*Rare* German Made Model 1895 Chilean Mauser Bayonet with Scabbard and Frog. BAYO 400. - BAYO 400
Here is a rare bayonet used by the Boer forces. It is also known as the Chilean Mauser bayonet, simply because most of these bayonets never made it into the ZAR. The Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek’s port (Lourenco Marques, now Maputo in Mozambique – former Greek colony) was blockaded by the British fleet and consequently the consignment was sent to Chile. A good, untouched example of a Model 1895 Chilean Mauser Bayonet, for use on the 7mm Mauser Rifle. These bayonets were produced from 1895–1901. This example was made under contract by Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co of Solingen, Germany (Weyersberg, Kirschbaum, and Cie. was founded in 1883 with the merger of two family-owned sword manufacturing and marketing companies in Solingen, Germany: Gebruder Weyersberg, founded by Wilhem, Peter and Johann Ludwig Weyersberg in 1787 and WR Kirschbaum & Cie, founded by Wilhem Reinhordt Kirschbaum. The newly founded company used traditional techniques for sword making and each of their then employees specialised in one task in the sword making process. This was in accordance to the Division of Labour act devised by the Sword makers Guild of Soligen). The fullered blade is marked WEYERSBURG KIRSCHBAUM & Co SOLINGEN to one side with the three intertwined circles on the ricasso which are the trademark of the famous steelworks, Krupp (pronounced 'Kroop'), who supplied the blade steel. The three rings symbolized the Radreifen—the seamless railway wheels patented in 1851 by Alfred Krupp. At the turn of the Century, when these bayonets were made, Krupp was the largest company in Europe, and Chilean crest. The blade length is 25cm (37 ¼ cm overall). The wooden grips are held with two pins are showing signs of age and use but are solid. The steel scabbard has ‘E6134’ to the frog stud. The webbing frog is in good order. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 400 (Other Countries Box 2)

**SOLD**10/4**Early German Made Chinese M1907 Bayonet Scabbard and Leather Frog. BAYO 397. - BAYO 397
Information concerning Chinese bayonets is and will probably always be sparse. The Imperial Army of the mid-19tgh century China was medieval in contrast to the European armies of the time. However, after 1871 it would seem that some steps were taken to modernise the archaic forces. It can be seen that China used a most confusing and vast array of various weapons. Some bayonets were made especially for China and indeed, the crude nature of some of the bayonets known to have been used by the Chinese poses the question whether some of the pre-Mao era bayonets are in fact products of China. Definite proof is needed in many cases, but the problem of the origin is interesting and complex. A much higher quality of workmanship is found on the M1907 bayonet. These bayonets were made in Germany and are the only Chinese bayonets of individual style with a known model date. See pages 47/48 of Watts and White for reference. This example is unfullered with an unmarked double edged 10” blade (14 ½ “OA). The wooden slab grips are held with two rivets. The release catch works as it should. The steel scabbard has light age related staining. The leather frog with integrated belt loop is in good order. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 397. (Other Countries Box 2)

Australian Owen Mk I Sub Machine Gun 1907 Pattern Bayonet with Lithgow Marked Blade and No. 1 Scabbard. 22534:6. - 22534:6
The Owen Mk I bayonet was introduced in 1944 along with Owen Mk I/I, although the I/I model was at first known as the Mk II. The Mk I is merely the No I (Patt. 1907) with a newly made 10” blade, having a fuller of only 5”. The wartime Owen bayonets were made at Orange, therefore the OA mark. More of the Owens were produced at Lithgow in 1953 and these have the MA mark such as this one. The ricasso is stamped with inspection marks and ‘MA’ and on the other side with a Broad arrow and ’53’ (1953). The blade is in excellent condition. The bayonet has a straight waisted cross guard. The slab wood grips are both intact and are secured with two screw bolts. The pommel has the push button release, which operates smoothly and clearance hole. The No 1 late scabbard has a large frog stud along with three rivets showing on the locket. Its leather is in good condition and is stamped ‘Mangrovite TD’ with a War Department Arrow. (see page 278 & 279, item A13 in Skennerton's 'British & Commonwealth Bayonets book). The price includes UK delivery. 22534:6. (07 Box 1)

Czechoslovakian V-24 Bayonet Scabbard & Frog. 22534:4. - 22534:4
The Czechoslovakian VZ–24 bayonet is a significant artifact representing a transitional period in European military history. Originally designed for the VZ-24 Mauser rifle, this bayonet became one of the most widely produced and distributed blade designs of the 20th century. The final production variant, manufactured after the Communist takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1948, reflects the geopolitical and industrial changes of the era. Following the 1948 Communist government reforms, VZ–24 bayonets were produced until 1950, coinciding with the cessation of VZ-98N rifle production. These bayonets are distinguished by their marking ‘tgf’ a letter code introduced by the new regime. This coding system was inspired by the German practice during World War II and designated Zbrojovka Brno, the state-controlled arms manufacturer, as the producer. The ‘tgf’ marking is a hallmark of Communist-era production, symbolizing the centralized control of arms manufacturing and the strategic importance of Brno’s facilities. The bayonets from this period retained the robust, functional design of earlier models, characterized by a fullered blade, steel pommel, and wooden grip panels. The scabbard, typically of steel construction, was designed to endure harsh field conditions. The VZ–24 bayonet was not only a standard issue for Czechoslovakian forces but also an export item, contributing to its widespread use across numerous countries. Its compatibility with Mauser rifles made it a favoured choice in various military arsenals worldwide. Stamped ‘tgf’ to the pommel and frog stud of the scabbard. In very good order.

AKM Type II Bayonet and Scabbard for the AK47 Assault Rifle. 22534:1 - 22534:1
The AK47 assault rifle was introduced during a period in history when the bayonet's future was in debate. In the decade following the outbreak of the Second World War, most of the major powers produced an infantry rifle without the ability to mount a bayonet. Without a single exception, everyone was redesigned to accept a bayonet or replaced with a rifle that did within a few years of its introduction. The AK47 was Russia's entry in this debate, being designed without the intent that it mounts a bayonet. Having a change of mind, in 1955, the Russians opted for a bayonet. The AK47 bayonet hilt borrows heavily from the Swedish M1914 bayonet, another example where the bayonet was added as an afterthought. Both the AK47 bayonet and scabbard were patterned after Russia's first knife bayonet, the M1940 bayonet used with the 7.62 mm. Tokarev SVT–40 self–loading rifle. Although adequate, the dual muzzle-ring arrangement made the AK47 bayonet awkward, at best, for any other use. The AKM rifle was introduced in 1960. Among other things, the updated AK47 variant included a bayonet lug. Much easier and cheaper to manufacture than the AK47, production and use of the AKM went worldwide. The inclusion of a bayonet lug allowed for a more conventional bayonet. However, the new bayonet design, what we refer to as the AKM Type I, was far from conventional. It was as groundbreaking as the Kalashnikov itself. It incorporated several features, making for an incredibly versatile bayonet. The one-piece moulded plastic grip & pommel; and stainless-steel blade made the bayonet impervious to rust and rot. The unfullered clip-point blade had saw teeth along the spine. The steel scabbard body had a lug at the point that engaged a window cut into the blade, so that bayonet and scabbard could be combined as a wire cutter. The scabbard body had a rubber insulator, making it safe to cut electrified wire. The belt hanger was a clip-on affair that was cheap and easy to replace. A retention strap was also included, for extra grip when using as a combat knife. A truly revolutionary design that continues to influence bayonet design to the present day. An unusual design, it has a bowie type unfullered 14 ½ cm blade with a serrated back and whole near the point which engages with the scabbard to form a wire cutter. The grips are wooden, and the scabbard is a later orange composite. The leather straps are in place and in good order. The price includes UK delivery. 22534:1 (Other Countries Box 1)

*Excellent* WWII Dated Australian ‘1907’ Pattern Bayonet Scabbard and Frog Made at ‘Lithgow Small Arms Factory’. 22426:57. - 22426:57
Lithgow 1907 bayonet was designed at the Lithgow Small Arms factory in Australia starting around 1913, just prior to WWI (The Lithgow Small Arms Factory, or Lithgow Arms, is an Australian small arms manufacturing factory located in the town of Lithgow, New South Wales. It was created by the Australian Government in 1912 to ease reliance on the British for the supply of defence materials).
