*Early/Scarce* Danish M1915 Bayonet for the ‘Krag Jorgensen Rifle’ and Steel Scabbard. 20821:1. - 20821:1 Contrary to the current trend for shorter bayonets Denmark, in 1915, introduced the sword bayonet for use on the ’Krag Jorgensen rifle’. This example has unusual aluminium grips rather than the usual wooden (see page 58 No 160 of White & Watts) for a wooden grip version. The blade is T-backed (blade length; 39 ¼ cm, overall; 51 ½ cm). It is a strong thrusting weapon but because of the small dimensions of the hilt it doesn’t lend itself easy to handle. The scabbard is black metal *it appears to have been later painted*. Many of these bayonets were taken from Denmark by Germans in World War Two and issued to their own forces, especially prison camp guards. Danish ex-prisoners of war reported seeing camp guards armed with Krag Jorgensen rifles and equipped with the M1915 bayonet. In 1942 around 60,000 rifles and bayonets were taken by the Germans, and later another 50,000 disappeared. Many of these bayonets were lost during the war and its aftermath and it is therefore hardly surprising that this bayonet is now rather hard to find. There are no manufacturers’ marks to be found on the bayonet or scabbard. The price for this scarce bayonet includes UK delivery. 20821:1. £495.00 |

C1965 Cold War AKM Type II Bayonet & Scabbard for the AK47 Rifle. BAYO 339. - BAYO 339 The improved AKM Type II bayonet was introduced in 1965 and brought with it two significant changes. A squared-off steel pommel was added, to address the fragile nature of the Type I's bulbous plastic pommel. Revolutionary as it was, the Type I design couldn't change soldiers, who seem naturally inclined to use the pommel as a hammer. The second major change was a new scabbard. Advances in plastics technology had reached the point where the scabbard body could be made of moulded plastic, with only a metal end for the wire cutter. This eliminated the need for a rubber insulator, as the plastic scabbard body was non-conductive. The AKM Type II bayonet was produced by Bulgaria, China, Iraq, East Germany, Romania, Russia, and Yugoslavia. Variations were also produced by India and Vietnam. The AK-47 is a Russian combat rifle first used in 1949. It and an updated version called the AKM were used by the Soviet Union's military (which was called the Soviet Army). It was later replaced by the AK-74 and AK-12. The blade is un-fullered, has no markings and measures; 15 cm (27 ½ cm overall) the plastic grips are held with one pin and have the manufacturers stamp of an arrow within a triangle and a leather strap, the metalwork is good and the catch is in working order. The moulded plastic scabbard has its leather belt hook attached, there are minor service wear marks and it has a good patina with ‘941’ - ‘5280’ and the manufacturers stamp of an arrow within a triangle to the lower part. See page 448 No 958 in The Bayonet Book by White & Watts. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 339. (Box 2 All other countries) £195.00 |

Italian WWI 1891/38 Carcano L. Franchi fixed Blade Bayonet and Leather Frog. BAYO 333. - BAYO 333 The folding bayonet was found to be a poor design. The blade frequently wore loose and it was expensive and time consuming to produce. This led to the manufacture of a fixed blade version, and a number of folding bayonets were converted to fixed blades. This is a very nice fixed version, the release button works and the wooden grips are in good condition only showing minor signs of service wear. Serial number (N73272) 3 and L. FRANHCI is stamped on the side. The handle is 4 “, the blade 7 “and the overall length is 11 “. It comes with its correct 1891/38 scabbard which retains the majority of its paint and its rare leather frog which is in very good order and has a lovely patina. See page 166 of Bayonets and illustrated history by Martin J. Brayley. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 333. (Box 2) £275.00 |
