Swedish M1867 Cruciform Socket Bayonet for the 12.17mm Remington Rifle. BAYO 370. - BAYO 370 This is an M1867 socket bayonet for the 12.17mm Remington Rifle (The Remington M1867 was a rolling-block rifle, the first rifle using metallic cartridges to be adopted by the Norwegian and Swedish armies. The 12.17 mm calibre was chosen because the Swedish army had approximately 30,000 new muzzle-loading M1860 and breech-loading M1864 rifles in 12.17 mm calibre in stock, rifles that were suitable for conversion to M1867 rolling-block rifles. It was adopted in 1867 and could take either a socket or a sabre bayonet). The standard issue was the socket bayonet and this has a cruciform blade which is in very good condition and a central locking ring. The blade is 19” long and the socket 2 ¾ “with a muzzle ring diameter of approximately 18mm. The shoulders are stamped; ‘4320 An. Ve H C.F’ (Presumably inspectors marks) with the number "6350. There is also a regimental mark of "XIX R.B" and "No 473" with ‘FL’ to the underside. An unusual socket bayonet in great condition which is not common on the collectors market and with these markings is worthy of further research. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 370.

ENGLISH MADE French Model 1866 Chassepot Sword Bayonet with Brass Grip & Steel Scabbard by Reeves of Birmingham. BAYO 369. - BAYO 369 The Chassepot bayonet was the first of the French sabre bayonets to have a hooked quillion. This design feature was quite popular in the late 19th Century, when the bayonet was considered a form of fencing. When parrying the enemy’s thrust, the soldier was to use his own bayonet to deflect the enemy blade and the quillion, like the quillion on a sword was intended to keep the enemy's blade from continuing downward; in this case sliding down the length of the rifle to strike the soldier’s left arm and hand holding the fore stock of his rifle. This is a nice example of the French model 1866 Chassepot sword bayonet (See 'An Illustrated History of Bayonets’ by Martin J. Brayley pages 70-71. This model was manufactured by several countries. The U.S.A also utilised this bayonet for the Remington Rolling Block.

Reeves supplied the government with arms and made a variety of guns, swords and bayonets. Charles Reeves Jr was made bankrupt in 1869 and the stock sold off). The blade is 578mm-700mm overall.
