French M1892 Chromed Mannlicher Berthier 1st Pattern Bayonet. Description Single-fullered straight blade, riveted black composition grips (meaning that this is the 1st pattern, the 2nd pattern having wood grips). The blade has notches near the hilt which engage with a mechanism locking the blade into the scabbard. Steel scabbard, black leather frog. Hilt with muzzle ring overlapping the grip and a hooked quillon. Many M1892 bayonets had the quillon removed during WW1 “ this example remains intact and original. Bayonet and scabbard are both numbered but are non-matching, indicating a replacement or swap during its service life. No other markings. All metal parts on this example have been chromed for parade use, with black grips, scabbard and frog for a two-tone effect. The chrome finish is excellent, with a line of wear on the blade where it rubs against the scabbard retaining spring. The scabbard was painted black over its original blueing “ this has worn with use with only small areas of gloss black paint remaining, some wear also to the blueing and areas of light pitting.Â The leather frog has only very light rubbing and no loss of stitching.

British 1855 Pattern Land Transport Corps Sword by Kirschbaum. Description Straight unfullered single-edged blade. Ribbed solid brass hilt with cross guard, symmetrical round finials and oval pommel. No scabbard. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with a knight&#acute;s helm, this mark signifies the maker as C F Kirschbaum of Solingen. Imported German blades are not uncommon on British swords of the period, even those produced for the government. English firms would often buy in German blades then hilt and finish them. On the other side it is stamped with a crown inspection mark. Sidearms with the form of a neoclassical &#acute;gladius&#acute; appear to have originated with Napoleon&#acute;s love for all things Roman, and the French 1771 &#acute;Eagle Head&#acute; Artillery sword. A series of very similar-looking short swords were subsequently designed, including the French 1816 & 1831 Artillery, the US Model 1832 Foot Artillery, the Swiss 1842 Pioneer&#acute;s, the Russian 1848 Pioneer&#acute;s and the British 1855 Land Transport. They were not particularly useful for combat (the gladius having become obsolete for good reasons) so remained either ceremonial items or in the role of a machete for various field tasks such as clearing brush. The Land Transport Corps was formed in great haste in 1855, in the midst of the Crimean War: the British Army&#acute;s disorganized transport had resulted in disastrous supply breakdowns during the harsh winter of 1854, and a rapid response was required. Officers of the new unit carried the 1822 Light Cavalry sword while other ranks were armed with the 1855: a near replica of the French 1831 Artillery sidearm, making this the only British sword to follow the Continental gladius trend. A few dents to the brass hilt as expected for its age. The tip of the blade is very slightly bent.

British Scarce 1863 Pattern Whitworth Bayonet. Description Single-fullered &#acute;yataghan&#acute; downward-curving blade, cross hilt with lower quillon with round finial, and upper quillon projecting from the muzzle ring. Black chequered grips of pressed leather, attached to the tang with three rivets on one side and four on the other. External leaf spring which actuates the locking catch, attached by a single screw. Steel beaked pommel with distinctive circular mortise slot of the Whitworth. No scabbard. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;492&#acute;, probably an item or rack number. Both of the grips are stamped with a crown inspection mark, still very legible due to their good condition. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with a crown over &#acute;VR&#acute; (Victoria Regina) and on the other side with a crown inspection mark for Enfield. The back of the pommel bears the same inspection mark, and another similar is on the spine of the blade. The Whitworth rifle was adopted on a trial basis by the British Army in 1863, to be issued in small numbers to a small group of infantry regiments. 8,206 Whitworth bayonets were recorded manufactured between 1863 and 1866, which including the usual overages in production probably resulted in around 9,000 total. Metalwork has a quite dark patina and light pitting overall. The leather grips are very good, with little wear to the crisp chequering and only a few small dents. The scabbard for the much more common 1853 Pattern will fit this type.

British Lee Enfield No. 7 Mk 1 Land Service Bayonet, Dated 1946 by Poole. Description Single-fullered bowie knife blade with clipped point, blued for 5mm at the ricasso. Red-brown grips made of Paxolin (resin-impregnated paper, similar to Micarta, and widely used today in circuit boards). Steel scabbard with brass throat piece and circular frog stud. Blue canvas 1937 Pattern Royal Air Force frog with retaining loop. Hilt and pommel lacquered. The blade is stamped on one side at the ricasso with &#acute;No 7 MK 1/L&#acute; and on the other side with a &#acute;P&#acute; within a circle indicating the manufacturer Poole, as well as the manufacture date &#acute;1946&#acute;. The pommel is stamped on one side with a broad arrow War Department mark and on its base with some faint numbering, possibly &#acute;114&#acute;. The exposed track for the sliding button is stamped with a broad arrow War Department mark and faint lettering. The frog stud of the scabbard is stamped with a mark indicating manufacture at the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield: a superimposed letter E and D, resembling a D with a horizontal strikethrough. The reverse of the frog is faintly inked with some lettering (illegible). The rear side of the scabbard has been daubed with a patch of yellow paint, almost all hidden by the frog when it is fitted. The penultimate model of bayonet designed for the Lee-Enfield No. 4 rifle and Sten Mk 5 submachine gun, the No. 7 was an attempt to produce a bayonet that was equally useful as a utility/fighting knife and a mounted bayonet, by way of an innovative rotating pommel which contains the locking mechanism. 330,000 were produced between 1944 and 1948, but doubts about the rigidity of the mechanism under stress and its high cost of manufacture meant that the No. 7 was largely passed over for the simpler No. 9. The bayonet designed for the ill-fated EM series of experimental bullpup service rifles was essentially a strengthened No. 7.

French M1816 Artillery Sidearm with Naval Marking. Description Leaf-shaped blade with two short, narrow fullers and single long fuller, solid brass hilt, brass grip cast with fishscale texture and three steel rivets, oval brass pommel. No scabbard. Blade 19 inches in length, the sword 25 inches overall. The blade is stamped on one side with &#acute;Manceaux&#acute;, a sword manufacturer based in Paris on the Rue Lenoir Honore, and on the other side with a proof mark &#acute;B&#acute;. The hilt is stamped on one side with an anchor and on the other side with the serial number &#acute;1510&#acute;. The anchor mark suggests naval usage of what was originally designed to be an artilleryman&#acute;s sidearm. Sidearms with the form of a neoclassical &#acute;gladius&#acute; appear to have originated with the French 1771 &#acute;Eagle Head&#acute; Artillery sword. A series of very similar-looking short swords were subsequently designed, including the French 1816 & 1831 Artillery models, the US Model 1832 Foot Artillery, the Swiss 1842 Pioneer&#acute;s, the Russian 1848 Pioneer&#acute;s and the British 1855 Land Transport. They were simple and robust but not particularly useful for combat (the gladius having become obsolete for good reasons) so remained either ceremonial items or in the role of a machete for various field tasks such as clearing brush. The blade has areas of light patination and scattered light pitting. The hilt is quite bright and has some small dents to raised edges. The rivets have a dark patina.
