British, Scarce, 1943 Dated, Lanchester S.M.G. Bayonet and Scabbard. BAYO 445. - BAYO 445
This is a Pattern 1907 pattern bayonet manufactured by Wilkinson Sword Company during WWII for use with the Lanchester submachine gun manufactured by the Sterling Armaments Company between 1941 and 1945. The Lanchaster is a copy of the German MP28/II gun and was manufactured in two versions, Mk.1 and Mk.1*; the latter was a simplified version of the original Mk.1, with no fire selector and simplified sights. The gun was mainly used by the Royal Navy during the Second World War, and to a lesser extent by the Royal Air Force Regiment (for airfield protection). The gun was named after George Herbert Lanchester who was charged with producing the weapon at the Sterling Armaments Company. The bayonet is recognisable by the markings to the blade of Crown over G.R. 1907 S294 (Wilkinson Wartime Code) W.S.C. (Wilkinson Sword Company) and 11 43 (November 1943). The other side of the blade bears a crowned Enfield inspection mark. These bayonets were mainly used by the Royal Navy but also used in small numbers by the other services. The scabbards leather, stitching and metalwork are all in very good condition. The metalwork retains most of the white painted finish from Royal Navy issue. See ‘British and Commonwealth Bayonets by Ian D. Skennerton, item B281 pages 230-231. This is a scarce bayonet particularly with R.A.F. regiment markings. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 445.

SOLD SOLD (06/11) *RARE* Pritchard Greener Bayonet for the Webley Mk VI Service Revolver Scabbard and Frog. 21201 - 21201
This unusual bayonet which appeared during WWI was privately manufactured for private sale by the firm of ‘W.W.Greener’. This was the Pritchard revolver bayonet invented by ‘Lieutenant Arthur Pritchard of the 3rd Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment, for use with the British Army's standard issue Webley Mark VI service revolver. It was inspired by Pritchard's experiences of trench-warfare in Flanders where he had been serving since 1915. Having been rejected by The Wilkinson Sword Company Pritchard took his design to the Birmingham gunsmiths W.W. Greener, who manufactured it by modifying surplus obsolete Model 1874 Gras bayonets. Bayonet hilts were of brass or more unusually plain metal, and the bayonet was secured beneath the revolver. It is not known how many of these bayonets were manufactured, but they are now rare. These bayonets are highly sought after and incomplete specimens have been noted as having been fabricated from original parts found when the Greener factory closed. See page 396 No 827/828 of The Bayonet Book by Watts & White. It has a blued 8 ¼ “blade of T-section, brass one-piece grip with cross guard engraved on one side 'Patent/17143/16'. It comes in its blued scabbard with leather belt-frog, both of which are in excellent condition with all stitching intact. The price includes UK delivery. 21201.
