*RARE* WWI Dated British Patt 1907 Bayonet Scabbard & Frog by Manufacturer Vickers. 22426:18. - 22426:18
This is a scarce WWI dated Vickers ‘1907’ bayonet that has had its quillon removed on re-furbishment. The blade is stamped ‘Crown over G.R. 1907 8’18 (dating it August 1918) and an encircled V above Vickers. The production figures for Vickers bayonets were around 10,000 in total, in comparison to 2,000,000 for Wilkinson. In ‘1913’ it was decided to remove the quillon and all further bayonets were made without the quillon and those that came in for refurbishment had it removed, (see Watts & White No 820 pages 323 & 393). The other side of the blade has a broad arrow and several inspection stamps. The grips are wood, held on by two screwbolts, and are in very good condition. The pommel has the number 533 crossed out. The bayonet has a bend test Enfield Birmingham mark *see image*. The scabbard is the ‘No1 MkII’ which is showing signs of service-related wear with a round frog stud. The frog is webbing and in very good order. The price includes UK delivery. 22426:18. (07 Box 2)

*Excellent/WWI British ‘P13’ Mk1 Parade Sword Bayonet and Grafton & Knight Scabbard. 22426:7 - 22426:7
This is a fine example of the ‘P13’ bayonet which has been polished for parade, which although the designated ‘P13’, fit the ‘P14’ rifle and was not introduced until ‘1916’. It is marked to the blade with ‘1913’ and ‘Remington’ in a circle. The other side of the blade carries British inspection stamps cancelled by the slashes with U.S. below.

The scabbard is also an American made version M3 green U.S. belt fittings with steel locket and chape, interchangeable with the ‘P’07’.

*Scarce* British Patt 1907 Hooked Quillon Bayonet with 1st Pattern Scabbard & Frog, by J.A.C. Marked York & Lancaster Regiment. 22426:6. - 22426:6
When the British military adopted the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield rifle, its barrel was shortened to 25.2 inches (640 mm), 5” (130 mm) shorter than the preceding Magazine Lee-Enfield. British military strategists were fearful that the British infantry would be at a disadvantage when engaged in a bayonet duel with enemy soldiers who retained a longer reach. Bayonet fighting drills formed a significant part of a contemporary British infantryman’s training. Soldiers were drilled in various stances and parrying techniques against an enemy also armed with rifle and bayonet. The York and Lancaster Regiment was a line infantry regiment of the British Army that existed from 1881 until 1968. The regiment was created in the Childers Reforms of 1881 by the amalgamation of the 65th (2nd Yorkshire, North Riding) Regiment of Foot and the 84th (York and Lancaster) Regiment of Foot. The regiment saw service in many small conflicts and both World War I and World War II until 1968, when the regiment chose to be disbanded rather than amalgamated with another regiment, one of only two infantry regiments in the British Army to do so). The 1907 bayonet was made to the design of the Japanese Arisaka. The quillon of the P1907 MkI bayonet was subsequently found to be unnecessary, and on the 29th of October 1913 list of changes it is recorded that a P1907 sword bayonet without the hook on the crosspiece had been sealed to govern future manufacture. See pages 323 & 393 No 819 for reference. Marked to the ricasso ‘1907’ 11/08. J.A.C. manufacturer (James A. Chapman) along with numerous inspection marks. ‘Y.L.R. 724’ (York & Lancaster Regiment) is stamped to the pommel. The wooden grips are in good order and intact. The blade is true, with only light age-related staining. Blade length 43 cm and 55 ¼ cm overall. The 1st Pattern scabbard is double stitched thick leather with an internal chape. It is marked with the Broad Arrow and the manufacturer E.F.D (Enfield). The webbing frog is marked to the rear *see images*. The price for this scarce set includes UK delivery. 22426:6.

British L3A1 Bayonet and Scabbard for the SA80 Rifle. 22416:2 - 22426:2
This is an excellent L3A1 bayonet which was introduced in 1985 to fit the new SA80 service rifle. The L3A1 socket bayonet is based on the FN FAL Type C socket bayonet with a clip-point blade. It has a hollow handle that fits over the SA80/L85 rifle's muzzle and slots that lined up with those on the flash eliminator. The blade is offset to the side of the handle to allow the bullet to pass beside the blade. It can also be used as a multi-purpose knife and wire-cutter when combined with its scabbard. The scabbard also has a sharpening stone. The use of contemporary bayonets by the British army was noted during the Afghanistan war in 2004. It was an innovative design incorporating many new features. The scabbard is made of Phonolite plastic. A nice set of the current British bayonet. See Skennerton item B329, pages 266 & 267 also Martin J. Brayley ‘An illustrated history of bayonets’ Pages 144-147. The price includes UK delivery. 22426:2 (Box 1)
