*Rare* Japanese ‘Thai Contract’ Arisaka Short Model Bayonet. BAYO 615. - BAYO 615 This is a rare Japanese short ‘Arisaka’ bayonet with hooked quillon with no visible makers mark. In late December 1941 Thailand signed an agreement with the Japanese and then on 25 January 1942 declared war on Britain and the United States. It was a decision which split the government with the Thai foreign minister Direk Chaiyanam and the liberal leader Pridi Phanomyong advocating resistance against the Japanese. The Arisaka rifle is a family of Japanese military bolt-action service rifles, which were produced and used since approximately 1897, when it replaced the Murata rifle family, until the end of World War II in 1945. The most common models include the Type 38 chambered for the 6.5×50mmSR Type 38 cartridge, and the Type 99 chambered for the 7.7×58mm Type 99 cartridge, which is comparable in power to a modern .308 Winchester round. The blade measures 297mm (398mm overall) with fullers both sides. The grips are wooden held by two screw bolts and oval washers (similar to the A, B, C & D versions) and the pommel carries Thai lettering. The scabbard is a ball tipped metal version with minor use related dings. See ‘Bayonets of Japan’ by Raymond.C.Labar, page 75 for similar. The price includes UK delivery.

*Rare* Nazi M98 Dress Bayonet & Frog Stamped R.F.V. Reich Finance Administration. 22296. - 22299 The Reich Finance Administration 'Reichfinazverwaltung’ (RFV), also called the Reich Tax Administration was a centralized administration in the German Reich from 1919 to 1945 that was responsible for the assessment and collection of taxes . At the top of the three-tier administrative system was the Reich Finance Ministry , followed by state finance offices (from 1937 called Oberfinanzpräsidien) and the tax offices. The highest superior was the Reich Minister of Finance. In the German Empire, the collection of taxes was primarily a matter for the federal states; each municipality decided independently on whether, how and when . In villages, levies and taxes were generally only paid personally once a year directly to the mayor, in cities to the treasurer. After the founding of the Weimar Republic, on August 6, 1919, the Committee of States approved the draft law for the establishment of the Reich Financial Administration. The Nazi M98 dress bayonet and scabbard, the dress sidearm for military and civilian uniformed formations was designated the M98 Dress Bayonet. This bayonet represented a stylised form of the S. 84/98 bayonet purchased by the individual for wear with the walkout dress uniform and was worn by the mainly non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel. This rare early dress bayonet has a rifle mortise and push button release. This is the long version with a 10 ¼ “blade which carries the makers logo of “Paul Weyersberg & Co Solingen" (The Paul Weyersberg & Co. Waffenfabrik company was founded in 1840. It registered with the Solingen chamber of commerce on February 1, 1921. Weyersberg manufactured: cutlery, knives and swords. Between the two world wars they continued to manufacture edged weapons. Come the Third Reich era, Weyersberg became one of the largest suppliers of edged weapons in Germany. etched on the ricasso). The crossguard has the initials clearly stamped ‘R.F.V.’ of the Reich Finance Administration which is covered above. The polished steel blade is in excellent condition.

Australian M1907 Parade Bayonet and Scabbard with Regimental Numbers. 22256. - 22256 This is an Australian 1907 Pattern bayonet with 'SLAZ' marked grips and regimental markings. In around 1927 bayonet production ceased and was re commenced late in 1940. 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, and the mark "Slaz" on the grips indicates manufacture there. 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 polished 17" blade with fullers. The ricasso is stamped with inspection marks and ‘OA’ (Orange Arsenal) and on the other side with "1907 2 43" (February 1943). The blade is in excellent condition. The bayonet has a straight waisted crossguard. The slab wood grips are both stamped "Slaz" and are secured with two screw bolts. The pommel is regimentally marked ‘D 17749’ to one side 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 stitching are in good condition and is stamped "Mangrovite 43 (1943).

*Rare* WWII Mark I Sten Bayonet Scabbard and Frog for the Sten Mk II Sub Machine Gun. 22153. - 22153 The Sten bayonet Mark I was the standard bayonet for the Sten Mk II submachine gun. Most of the bayonets were disposed of making originals extremely rare. The Sten bayonet Mk I was a socket bayonet just like the No. 4 Bayonet. The blade was copied from the No 4 Mk II* bayonet meaning the bayonet is just a metal spike with no milling. The bayonet itself was made of sheet steel and was the most simplistic British bayonet of World War II. The bayonet could be detached for use as a hand-to-hand combat weapon. As the Sten bayonet Mk I was a copy of the No 4 Mk II* bayonet the blade and socket were made by separate manufacturers. The blades are just spikes which were made by B. & J. Sippel who usually made stamped cutlery and Laspee Engineering in Isleworth. The sockets were made and then joined with the spikes to make the bayonet by Grundy who made metal products and N.J. Edmonds who made combined around 90,000 bayonets the majority being made by Grundy. In very good order with the above mentioned ‘B & JSL’ stamp. *Soldier image for reference purposes only-not included in the sale*. The price includes UK delivery. 22153. (Box 3) £395.00 |

British P1853 Martini Henry/Enfield Socket Bayonet and Scabbard. 22231. - 22231 The 1853 pattern bayonet was the common socket bayonet used by nearly every British infantryman of the day. The triangular tapered socket bayonet was the first universal issue British Army bayonet to have a locking ring, modelled on a French design. It was introduced with the new Pattern 1853 Enfield Rifle Musket. This British-made accoutrement is an original angular socket bayonet made for the Model 1853 Enfield musket. The Enfield bayonet has the distinction of being the first universal issue bayonet to the British Army that employed a locking device. The blade was made of the best cast steel and had an iron socket welded to it. The bayonet with its French-style locking ring has a triangular tapered blade with fullers on each face and is carried in a brass-mounted leather scabbard. The blade has a slight downward curve to allow for easier reloading of the muzzle-loading Pattern 1853 rifle. The blade measures 43.5cm. Tubular iron socket with high bridge at rear, Triangular blade tapering towards narrow down-turned point. All three sides of blade are fullered.

*Near Mint & Complete* Sudanese Contract German AR10 Bayonet *And Combination Tool*. 22260. - 22260 The Sudanese model rifle was the first AR10 with a bayonet which was designed for the rifle. In 1958 the Sudanese Military contracted with Samuel Cummings company Interarmco, to supply 2,508 AR-10 Battle Rifles. 2,500 standard rifles and 8 adapted to mount optical sights as sniper rifles. One of the requirements for the Sudanese rifles were that they were to be able to mount bayonets, something the AR-10 did not have a capability to do in its then current form. This inability to mount a bayonet was overcome by a rather simple and ingenious addition to the rifle. A cast and machined sleeve was fitted over the barrel between front sight base/gas block and the flash hider. This was pinned to the barrel just forward of the front sight base/gas block. It had machined into the underside of the bayonet adaptor a longitudinal rail to which the bayonet could be attached. The Sudanese contract AR-10 bayonet has a more symmetrical blade than that of the SG-42 and has no ‘blood groove’ (properly known as a fuller) which hints at the fact that it is seen more of a utility knife than as a ‘cut and thrust’ fighting knife/bayonet. It has been established that the SG-42 was manufactured by Waffenfabrik Carl Eickhorn in Solingen, Germany (determined by its cof marking / WaA19 inspection code), whereas the toolkit was made by Robert Klaas of Solingen (inspection code: ltk). Inside the bayonet’s grip are a number of tools which detach from the grip and can be used for rifle maintenance. The tools also include a bottle opener and a corkscrew. In regard to the AR-10 Sudanese bayonet, the Eickhorn company does not deny being the manufacturer of the Sudanese contract bayonet, they simply cannot confirm that they were the maker, since all relevant factory records have been lost. In the Dutch AR-10 archives, Interarmco (i.e. Samuel Cummings) does not disclose the name of the manufacturer, but refers only (in the pertinent correspondence with A.I.) to “the Solingen manufacturer” of this knife-bayonet for the Sudanese contract. The combination tool in the centre folds up and snaps into the handles of the bayonet. A cover swivels out of the way to expose a chamber for the ‘worm’. When the corkscrew is pulled out, the cover is swivelled back, and a notch engages with the worm to lock it in place. Blades of issued bayonets are marked with the serial number on one side of the ricasso ‘3009’ in this case and with ‘Interarmco Reg. Pat. Germany’ to the other side. It is contained in its original plastic scabbard with pressed steel belt loop. This scarce bayonet with even scarcer toolkit is in near perfect condition. The price includes UK delivery. 22260.
