Swiss M1918 Schmidt Rubin Bayonet by Elsener (Victorinox). Description Double-edged spear-pointed blade, wood slab grips secured by two steel rivets to the exposed tang, crossbar hilt with muzzle ring and lower lobe quillon, steel scabbard with frog hook and leather frog strap, leather frog with buckle. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with &#acute;ELSENER SCHWYZ&#acute;. Karl Elsener was a Swiss knifemaker who opened his own factory in the village of Ibach in the Swiss canton of Schwyz in 1884 making knives and surgical instruments, including military contracts. He invented the Swiss Army Knife in 1891 and later renamed the company Victorinox, which still makes knives in Isbach to this day, run by his great-grandson. The old name indicates that this is a pre-1950 example. The hilt is stamped on one side with the serial number &#acute;55659&#acute;. Its lobe quillon is stamped on the blade side with a small Swiss cross and a circle. The rear side of the leather frog is stamped with several marks faint from rubbing, including a square cartouche (which would have contained a letter but this is too faint to make out), the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;____BUHE REINACH / BASEL&#acute; - this would have been a saddlery/leatherwork firm contracted to produce the frog, based in the town of Reinach in the canton of Basel at the northern edge of Switzerland - and &#acute;44&#acute;, probably an item number. This bayonet fits the M1911 (K11) and M1931 (K31) rifles and the M41, M43, M41/44 and M43/44 submachine guns. Some tiny spots of patination to the blade, no edge damage, track marks from sheathing and drawing. Likewise some spots of light patination to the hilt, tang and pommel. The wood grips have a few very light dents. The blued finish of the scabbard has worn in places exposing bright steel, particularly where it rubs against the frog, that section not visible without disassembly.

Argentine Type A Knife Bayonet for the FN FAL with Tempex Frog, Falklands War. Description Spear-pointed knife blade with partial false edge. Blade 7Â¾ inches in length, the bayonet 12Â½ inches overall. Steel hilt with muzzle ring and integral flash-hider prongs, ribbed black plastic grip scales held by two screws, exposed tang, steel pommel. Steel scabbard with throat piece and oval frog stud, green nylon canvas frog with retaining strap, plastic belt grip and wire hanger. The bayonet is stamped on the pommel with the serial number &#acute;03697&#acute;. The scabbard body is stamped with the serial number &#acute;41897&#acute;, slightly obscured by paint. 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 knife model with distinctive flash-hider &#acute;prongs&#acute; on its muzzle ring was the &#acute;Type A&#acute; bayonet, which fitted to the early FALs. Its blade was based upon the US M4. This was used side by side with the tubular &#acute;Type C&#acute; model, which was introduced when a 22mm muzzle device was added to the FAL in 1962. 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 blade is very sharp with visible grinding marks, some undulation to its true edge which suggests that nicks or chips have been partly sharpened out. The tip has rounded, the sharpening runs right up to it but with no attempt to repoint. Some frosting and small spots of light patination. The hilt and scabbard retain most of their original black paint, especially where the scabbard was protected by its frog, some chipping to the paint on edges and raised areas like the frog stud exposing steel with some rust spots. The pommel and tang have a heavy grey patina. The plastic grips have only light handling wear and one small (7mm) scrape on one side. The frog has some heavy patination to its steel and brass, very minor fray to the nylon at the top corners but no loss of integrity, its buttons work and frog hook moves freely.

Argentine Type C Socket Bayonet for the FN FAL with Tempex Frog, Falklands War. Description Tubular steel one-piece bayonet with flash ports and spear-pointed blade with semicircular profile. Blade length 6Â½ inches (16.5cm), 11 3/8 inches (28.9cm) overall. Black plastic scabbard with eyelet chape, circular frog stud and steel throat piece, green nylon frog with retaining strap, plastic belt grip and wire hanger. The bayonet is faintly stamped on the blade with the serial number &#acute;01-76943&#acute;. The scabbard is unmarked. 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.

This example is most likely one such &#acute;bring-back&#acute;. The bayonet retains some of its original blued finish, with some wear and rust spotting to the socket. The blade is free of rust, protected by its scabbard, with some wear to the tip. The locking catch of the bayonet and the frog stud & throat piece of the scabbard have some wear to their black lacquer. Minor rubbing and scratching to the plastic scabbard body and belt grip. Light rust to some of the scabbard rivets and wire hanger.

Portuguese M1886 Kropatschek Bayonet by Steyr. Description Single-fullered &#acute;yataghan&#acute; downward-curving blade with spear point, steel cross hilt with straight lower quillon & circular finial, and upper quillon projecting from the muzzle ring. Brown wood slab grips riveted to the exposed tang, steel pommel with locking button, plain steel scabbard with frog hook. Blade 18Â½ inches in length, the bayonet 23Â½ inches overall. No maker&#acute;s mark to the spine of the blade “ it may have been removed by polishing. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with a clover-shaped Portuguese inspection mark.

The throat of the scabbard is stamped with &#acute;NN63F&#acute;. The frog stud of the scabbard is faintly marked &#acute;WG&#acute;, a Steyr factory mark. The M1886 Kropatschek rifle proved to be reliable and had a long service life - while it was replaced by the 1904 Mauser in the Portuguese army it was used by colonial units in WW1, issued to the Portuguese Legion during the Spanish Civil War, and was still in use by colonial police as late as the 1960s. Its bayonet was one of the last to make use of the &#acute;yataghan&#acute; downward-curving blade.

South African Lee Enfield No. 9 Bayonet, With Uzi Blade. Description These bayonets were manufactured in South Africa by ARMSCOR or one of its contractors during the 1960s, using spare blades originally made by FN Herstal for the Uzi submachine gun: unfullered with a spear point and diamond profile. They were issued with the Lee Enfield No. 4 rifle to local defense groups collectively called the Commando System. These military reservists/militia were formally part of the Army but typically deployed as part of police actions, acting to secure more remote areas or where the police needed reinforcement. This example is complete with its South African pattern brown leather frog with buckled retaining strap and brass rivets. The bayonet retains its original blued finish with no edge damage, the scabbard is free of dents with only tiny spots of wear to its black lacquer.

Taiwan M1 Garand Rifle Bayonet. Circa 1950. #2410021. After its split with China in 1949, American firearms became the staple of the Taiwanese infantry, particularly the M1 Garand rifle and M1 carbine. This bayonet is a 1950s Taiwanese variant of the WW2 American M1 Garand rifle bayonet. It is identical to the American model except for the ricasso markings.The 250mm single-edged blade has a deep single fuller and a flat spine that terminates in a double-edged spear point. The blade is in excellent condition and retains its original black finish.The ricasso is stamped with the Taiwanese manufacture roundel and 60-6 KS.The blackened crosspiece and pommel are in good condition, retaining their original finish, and the press stud mechanism is in good working order. The black plastic grips are in good condition and are secured firmly.The bayonet is complete with its American M1 scabbard. The scabbard is of WW2 vintage and was probably suppled along with an M1 rifle and bayonet, that was subsequently replaced with a newly made model. The US markings have been removed from the scabbard locket, probably by the Americans prior to export to Taiwan, as the provision of arms to the newly estranged island was initially quite clandestine.This is a good example of a historically significant Taiwanese Mi Garand rifle bayonet, produced in the early years of Taiwan’s independence from China.

German WW1 Trench Knife. Nahkampfmesser. #2511006. German WW1 nahkampfmesser, meaning “close combat knife,” come in a variety of similar styles and by various makers. Most have a steel scabbard with a leather belt loop and retaining strap.

The blade has a raised medial ridge and terminates in a spear point. The blade retains its fighting edge and is in used/worn condition with some cleaned, shallow pitting and sharpening wear. This knife has had an active life.The hardwood grip scales are in good condition and are secured to the full width tang by three rivets.The knife is complete with a WW2 Hitler Youth or Scout scabbard, which may just be a convenient replacement, but may also indicate that the knife saw service again during WW2, a hand-down from father to son perhaps? The scabbard is in good condition and retains most of its original black paint.This is a worn and honest German WW1 fighting knife.

Indian 1907 Pattern Mk III Bayonet, by Ishapore. Description Plain unfullered knife blade with clipped point and 2-inch false edge. Wood grips secured by two screws, squared pommel with oil hole. Black leather scabbard with iron throat and chape, khaki canvas frog. The bayonet is stamped on one side at the ricasso with the Tudor Crown, also known as the Imperial Crown for its use throughout the British Empire, &#acute;G.R.I&#acute; (Georgius Rex Imperator, meaning George VI, who was the last Emperor of India until its independence in 1947), &#acute;MkII&#acute;, the bayonet model, &#acute;9 43&#acute;, meaning the bayonet was manufactured in September 1943, and &#acute;R.F.I&#acute;, meaning the manufacturer, the Rifle Factory Ishapore. It is stamped on the other side with three Indian inspection marks. The scabbard leather is stamped next to the seam with &#acute;W&#acute; indicating that the leather was impregnated with wax as part of the manufacture process, and &#acute;ca1942&#acute; indicating that it was manufactured by the Government Harness and Saddlery Factory at Cawnpore in 1942. The throat piece of the scabbard is stamped next to the staple with &#acute;C^320&#acute;, with ^ being a broad arrow War Department mark. The chape piece of the scabbard is stamped next to the staple with &#acute;E.E. 41&#acute;, indicating it was manufactured in 1941 by a different contractor. You may notice that the model stamp is incorrect “ this is certainly a MkIII due to its squared pommel, but the stamp shows &#acute;MkII&#acute;. Incorrect factory stamping is a known phenomenon with Indian bayonets, as well as failing to add stamps for conversions, factory repairs and so on. See British & Commonwealth Bayonets by Skennerton & Richardson, p348 and 351: they write that it is particularly common to see MkIIIs stamped as MkIIs. These bayonets were made to fit the many SMLE No. 1 rifles made at Ishapore. Over time Indian bayonets became progressively simplified from the original 1907 Pattern design: the MkIII differed from the MkII in having a squared pommel and straight grips (without the curve to the belly of the grip found on other 1907 Patterns). The blade is clean and bright with an even finish and no edge damage. It has been blued at the ricasso and on the hilt, tang and pommel “ the pommel shows some wear to its blueing with some patches of light pitting. A few dents to the wood grips. The locking button is fully functional. The scabbard leather is good with only a few very small dents to its surface. The chape piece of the scabbard has some patination. The throat piece of the scabbard has extensive pitting leaving a rough surface, and has rusted through at one spot on its reverse side creating a small hole. This is hidden with the frog in place.

Steel scabbard with circular frog stud and brass throat piece secured by a screw. Khaki canvas postwar frog with unstitched slit for the stud. The No. 9 was the last model of bayonet produced for the Lee Enfield No.4 rifle, and followed the No. 7 rotating bayonet with a mechanically simpler attempt at a bayonet that was also useful as a knife, using the No. 7&#acute;s blade and scabbard but attached to the simple forged socket of the wartime No. 4. The locking button is stamped with a broad arrow. The socket is stamped on one side with &#acute;F5&#acute; over &#acute;B&#acute;.

Siamese Type 46 Bayonet. Description Single-edged, fullered knife blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring, wood scale grips secured by two rivets, steel pommel. Blued steel scabbard with frog hook. The ricasso is stamped with Thai script &#acute;à¸£,à¸¨,à¹‘à¹’à¹‘&#acute;, which translates to &#acute;R,S,121&#acute;. This means Year 121 of the Rattanakosin Sok, the era proclaimed by King Rama V in 1889 to have begun in 1781, the year in which his great-great-grandfather Rama I acceded to the throne and Rattanakosin (now called Bangkok) became the nation&#acute;s capital. RS121 is therefore 1903 in the Gregorian calendar, the bayonets were produced until 1908 but all were stamped with the date of the model&#acute;s adoption. These bayonets were produced in Japan for the Siamese military and fit the Siamese Type 46 rifle. Seeking to modernize its military at the turn of the 20th century to stave off colonial powers, Siam managed to buy a license to build Mauser’s Gewehr 98 rifle. Since it lacked the manufacturing capability, the actual production was contracted out to Japan’s Koishikawa arsenal, which resulted in the Type 46, a rifle along the lines of the Gewehr 98 but with additional features from the Japanese Type 35 produced by the same plant. The components were assembled in Bangkok with technical assistance from the Japanese, and this may have been true of the bayonets as well, which are modified versions of the German 84/98 bayonet.

British 18th Century Land Pattern Socket Bayonet. #2306007. The “Land Pattern” bayonet came in a wide variety of socket lengths and blade profiles, the bayonets being made by a variety of makers both in England and in India. These bayonets were made for use with several different muskets including carbines. The British Board of Ordnance, the East India Company (EIC) and the various Indian states all made use of these bayonets at the end of the 18th and early 19th Centuries.This bayonet has a total length of 430mm (17 inches) comprising a 100mm long socket with an internal muzzle ring diameter of 24.5mm at the back and 23.3mm at the front. The triangular blade measures 320mm (12.5 inches). The MRD and socket length is pretty much the same as those for use with the Brown Bess musket but the shortness of the blade suggests that the bayonet was used with a carbine of a similar calibre. It is possible that the blade was shortened and re-profiled but I don't think so.The bayonet is in good condition with some shallow pitting. The face of the blade is stamped with a maker’s mark.This is an interesting example of a late 18th Century carbine socket bayonet.

British Lovell's Catch 1851 Pattern Musket Bayonet. #2511007. The Lovell’s spring catch was developed early in the 1840’s as a replacement for the Hanoverian catch and was approved by the Board of Ordnance on the 23rd October 1844. Following its adoption, the Lovell catch was retro-fitted to several earlier patterns of socket bayonet and was also used with new pattern muskets. This particular bayonet is for the 1851 pattern musket. It is essentially the same as the 1842 pattern, but with a slightly smaller diameter socket.This 1851 pattern bayonet has an overall length of 528mm. The socket is 76mm in length with a muzzle diameter of 22.8mm. The blade is 427mm long. The triangular blade has twin fullers on the underside and a flat, un-fullered face.

Swiss Stgw. 57 Bayonet by Wenger. Description Double-edged spear-pointed blade, ribbed black plastic grip with concave grooves, steel crossbar hilt with muzzle ring, steel pommel with locking button. Black plastic scabbard with frog loop and leather frog strap, brown leather frog with strap and stud. The hilt is stamped on one side with the mark of Waffenfabrik Bern where the bayonet was assembled, composed of the letters &#acute;FW&#acute; and a Swiss cross arranged within a circle. It is stamped on the other side with &#acute;W&#acute; for the maker Wenger and the serial number &#acute;466664&#acute;. The scabbard is stamped at the throat with &#acute;P&#acute;. The Swiss government split the blade production contract for these bayonets 50:50 between the rival firms of Wenger and Victorinox, who had both been producing what they claimed was the bona fide Swiss Army Knife since 1908. The two firms competed until 2005, when a slump in sales due to tighter airport rules on pocket knives allowed Victorinox to acquire Wenger, uniting the brands under one roof. The rear side of the leather frog is stamped with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;U. REUSSER RÃ&156;FENACHT&#acute;. I believe this refers to the firm of Ulrich Reusser, founded in 1947 - this firm still exists today as Reusser Innendekorationen (Interior Decoration) AG, still trading in Rüfenacht, near Bern. Below this is stamped &#acute;87&#acute;, probably an item number. This bayonet fits the Swiss Sturmgewehr 57 (usually abbreviated to Stgw. 57) rifle, which was adopted by the Swiss military in 1957 to replace the M1931 (K31) bolt-action rifle.

Custom knives of this style sell for many hundreds of pounds.The 284mm single-edged blade has a flat spine above a single fuller and terminates in a yelman with a clip point. The blade is double-edged for the final 95mm and is in very good condition with only a few small patches of tarnish. The blade retains a sharp edge.The shaped buffalo horn grip is decorated with three bands of inlaid metal dots and has a brass bolster with a plated steel crosspiece. The tang of the blade is peened through the pommel of the grip. The blade is firm in the hilt.The knife is complete with its leather covered wooden scabbard with plated steel chape. The leather has scuffs and wear consistent with its age and use. The knife sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.This is a great looking knife, a good talking piece for any collection.
