British Shortened Martini Henry Yataghan Sword Bayonet and Scabbard. BAYO 573. - BAYO 573
This is a shortened Martini-Henry bayonet and scabbard for use by cadets. The blade has been converted from the longer yataghan style blade by shortening it and re-shaping the point which means the fuller runs through to the point. The only marking is the blade carrying the initials A.S. The mortice slot has been chamfered for Martini-Henry rifles and the muzzle ring has been bushed to 18mm. The rest of the bayonet is with original configuration with black leather grips *see images for condition of grips* and a leaf spring press stud. The scabbard is a shortened version of the original. See Skennerton, item B224 on pages 176 and 177. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 573. (Box 2)

C1760 Revolutionary War British Dragoon Bayonet. BAYO 613. - BAYO 613
Bayonet for a circa 1760s British light dragoon carbine.( Dragoons were originally a class of mounted infantry, who used horses for mobility, but dismounted to fight on foot. From the early 17th century onward, dragoons were increasingly also employed as conventional cavalry and trained for combat with swords and firearms from horseback. While their use goes back to the late 16th century, dragoon regiments were established in most European armies during the 17th and early 18th centuries; they provided greater mobility than regular infantry but were far less expensive than cavalry. For reference see "The Socket Bayonet in the British Army" page 98. This piece is 18 ½ “overall, 14R43; blade, 3.9R43; socket and inside diameter of 26mm. Blade is marked with "C" which is a Smiths mark. The metal surfaces show stains, light scattered pitting and old patina. This piece shows slight variations of dimensions from the various bayonets shown on the pages 98 to 102 of the aforesaid reference. A less than common British military bayonet. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 613.

4" Brown Bess Bayonet with India Spring Catch. BAYO 612. - BAYO 612
The standard socket bayonet of the eighteenth century is the triangular bladed type, known by the name of its firearm as the Brown Bess, which was the premier British Army bayonet up to and indeed after 1842. Many were sent out to India after becoming obsolete for the British Army. This style of British bayonet is the subject of much speculation as to its designation and if it was ever officially issued. New research by David Harding on the history of the East India Company (EIC) has revealed that in the period 1771-72 the Board of Ordnance made a trial issue of some 600 bayonets with 'Springs' for muskets of Long Land Pattern. But they were never officially adopted. Blade length; 375mm, overall length; 490mm and 4” socket length. In good overall condition with age related staining. See pages 286 & 336 of Watts & White for reference. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 612. (Box 1)

British Pattern 1842 Lovell’s Catch Socket Bayonet by Manufacturer S.Hill & Sons. BAYO 610. - BAYO 610
This is a nice, untouched example of a British Pattern 1842 Lovell’s Catch Socket Bayonet 1840s British carbine bayonet by S Hill & Son, having a Lovel's catch, socket 3", blade 13", MRD 21 mm. Although not adopted until late in 1844, the bayonet is referred to as the Pattern 1842 in most references and saw use with nearly all the Pattern 1842 muskets produced, as well with many of the earlier Pattern 1839 muskets that were upgraded to the Lovell Catch system. The British Pattern 1842 bayonets had nominally 17” long blades with 3” sockets and bore diameters of approximately 24mm. The sockets were mortised for top stud and had a simple 3-step “zigzag” mortise cut. These dimensions were essentially the same as the earlier Pattern 1839 Bayonet that had been used with the Hanoverian catch system. This example of a British Military Pattern 1842 Lovell Catch Socket Bayonet is in very good condition. The bayonet was produced by the famous English contractor S.Hills and Sons and is marked on the face of the blade. See page 359 of Watts & White for reference. The price includes UK delivery.
