British 1887 MKIII Sword Bayonet and Scabbard. BAYO 165. - BAYO 165
The pattern 1887 MKIII is distinctive in that there are no fullers in the blade. The Wilkinson as this one is, are clearly marked on the ricasso, and the contractor was given discretionary power as to the mode of securing the cross piece, by riveting or brazing. The blade is 46 ½ cm (60 ¼ cm overall). There is a WD and arrow to one side of the ricasso and ‘181 above crown and ‘89’ (manufactured in 1889) above ‘Wilkinson Sword Company London’ amongst other inspection stamps (see pictures). The leather chequered grips are held with two pins and are in very nice condition. The leather scabbard thought to have been used by Indian troops is in equally good condition with the brass furniture, leather and stitching all in good condition. The chape has a ‘24’ imprinted and other stamps on the throat. See ‘British & Commonwealth Bayonets’ by Ian D. Skennerton and Robert Richardson. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 165. (Box 3)

*VERY RARE* British Experimental Bayonet, For the Farquhar-Hill Automatic Rifle. Sn 10880:39. - 10880:39
A British Experimental Bayonet for the Farquhar-Hill Rifle (no scabbard). These bayonets were made by shortening an existing 1097 pattern bayonet and re-shaping the tip for the trials in 1924 but very few were done at the time. We believe to be a later conversion and would still fill a gap in any serious British collection. The bayonet is a shortened 1907 pattern bayonet. It has a single edge blade with fullers that reach the tip. The tip is shaped. It has a straight cross guard with muzzle ring. The ricasso is stamped on one side with the War Department 'Crows Foot' and inspection marks and on the other it has "1907 8 15 Remington", (August 1915). The bayonet has slab wood grips, and they are secured with two screw bolts. The pommel has a push button release. The bayonet has a 7 ½ " blade and is 12 ½ " overall. It has no scabbard. (see page 203 in Skennerton's British & Commonwealth Bayonets Book for reference). The price includes UK delivery. Sn 10880:39. (Box 3)

British Brunswick 1st Type Pattern 1837 Bayonet Manufactured by Enfield. 22448. - 22448.
This Brunswick 1st Type bayonet was built at Enfield & dated 1839. The Brunswick rifle was a large calibre (0.704 inches or 17.9 millimetres) muzzle-loading percussion rifle manufactured for the British Army at the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield in the early 19th century. Its name is derived from the historical German state of Brunswick because the British were experimenting with Hanoverian percussion cap technology during the period Great Britain and Hanover (1714–1837) had the same head of state. The P1837 Brunswick bayonet is a rather cumbersome bayonet with a leaf spring shaped blade. The cross guard and hilt are brass, and the leaf spring is integral with the press button which is situated midway on the side of the grip. A leather washer is fitted to the blade where the ricasso meets the cross guard. This example shows a bright sound blade with brass down turned cross guard. The double-edged blade with short central fuller has slight spots of staining on both sides of the blade. The brass grip is excellent with original spring and button. ‘2 C’o 87’ is stamped to the pommel. See pages 292 and 356 No 713 of Watts & White for reference. Blade length; 55 ½ cm (67 ¼ cm overall). The price includes UK delivery. 22448. (Bucket)

The Home Guard (initially Local Defence Volunteers or LDV) was an unpaid armed citizen militia supporting the 'Home Forces' of the British Army during the Second World War. Operational from 1940 to 1944, the Home Guard comprised more than 1.5 million local volunteers otherwise ineligible for military service, such as those who were too young or too old to join the regular armed services (regular military service was restricted to those aged 18 to 41) and those in reserved occupations. Excluding those already in the armed services, the civilian police or other civil defence volunteer organisations, approximately one in five men were Home Guard volunteers. Their primary role was to act as a secondary defence force in their home locality in case of invasion by the forces of Nazi Germany. Approximately 5,000,000 Pattern 1907 bayonets were made in Britain during World War I.

The Pattern 1907 bayonet was used by the British and Commonwealth forces throughout both the First and Second World Wars.

Martini Henry Pattern 1876 Socket Bayonet and MkII Scabbard. 22426:45. - 22426:45
The Martini Henry Pattern 1876 socket bayonet, officially named the ‘Bayonet common long’ was nicknamed the ‘Lunger’ by the troops. The blade is triangular with blunt edges and was purely a stabbing weapon. P1876 bayonets were initially only marked with the War Department arrow and Enfield inspection marks. From July 1882, the date of manufacture was added to the factory stamps. The majority of the common bayonets were manufactured by the Royal Small Arms factory Enfield. The black leather scabbard has brass mountings with a full-length internal spring to retain the bayonet in the scabbard and maintain the scabbards rigidity. The original P1876 bayonet scabbard, the approved pattern of June 1876 had three brass rivets. From July 1877, new scabbards were manufactured with only two. This bayonet was made between July 1877 and July 1882, as indicated by the absence of a date mark on the bayonet and the presence of two rivets in the scabbard. The further absence of a unit designation fits with the likelihood of this bayonet being manufactured and issued in preparation for the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879. The bayonet measures 25 inches overall with a blade length of 21.7 inches with a socket 3 inches in length. The brass mounted leather scabbard has a broad arrow over W.D. and an Enfield inspection stamp on the top locket. The stitching is slight loose ¾ of the way down. One stud is missing from the chape. The blade carries 3 marks see images. The number ‘195’ is stamped to the shoulder. Number ‘182’ is stamped to the teardrop frog stud. The price includes UK delivery. 22426:45. (Martini Bayonet Box)
