The German Seitengewehr 14 (S14) bayonet was developed for the Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle and was produced in 1914. These bayonets were only produced at the beginning of WW1. The S (Seitengewehr, meaning sidearm) 1914 (the pattern) bayonet was an interim design and was in effect an early type of ersatz bayonet, being produced by numerous private, non-military makers in order to make up the German army's shortfall. This is a first pattern S14 bayonet is stamped on the ricasso with a stylised G in a circle & SD (the trademark logo for Lucian Gottscho), a Berlin based patent holder and designer who sub-contracted the production of these bayonets during early, chaotic World War I. The SD stamp is one of nine unidentified factory letter codes used by sub-contractors or assembly shops. The Gottscho SD variation is having been manufactured specifically for the Kingdom of Württemberg military forces. The ricasso is stamped 593 n one side (bayonet number) and on the other side I.E.M.G.K.XIII.AR (I Ersatz-Maschinengewehr-Kompanie, XIII. Armeekorps (1st Machine Gun Company, 13th (Royal Württemberg) Army Corps)). The spine of the blade is stamped with a crown over the date acceptance stamp near to the hilt. The 302mm single-edged blade is bright and has a full fuller on both spine terminating in a spear point. The smooth wooden grips are held on by cross screws and are in good condition with age and use. The steel crosspiece has only a vestigial muzzle ring and the grip is without a flash guard.

** NAPOLEONIC WARS ERA**Georgian British Enfield Tower India Pattern Brown Bess .700 Calibre Flintlock Musket Regiment Marked ‘SLM’ (Possibly South Lancashire Militia) With Original Period Socket Bayonet. Sn 21265 - 21265
India Pattern Brown Bess muskets were the standard British Infantry Musket between 1797 & 1854. Some were in use pre-1797 purchased from the East India Company for use in Egypt (see 32-35 of British Military Long Arms 1715-1815 by Bailey where India pattern muskets are described & illustrated). This is a very good, original, India Pattern Tower Brown Bess flintlock musket. It has a 37 ¼” barrel (52 ¼” overall) with block foresight. The barrel’s smooth bore has staining and residue consistent with age and service use. Its lock plate is marked with a crown and the letters GR (King George Rex) & ordnance mark together with ‘Tower’ across the tail of lock. The musket has standard British India pattern brass fittings including butt plate, trigger guard with extended tang, fore end cap & brass ramrod pipes. It has a military hammer Walnut full stock with iron ramrod as illustrated in the pages of Bailey’s book. The musket’s cocking and firing actions work crisply. The wood is Regiment marked ‘S.L.M’. The ‘M’ is poorly impressed and resembles a letter ‘K’. We cannot find a Regiment with initials ‘SLK’ so it is more likely to be ‘SLM’ to the South Lancashire Militia (the Lancashire Militia originated in 1689 when King William III directed the Earl of Derby, Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire, to call out and train the Militia under Charles II’s Act of 1662 which formed the basis for Militia law until 1908). The Musket comes complete with an original period socket bayonet. The 17” triangular form blade is straight and has just staining and aged patina. The blade has no visible inspection or maker marks. The bayonet fits the musket. The price for this historic piece includes UK delivery. N.B As an antique musket no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 21265
