture as well as bayonet grips, was removed from Lithgow to the Slazenger Sports Goods factory in Sydney in 1941. After Japans entry into the war in the Pacific, Australian bayonet development moved rapidly into newer, shorter and specialised patterns and so the long 1907 bayonets manufactured in WWII were short lived and consequently rare. The bayonet has a blackened 17" blade with fullers. The ricasso is stamped with inspection marks ‘MA’ Mangrovite Arsenal "1907 9’ 42" (September 1942) to one side and a bending mark, Broad Arrow and ‘OA’ Orange Arsenal’ to the other. The blade is in excellent condition. The bayonet has a straight wasted cross guard and the slab wood grips are secured with two screw bolts. The pommel is marked ‘C 75708’ and 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. It is leather and in good condition and is stamped ‘MA’ Mangrovite Arsenal. (See page 276-277, item A10 in Skennerton's 'British & Commonwealth Bayonets book). The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 354. (07 Box 2) £245.00 |

*U.S. Winchester Model ‘1917’ Bayonet and Scabbard. BAYO 352. - BAYO 352 This is a nice clean ‘P1917’ bayonet made in ‘WWII’ for the ‘P17 30-06’ rifle. It can be differentiated from the ‘P13’ which it resembles by the markings on the blade. This example is marked to the blade with ‘1917’ over a ‘W’ in a circle, meaning manufacture by ‘Winchester’ and consequently a scarcer model, as ‘Winchester’ only made 500,000, compared to ‘Remington’ who made over 2 million. The other side of the blade carries the flaming grenade over ‘U,S’ and bending mark. The grips are wooden with two grooves cut across them which is where it resembles the ‘P13’ and was interchangeable with the ‘P13’ except for the ‘P17’ rifle being 30.06 instead of the British .303. The scabbard is good with leather, metalwork and stitching in good order *see images* is the standard American ‘P17’ version. These bayonets were often issued to the Home guard in ‘WWII’.

It can be differentiated from the ‘P13’ which it resembles by the markings on the blade.

Remington and Sons) in Ilion, New York, it was one of the oldest gun makers in the US and claimed to be the oldest factory in the US that still made its original product) who made over 2 million bayonets.

Rare Vickers 1918 07 Sword Bayonet by Vickers with MkII Leather Scabbard. BAYO 350. - BAYO 350 The quillon of the P1907 Mark I was subsequently found to be unnecessary, and on the 29th October 1913, List of changes 16755, it is recorded that a P1907 sword bayonet without the hook on the crosspiece had been sealed to govern future manufacture. In December 1915 it was suggested at official level that a hole be bored through the pommel of the P1907 bayonet to pass directly through the bottom of the locking slot. The function of this hole was to release dirt which accumulated in the groove, allowing the bayonet to be locked on to the rifle. Early in 1916 the committee dealing with this matter approved of the change and asked that the decision be brought to the notice of General Headquarters in France in case it is desired to take steps locally to effect this alteration to bayonets now in service. The blade length is 17” with the overall length being 21.75”. The blade is marked; 1907 – 2’ 18 (February 1918) VICKERS (In 1911 the company name was changed to Vickers Ltd and expanded its operations into aircraft manufacture by the formation of Vickers Ltd (Aviation Department) and a Vickers School of Flying was opened at Brooklands, Surrey on 20 January 1912.
