C1802-1805 4” Socket Bayonet for the Brown Bess Muzzle Loading Flintlock Muskets by Manufacturer John Gill. BAYO 630 - BAYO 630
Brown Bess socket bayonets named after the weapon they were made for (Brown Bess" is a nickname of uncertain origin for the British Army's muzzle-loading smoothbore flintlock Land Pattern Musket and its derivatives. The musket design remained in use for over a hundred years with many incremental changes in its design. These versions include the Long Land Pattern, the Short Land Pattern, the India Pattern, the New Land Pattern Musket, and the Sea Service Musket) were the standard bayonet of the 18th century for the British army and continued in use until C1842 (see item 656 of the bayonet book by Watts & White where a Brown Bess socket bayonet with 4” long socket example is illustrated and page 286 of the same book). The typical triangular blade is 404mm in length and it measures 521mm overall length. The 4” long socket’s internal diameter is 26mm and is stamped with maker ‘John Gill’ (This bayonet was made under contract to the E.I.C by John Gill of Birmingham, England between 1802 and 1805). The bayonets blade is straight, and the metal work of the bayonet has just light staining consistent with age and no rust. The price for this very nice bayonet includes UK delivery. BAYO 630.

WWI Dated P1907 Bayonet with 2nd Pattern Scabbard with Brass Fittings by Wilkinson. BAYO 402. - BAYO 402
This is a nice Wilkinson ‘1907’ bayonet that has had its quillon removed on re-furbishment. The blade is stamped ‘Crown over 1907 10’17 (dating it October 1917) and ‘Wilkinson’. The production figures for 1911 were only 32,706 at ‘Enfield’, but the bayonet was also made in large quantities by ‘Wilkinsons’ and others.

The other side of the blackened blade has a broad arrow and several inspection stamps. The grips are wood, held on by two screwbolts, and are in excellent condition. The scabbard is the 2nd pattern with a teardrop frog stud.

*Scarce* No7 Mk1 L with Black Grips Scabbard and Frog by B.S.A. BAYO 399. - BAYO 399
The No7 MkI Land service bayonet was designed in 1944. A grand total of 176,000 were produced. The design was perfected by the Wilkinson Sword Co., who produced 1,000 bayonets in 1944. Mass production was carried out by four other makers from 1945 until 1948. These four makers and their production figures were: Birmingham Small Arms Ltd. - 25,000; Elkington & Co. Ltd. Birmingham - 20,000; Royal Ordinance Factory, Poole – 30,000 and Royal Ordinance Factory, Newport – 100,000. The design was intended to be a universal one for use with the rifle or the Sten MKV sub machine gun. The spike bayonet for the No4 Lee Enfield rifle was only good for killing or opening cans of condensed milk! The troops desired a bayonet which looked better and could also be used for a variety of other purposes. A new bayonet, the No5 MKI which had been designed for the No5 Jungle Carbine had proved popular and formed the basis for the design work for the No7 bayonet. The design was a clever combination of the fittings from the two. By pressing a catch, the knife could also convert from a bayonet to a fighting knife. However, after an accident with a .303 round hitting the muzzle ring the bayonet was only issued to troops armed with the Sten V. However, it did continue to see ceremonial service fitted to the No4 rifle. As can be seen the blade is a "Bowie" style in bright steel. The grips were generally a red bakelite but could also be found in black as this one is. Marked to the pommel with ‘M47A’ which denotes manufacture by Birmingham Small Arms Ltd. The scabbard and frog are in good order, with the frog being dated ‘1943’. See page 243 of Skennerton for reference. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 399. (Box 3)

An Indian 1907 Pattern, Sanderson bayonet dated August 1917 with sharpened tip (False Edge) and leather scabbard. This bayonet has been re-issued in WWII. As in Australia and Britain, India adopted a modification for sharpening of some No I bayonets (in 1926 the Patt.1907 bayonet nomenclature was changed, in line with Britain).

British (Chromed for Parade) SLR L1A3 Dated 1959 Bayonet by Birmingham Small Arms with Scabbard and Webbing Frog. BAYO 391. - BAYO 391
The British L1A3 bayonet was one of three primary bayonets used with the 7.62mm L1A1 rifle. When this rifle pattern was adopted, its original bayonet was replaced with a British-designed version, adhering to the mid-1940s convention of using a short, bowie-tipped knife blade. The L1A3 improved upon the initial L1A1 design by incorporating a recessed catch-stud, reducing the likelihood of accidental release. First adopted on December 31, 1958, the L1A3 was manufactured by Enfield (ED) and Birmingham Small Arms (B). This bayonet, which is dated 1959, is made by BSA and features a transitional “waisted” Cross guard, supporting that it is an early L1A3 variant. It has the broad arrow acceptance stamps. In the mid-1960s, the blade fuller of the L1A3 was shortened, resulting in a very long ricasso. Marked on the cross guard: B, marked on the ricasso: B59 – dating it as 1959. The chromed scabbard is the No. 5 Mk. I. with round frog stud. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 391. (Box 1)
