SOLD SOLD (03/03) *Very Good Condition* WWII British No5 MkII Bayonet No5 MkI Scabbard and Frog. 22426:54. - 22426:54
This is a very good wartime No5 bayonet. The No. 5 bayonet was the bayonet used with the No. 5 Lee-Enfield which was nicknamed the "Jungle carbine". The bayonet was a blade which marked a return of the British Army to using blade type bayonets like the Pattern 1907 bayonet instead of socket bayonets such as the No. 4 bayonets used on the No. 4 Lee-Enfield. The blackened blade, metalwork and grips are in excellent order- the grips have minor signs of use related wear *see images*. See Watts & White pages 328/401 No 844 for reference. The scabbard is the early No5 MkI with steel mouthpiece and is unmarked retaining much of its paint. The webbing frog is manufacturer marked W.W & S ltd and dated 1946 with a Broad Arrow to the rear. A lovely WWII example in excellent condition, the price includes UK delivery. 22426:54. (Box 1)

Chapman, Robert Mole & Sons, and Vickers Ltd. Additionally, Remington UMC produced approximately 100,000 during the war. The Pattern 1907 bayonet, officially called the Sword bayonet, pattern 1907 (Mark I), is an out-of-production British bayonet designed to be used with the Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) rifle. The Pattern 1907 bayonet was used by the British and Commonwealth forces throughout both the First and Second World Wars.

This example has original olive drab paint to the pommel and crossguard. The ricasso is stamped with inspection marks, ‘1907’ the Remington crest and the date of manufacture ‘9 ‘15’ (September 1915).

Martini Henry Pattern 1876 Socket Bayonet and MkII Scabbard. 22426:45. - 22426:45
The Martini Henry Pattern 1876 socket bayonet, officially named the ‘Bayonet common long’ was nicknamed the ‘Lunger’ by the troops. The blade is triangular with blunt edges and was purely a stabbing weapon. P1876 bayonets were initially only marked with the War Department arrow and Enfield inspection marks. From July 1882, the date of manufacture was added to the factory stamps. The majority of the common bayonets were manufactured by the Royal Small Arms factory Enfield. The black leather scabbard has brass mountings with a full-length internal spring to retain the bayonet in the scabbard and maintain the scabbards rigidity. The original P1876 bayonet scabbard, the approved pattern of June 1876 had three brass rivets. From July 1877, new scabbards were manufactured with only two. This bayonet was made between July 1877 and July 1882, as indicated by the absence of a date mark on the bayonet and the presence of two rivets in the scabbard. The further absence of a unit designation fits with the likelihood of this bayonet being manufactured and issued in preparation for the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879. The bayonet measures 25 inches overall with a blade length of 21.7 inches with a socket 3 inches in length. The brass mounted leather scabbard has a broad arrow over W.D. and an Enfield inspection stamp on the top locket. The stitching is slight loose ¾ of the way down. One stud is missing from the chape. The blade carries 3 marks see images. The number ‘195’ is stamped to the shoulder. Number ‘182’ is stamped to the teardrop frog stud. The price includes UK delivery. 22426:45. (Martini Bayonet Box)

*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.
