British L1A3 Bayonet, Converted L1A1, Dated 1957 by Enfield. Description Straight single fullered blade with clipped Bowie point. Black finished steel hilt, black painted sheet steel slab grips secured by two rivets around concealed tang. Steel pommel with locking button, black finished steel scabbard with circular frog stud, frog of white woven plastic. The blade is stamped at the ricasso on one side with a broad arrow War Office ownership stamp and &#acute;57D&#acute;, the &#acute;D&#acute; having a horizontal stroke extending from the vertical. The &#acute;D&#acute; with a stroke extending from the vertical is a mark of the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, while 57 is the date of manufacture. The grip slabs are each stamped with another &#acute;D&#acute; with a stroke Enfield stamp and another broad arrow. The pommel is stamped on its base with the model &#acute;L1A3&#acute;, as well as with &#acute;0&#acute; and &#acute;257&#acute;, the latter probably a serial or weapon number. The L1A1 bayonet for the SLR rifle was sealed as a pattern in 1957, and the L1A3 bayonet in 1958. Most of the newly made L1A1s were converted to L1A3s (which only involved milling a recess into the pommel allowing the press stud to be replaced) and later more L1A3s were newly manufactured. Being dated 1957 this example is most likely one such conversion of an L1A1. Its markings also show signs of conversion: the grips of either an L1A1 or L1A3 would normally be stamped with their model and NATO item number, but these would be incorrect after conversion and I think they have been deliberately removed on this example by grinding, and only new Enfield &#acute;D&#acute; stamps were applied before the grips were refinished. The new model mark &#acute;L1A3&#acute; was then applied by manual stamping on the pommel rather than trying to replace the factory stamping on the grips. The blade retains its black parkerised finish with only tiny bright spots of wear on raised edges. Some dimpled forging imperfections to the blade which have been parkerised over. Likewise some spots of wear to the finish on raised edges of the hilt, grips and pommel, a couple of very small chips to the scabbard with light rubbing at its chape end.

US M1873 Socket Bayonet for the Springfield Trapdoor Rifle, Massachusetts National Guard. Description Socket bayonet for the Model 1873 .45-70 Springfield Trapdoor rifle, with fullered triangular blade and steel scabbard. Scabbard with drainage hole and frog hanging hook, black leather frog with rotating belt loop. The ricasso of the blade is stamped &#acute;MASS US&#acute;. The brass swivel of the belt frog is also cast with &#acute;MASS&#acute; indicating that it was made for the Massachusetts National Guard. The leather inside of the scabbard loop is also roughly inscribed with &#acute;AL&#acute;, presumably a soldier&#acute;s initials. The last model of standard-issue socket bayonet, the M1873 was used with the 1873 and 1879 &#acute;Trapdoor&#acute; Springfield rifles, until 1884 when the new model introduced a rod bayonet. Both bayonet and scabbard have been deeply blued and retain a great deal of this original finish. The leather frog is partly cracked along the seam attaching the semicircular &#acute;ear&#acute; piece to the scabbard loop “ it can support its own weight but should be handled with care. Some very minor flaking to the frog&#acute;s surface in places. The loop still rotates freely. One small dent to the flat side of the scabbard body.

British WW2 Naval Contract Lanchester SMG Bayonet. Description Straight single-fullered spear pointed knife blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring, wood slab grips secured by two screws, steel beaked pommel with oil hole and locking button. Black leather No. 1 Mk 2 scabbard with steel locket & circular frog stud and steel chape piece. Khaki canvas frog. Blade 17¼ inches, 22 inches overall. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown with &#acute;GR&#acute; over 1907 (the pattern) &#acute;S294&#acute;, the wartime manufacturer code assigned to Wilkinson, &#acute;W S C&#acute; for Wilkinson Sword Company, and &#acute;7 _4&#acute;, indicating the manufacture date of July 1944. On the other side it is stamped with a &#acute;broad arrow&#acute; War Department stores mark, a crown inspection stamp, an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating the blade passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The reverse of the frog is inked with lettering including &#acute;CN / AA / 0996&#acute;. The Lanchester was a British 9mm calibre submachine gun inspired by the German Bergmann, manufactured during the Second World War and primarily used by the Royal Navy. While the Lanchester was compatible with the existing stocks of 1907 pattern bayonets produced for the Lee Enfield No.1 rifle, in 1943 the Admiralty placed an order with Wilkinson for 87,600 new bayonets with a blackened finish on the blade. The bayonets for this contract all carry the &#acute;S294&#acute; code used by Wilkinson from 1942 and have a different style of marking to older production 1907s. The blade has been chromed, which partly obscures its markings. Some wear to this chrome finish at the tip and along the edge, with spots of light patination. The scabbard fittings are likewise chromed, this has worn more substantially with patination to the exposed steel, one dent to the chape piece. Some movement to both fittings. Mottled patination to the hilt and pommel. The wood grips are undamaged with only a few small dents. The scabbard leather is good with only minor dents and abrasions to the front side. The frog is good with no loss of stitching.

German Ersatz Bayonet. EB5. WW1. 1916. #2505009. This all-steel ersatz bayonet was made in Germany in the early years of WW1. The height of ersatz bayonet manufacturing was 1916, as the Imperial German war machine rushed to equip the huge number of new troops. This pattern of ersatz bayonet has been designated under Carter’s classification as EB5.The 316mm single-edged blade has a flat spine and terminates in a double-edged spear point. The unfullered blade is in near mint condition and retains its full length. Many ersatz bayonets had their blades shortened, making original length examples harder to find. The spine and ricasso both bear inspection stamps.The cast steel hilt is in excellent condition. The long muzzle ears and two-piece cross guard are characteristic of the EB5. The press-stud attachment mechanism is in perfect working order. The blade is held firmly within the steel grip.The bayonet is complete with its original ersatz scabbard which retains much of its original paint. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.This is a highly desirable Great War ersatz bayonet in excellent condition and guaranteed genuine.

British 1856 Pattern Saw Toothed Pioneer Sword. Modified Hilt. #2505003. The British military has had several patterns of saw-back bayonets but only one saw-back sword. The pattern 1856 infantry Pioneers’ short sword (hanger) was issued to the Pioneers within each infantry battalion. The primary use of the sword was for clearing ground for gun emplacements and widening trails. This example has a modified hilt, the knuckle bow having been removed, which improves the use of the sword as a saw and as a machete. Whether the modification was carried out during military service, or post service is unknown. It is possible that the knuckle bow broke during service in South Africa during the Boer War and was removed and the hilt modified for continued active service use.The 574mm blade has 27 pairs of saw teeth, extending for 390mm from the ricasso. The blade is double-edged for the last 165mm and terminates in a spear point. The saw teeth remain very sharp and the blade retains its upper and lower service sharpened edges. The blade is in fairly good condition, with patches of cleaned pitting along the edges and at the point.The ricasso is stamped with the War Department arrow, Wilkinson factory inspectors mark and a bend test X. The obverse ricasso bears a Wilkinson factory inspectors stamp and the date 8 ’00 (August 1900), above the maker’s details, Wilkinson, London.The sword is complete with its Wilkinson-made, brass mounted leather scabbard. The scabbard is in good condition with crazing to the original finish. The leather is stamped with the War Department arrow and Wilkinson inspection mark as well as the date, 1896. The sword sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.This is an interesting example of a scarce British Pioneers sword for less than the cost of a replacement scabard.

British Lee Enfield 1907 Pattern Bayonet, Royal Scots Fusiliers. Description Straight single-fullered knife blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring, wood slab grips secured by two screws, steel beaked pommel with oil hole and locking button. Black leather No. 1 Mk 2 scabbard with steel locket & teardrop frog stud and steel chape piece. Khaki canvas frog with retaining loop. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown over &#acute;GR&#acute;, 1907 (the pattern) &#acute;11 &#acute;18&#acute;, indicating the manufacture date of November 1918, the manufacturer&#acute;s mark &#acute;SANDERSON&#acute;, a crown inspection stamp and a reissue stamp dated &#acute;21. On the other side it is stamped with a &#acute;broad arrow&#acute; War Department stores mark, three crown inspection marks with &#acute;E&#acute; indicating the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating that it passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;R S F&#acute;, indicating issue to the Royal Scots Fusiliers, above &#acute;R534&#acute;, probably a rack number. The throat and chape pieces of the scabbard are both stamped with &#acute;RE&#acute; within a circle, indicating the manufacturer Remington. The leather of the scabbard is stamped next to the seam with another crown inspection mark and the manufacture date &#acute;17, these marks being faint from rubbing. The rear of the frog is inked with a faint maker&#acute;s mark, the manufacture date &#acute;1939&#acute; and a broad arrow. Given the manufacture date I would not class this bayonet as WW1 issue, but from its reissue stamps it clearly did see some service with the Royal Scots Fusiliers in the interwar period. The regular battalions of that regiment continued to be deployed overseas during this period: the 1st Battalion spending time in Ireland, Palestine and India while the 2nd Battalion was deployed to the Black Sea region as part of the wider Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War that lasted from 1917-22, then to India and China. The blade is bright with a few spots of light patination, some grinding marks and small nicks to its edge near the tip. The wood grips have only a few light dents and remain quite glossy with little handling wear. The hilt, pommel and scabbard fittings are bright with a few spots of light patination. The leather body of the scabbard has some surface abrasions, shallow dents and thin shallow cuts. One crack to the lower section near the chape piece, running from one edge of the seam to the near side edge, then branching to run down that edge for about 2cm. This has had the effect of slightly kinking the chape end to one side. This does not prevent sheathing and drawing and the scabbard remains solid, though one should take care when the blade is withdrawn. The scabbard&#acute;s stitching remains intact.

French M1886/1915 WW1 Lebel Bayonet. Matching Scabbard. #2502017. This is a great example of the famous French M1886 bayonet, made circa 1915 for use during WW1 with the 8mm Lebel rifle. The Lebel bayonet was the first to use a cruciform (epee-like) blade and had a long service history. The Lebel bayonet was affectionately known as “Rosalie” by the troops who carried it.The M1886 was originally made with a nickel-silver alloy grip but this was phased out in 1914 as nickel was in short supply and required for the war effort. After 1914 the grips were made of brass and the bayonet was manufactured without the hooked quillon. The Lebel epee bayonet with its distinctive cruciform blade was the French mainstay during WWI and was produced by numerous private contractors, many of which were not previously associated with the production of weaponry.The 520mm distinctive cruciform blade has a rounded needle point. The blade is in excellent condition and is stamped at the base with the manufacturer’s initials, C. F. This maker remains unknown today. There are no inspection stamps on the blade.The steel muzzle ring and block are in excellent condition and bear the serial number 76418, prefixed by a calligraphised letter K. The raised press-stud with knurled top is in excellent working order. The cast brass grip is in excellent condition.The bayonet is complete with its matching numbered steel scabbard. The scabbard is in good condition. The scabbard retains its black finish and bears the matching serial number, K76418. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held loosely within the scabbard due to the flattening of one of the internal leaf springs.The bayonet is complete with its French M1874 brown leather frog. These frogs were used first with the M1874 Gras bayonet and then with the M1886 Lebel.This is a great matching numbered example of the iconic French Lebel bayonet, complete with frog.

Italian Shell Guard Broadsword, ca. 1630. Featuring forged iron hilt with long down-curved scrolling quillons with simple chiseled decoration and large upturned shell guard. Original, intricately faceted and grooved wood grip with decorative iron base ferrule, made without wrap; faceted bun-shaped pommel with button. Unmarked, broad 31 3/4” blade of flattened diamond section. The blade cleaned and smooth, with signs of lamination and tiny pin-prick pitting and a few shallow edge nicks. Guard somewhat loose, probably due to shrinkage of the wood grip. Similar example illustrated in “Armi Bianche Italiane”, example 591. Wood grips were commonly found on swords used in the New World, as opposed to the wire or leather wrapped grips of most European counterparts. This exact sword illustrated in “TREASURES OF THE CARIBBEAN”, by Rodney Hilton Brown on page 286. Formerly in the War Museum Collection. Overall length 37 5/8”.

British L1A4 Bayonet by Hopkinson, Chromed Parade Order. Description Straight single fullered blade with clipped Bowie point. Steel hilt with muzzle ring, black painted sheet steel slab grips secured by two rivets around concealed tang. Steel pommel riveted to the tang, with locking button. Steel scabbard with round frog stud. Black rubber frog with buckled retaining strap. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;C&#acute; within a square on one side and &#acute;H&#acute; within a square on the other. The grips are stamped on one side with &#acute;L.1.A.4. 9600259 S.M.&#acute;, L1A4 being the model number, 9600259 being the NATO item number for the L1A4 bayonet, and S.M. being the manufacturer code for Hopkinson. The blade is stamped at the ricasso on one side with an indistinct mark, obscured by the chrome. The scabbard is stamped at the throat above the frog stud with a broad arrow War Department stamp. The L1A4 bayonet for the SLR rifle was sealed as a pattern in 1958 but not actually produced until the 1970s by the firm Hopkinson based in Sheffield. It has some minor simplifications in construction compared to its predecessor the L1A3. This example has had the metal parts of both bayonet & scabbard chromed to be worn on parade and is paired with the correct glossy black frog that would also have been worn. The bayonet&#acute;s chromed finish is in good condition with a few spots of wear around the muzzle ring, in the recesses for the grip rivets & locking button, and on the scabbard body. Some small dents to a grip scale on one side. The tip of the blade is missing, this was probably deliberately blunted to make it safer for parade handling. No damage to the edge. One significant dent to the scabbard on the reverse side, with some pitting to the recesses of the dent “ this does not interfere with sheathing and drawing. A screw near the throat of the scabbard is missing. The frog&#acute;s rubber retaining strap is broken where it should thread into the buckle “ the scabbard stays in place anyway due to the rigidity and friction of the rubber but the strap cannot be done up to secure it.

British 1895 Pattern Socket Bayonet for the .303 Martini-Enfield, by Wilkinson 1912. Description Steel socket bayonet with triangular blade. Black leather Mk II scabbard with brass throat and chape pieces and two brass rivets to the leather section. Blade 21 5/8 inches (547mm) in length from the shoulder, the bayonet 25 inches overall (635mm), muzzle ring diameter 16.5mm. The blade is marked at the ricasso on the broadest side with a broad arrow War Department stores mark, the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;WSC&#acute; for the Wilkinson Sword Company, a crown inspection mark with &#acute;E&#acute; for Enfield, the date 2 &#acute;12 indicating that it was converted in February 1912, and two broad arrows point to point, indicating equipment that was declared obsolete or to be sold off. The narrower lower sides of the blade are also stamped, one with the number &#acute;30&#acute;, this being cancelled with a strikethrough, and the other with non-English script markings, possibly serial numbers, one of these also being cancelled. The 1895 Pattern socket bayonet was produced by converting existing stocks of the 1876 Pattern. It was intended to fit to the Martini-Enfield, which was itself a conversion of existing Martini-Henry rifles to accept the new .303 British cartridge. This required the bayonets to be bushed to fit a smaller diameter barrel and their sockets remodelled to mount the blade below the barrel instead of to the side. The conversion stamps seen on this bayonet are unusual: the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield is usually listed as the sole site for production of the 1895 Pattern, with conversion work taking place there between 1895 and 1902. However, Graham Priest writes that Wilkinson also performed some conversions (see Socket Bayonets, page 72). Nonetheless the clearly marked date of 1912 is remarkably late for conversion to have still been taking place, though the non-English script markings on this example may suggest that it was done for Commonwealth service (perhaps India or Nepal?). The Martini-Enfield hung around for many years after its official replacement since the .303 round remained current and readily available. It was in service in some capacity in New Zealand and India through WW1 and beyond, was widely seen in the Middle East, was used by South African cadet forces until the mid-20th century, and in Britain some remained stored in armouries long enough to be issued to Home Guard units in WW2. The blade is clean and bright with only a few patches of very light patination. The socket retains almost all of its blued finish. A few small dents and scratches to the scabbard fittings, which have a moderate patina, and similarly some rubbing and dents to the leather section. All of its stitching is intact.

Norwegian M1894 Bayonet Converted for the M1 Carbine. Description Unfullered spear-pointed blade, wood slab grips secured by a single screw, steel one-piece hilt, backstrap and pommel with integral sprung locking mechanism in the hilt, that both locks the bayonet to its scabbard and locks it onto a rifle. Muzzle ring attached by brazing, 1.45cm in diameter. Steel scabbard with projecting hook on the throat piece to engage with the locking mechanism, integral green canvas frog with wire loop webbing hooks and buttoned retaining strap, also attached by brazing to the scabbard body. Blade 21.3cm in length, the bayonet 33.5cm overall. The blade is stamped at the ricasso on one side with the crown and cypher of King Haakon VII, and on the other side with a crown and &#acute;K&#acute;, the maker&#acute;s mark of Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk (Kongsberg Weapons Factory). The hilt is stamped with the serial number &#acute;9750&#acute;. The throat piece of the scabbard is stamped with the serial number &#acute;74894&#acute;. Norway received rifles from the United States under its Military Assistance Program from 1950 until 1963, with nearly 100,000 M1 and M2 Carbines delivered. The M1 was designated the Selvladekarabin M1 (Self-loading Carbine M1) in Norwegian service. Some US-made M4 bayonets for these rifles were delivered but were clearly insufficient in number, as Norway manufactured its own copy of the M4 bayonet at the Kongsberg arsenal, then opted to convert some of its existing stocks of M1894 bayonets made for the Krag Jorgensen rifle to fit the M1. Norway had an oversupply of this bayonet due to a new production run ordered in 1943 during their occupation by Nazi Germany. 30,000 bayonets were modified in 1956-57, probably at Kongsberg, by brazing on a new muzzle ring and modifying the locking mechanism in the mortise. A further 1,000 were converted by the Hærens Våpentekniske Korps. This is not one of the wartime production run (which have Waffenamt stamps, and lack a ball finial on the scabbard), but an original M1894, made between 1912 and 1926. The blade has some nicks to its edge, which is unsharpened. All metal parts have a blued finish, which shows little wear. The wood grip scales have only a few tiny dents. Some scratching to the reverse side of the scabbard, no denting.

Argentine Type C Socket Bayonet for the FN FAL, Argentine Marines, Falklands War. Description Tubular steel one-piece bayonet with flash ports and spear-pointed blade with semicircular profile. Blade length 6½ inches (16.5cm), 11 3/8 inches (28.9cm) overall. Black plastic scabbard with eyelet chape, circular frog stud and steel throat piece, green canvas frog with retaining strap, plastic belt grip and wire hanger. The bayonet is inscribed on the blade with the serial number &#acute;02-73026&#acute;, applied with an electric pencil. The &#acute;02&#acute; prefix indicates allocation to the Argentine Marines. The FN FAL infantry rifle and its bayonet were adopted by Argentina in the late 1950s, initially purchased from FN in Belgium but later made domestically by Argentine manufacturers. Several types of bayonet and webbing attachments were used by the Argentinean Army and Marines during the Falklands conflict: the tubular model was the &#acute;Type C&#acute;, compatible with later models of the FAL (post 1962) which had a 22mm muzzle device. This was used side by side with the &#acute;Type A&#acute; knife bayonet, which fitted to the early FALs. The scabbards are not interchangeable between Types, the blades being of different shapes. Belt frogs for these bayonets are made of either green leather or nylon fabric: the &#acute;Correaje Argentino de Cuero&#acute; (Argentine Leather Belting) load-bearing system was introduced around 1970, but incorporated some preexisting elements including leather frogs and pistol holsters, which were then painted green to match. The nylon &#acute;Correaje Tempex&#acute; (Tempex Belting) was introduced in the early 1980s to replace it which included a new frog. Both forms of load-bearing system were still in use by 1982 so both were carried in the Falklands. Either frog will fit either Type of bayonet. After Argentine forces surrendered to the British on June 14 1982 their small arms were piled up by the thousand in the Islands&#acute; capital Port Stanley, where most Argentine forces had been deployed or driven back to. A large quantity of arms had also been captured earlier at Goose Green, which was a key ammunition dump for the Argentine forces, and still more were gathered later from unengaged Argentine garrisons on the island of West Falkland. The FAL rifles became British government property and were either brought to the UK or dumped at sea, while bayonets and the short machete-like officer&#acute;s sidearms frequently became personal trophies or souvenirs for British soldiers as they would not be illegal to own in civilian life. This example is most likely one such &#acute;bring-back&#acute;. The bayonet has its original blued finish, with black paint on the release catch. Some minor rubbing to both these finishes on raised edges. The blade has some spots of patination, a few light dents to the blunt &#acute;edge&#acute; of the blade on one side. The tip of the blade has rolled (<1mm). Bright lines to the blade where it rubs against the scabbard on sheathing. Light scratching to the plastic scabbard body and one broad, shallow dent on its front face which does not interfere with sheathing and drawing. Rubbing and dark patination on the frog rivets, some dirt and spots of very light surface fraying to its canvas. One half of the black plastic belt grip on the frog has been lost, a small piece remaining in place under a rivet. The other half has some scratching to the plastic. The wire belt hook is slightly bent. It swings freely with no rust.

British Lee Enfield 1907 Pattern Bayonet, Rugby School Officers Training Corps. Description Straight single-fullered knife blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring, wood slab grips secured by two screws, steel beaked pommel with oil hole and locking button. Black leather No. 1 Mk 2 scabbard with steel locket & teardrop frog stud and steel chape piece. 1925 Pattern khaki canvas frog with retaining loop and distinctive brass button to clip the frog to the belt. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown, 1907 (the pattern) &#acute;9 17&#acute;, indicating the manufacture date of September 1917, the manufacturer&#acute;s mark &#acute;SANDERSON&#acute;, four crown inspection stamps (three with &#acute;E&#acute; indicating the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield), and multiple reissue stamps dated &#acute;27, &#acute;31 and &#acute;39. On the other side it is stamped with a &#acute;broad arrow&#acute; War Department stores mark, three more crown inspection stamps with &#acute;E&#acute;, and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating that it passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;O.T.C&#acute; over &#acute;RUG&#acute; over &#acute;283&#acute;. This indicates that this was bayonet number 283 used by the Rugby School OTC (Officers&#acute; Training Corps). The throat piece of the scabbard is stamped with a diamond-shaped manufacturer&#acute;s mark. The leather of the scabbard is stamped next to the seam with two further crown inspection marks, a broad arrow and an illegible mark which would be the manufacture date - all these marks being faint from rubbing. A large number of volunteer units sprang up across the United Kingdom during the late 1850s after a national appeal by the Secretary of State for War, due to a perceived threat of invasion of Britain by France. Oxford and Cambridge universities were very quick to respond with the formation of their own units of Rifle Volunteers, and some schools also followed suit, Rugby being one of the first wave of six schools to form their own Corps in 1860. As years went by the number of school units only increased until by 1898 there were 39, with another surge of interest due to the Boer War nearly doubling that number by 1902. These school units provided early experience for young men who would then be in a good position to move up to the university units and perhaps a military career afterward. There was lively competition between Corps for shooting prizes in particular, with Rugby one of the most successful “ although it may be said that success came in part with a school&#acute;s willingness to spend on equipment and training. The Officers&#acute; Training Corps were established in 1906 as part of the wide-ranging Haldane Reforms to the British Army&#acute;s structure. The OTCs were intended to alleviate the shortage of trained officers in the various volunteer units (Militia, Yeomanry, Volunteer Force and Reserve of Officers) by forming a system of junior training units in public schools and senior ones in universities. Some of the junior OTCs were formed out of the existing school Cadet Corps, which by this date numbered more than fifty, while senior OTCs were often formed from the university units. During WW1 the OTCs became training units for supplying officers to the regiments, an OTC Certificate generally considered full qualification to become an officer, although some individuals chose for various reasons to enlist in the ranks. Rugby School OTC supplied 291 recruits, all of them gazetted officers, between August 1914 and March 1915. The Rugby School Cadet Corps still exists today as part of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF), with Army, Royal Marines and RAF contingents. Under the modern Army structure it serves as a leadership and training organisation, teaching a number of military skills but with no obligation to go on to full military service. Because of its features this bayonet must postdate 1910, and was probably issued to replace the 1903 Pattern bayonets that were initially issued to school Corps. Its frog is quite a scarce pattern:  the 1925 Pattern frog was issued to the RAF and in fact was not made in khaki until 1932 when the Canadian government appears to have ordered a number of them from the Mills Equipment Company. The 1937 Pattern generally replaced these so it may have been handed down as surplus and found its way to an OTC unit “ as its reissue marks attest this bayonet was still in use as of 1939. The scabbard is not actually fully fitted into it “ it arrived this way and I do not wish to force the stiff canvas too much to get the frog stud into it, although I think there is enough give. The blade has a matt parkerised finish with streaks of rubbing, some scratches and spots of light patination. Some small nicks to the sharpened edge near the tip, the tip rounded. The blued band at the shoulder of the blade is intact. The hilt, pommel and scabbard fittings are blued with some light rubbing on raised edges, but have also been impacted by rust leading to areas of moderate to heavy pitting and encrustation, the latter most notable on the throat piece of the scabbard. While this is removable by polishing, that would also remove the remaining blueing. Only a few small dents to the wood grips. The leather scabbard body has some light dents and surface abrasion. All the scabbard&#acute;s stitching remains intact.

US M1912 Fencing Bayonet for the Trapdoor Fencing Musket. Description Flexible steel &#acute;blade&#acute; with looped end, brown leather cover, bare exposed tang, hilt with muzzle ring and lower lobe quillon, pommel piece with second muzzle ring, both rings with a drilled hole for a set screw. Blade 16½ inches (41.9cm) in length, 19½ inches (49.5cm) overall. The leather cover is stamped with &#acute;HEK&#acute; “ this is an inspector&#acute;s mark for Henry E Kelsey, leather goods inspector at Rock Island Arsenal (RIA). The steel parts would have been fabricated at Springfield Armory, but RIA produced the leather covers in their &#acute;Harness and Accoutrements Shop&#acute;. Seeking to improve soldiers&#acute; skills at bayonet fighting, the US Army commissioned a number of different models of &#acute;fencing bayonets&#acute; from as early as 1852, to allow a more realistic simulation of combat. Early versions used a flexible whalebone blade screwed in to a cut-down metal socket, then in 1897 the first all-steel model was introduced. The M1906 Fencing Bayonet was the first to be based on the knife bayonet, imitating the M1905 bayonet for the Springfield rifle. Technically speaking the Army never commissioned an &#acute;M1912&#acute;, this is just a more convenient way of referring to the third variation of the M1906. The difference is substantial, however: the M1912 was introduced in that year to remedy some defects in its predecessor the M1909, which was deemed to be too easily broken and reportedly caused &156;ugly wounds&157; when the blades broke in sparring creating sharp edges. This understandably discouraged bayonet training and the Inspector General complained in annual reports that soldiers&#acute; skills were suffering. To fix the issue the M1912 went back and reintroduced some features that had been mistakenly removed since the socket bayonet days: a horizontal blade, achieved by adding a 90-degree twist starting 2 inches forward of the hilt, and a leather cover over the full length of the blade. Letting the blade spring up and down rather than side to side was found to reduce breakages, and even if they did occur the leather would keep sharp edges covered. The new model was a success and 11,000 were made between 1913 and 1915, getting the infantry trained up in time for the United States&#acute;s entry into WW1. It attached (with two screws through the muzzle ring holes) to the Trapdoor Fencing Musket, a training piece made at Springfield Armory by converting obsolete .45-70 Trapdoor rifles. These had their barrels and stock shortened to mimic the length and weight of the M1903 rifle, and the sights, external hammer and sling swivels removed. The M1912 bayonets remained in use throughout WW1 and remained in stores for some time afterward, eventually being sold as surplus. The blade remains flexible. All the leather cover&#acute;s stitching is intact, some creasing and light rubbing to the leather surface, more prominent on the ball end piece, but no damage. The exposed section of the blade retains a blued finish, the hilt parts are bright and clean.
