British X2E1 Trials Bayonet for the X8 Rifle (FN FAL). Description Spear-pointed knife blade with partial false edge. Blade length 7 3/8 inches (18.7cm), 13 inches (33cm) overall. Steel hilt with muzzle ring and integral flash-hider prongs, wood grip scales held by two screws, exposed tang, steel pommel. Steel scabbard with frog hook and ball finial. The bayonet is stamped on the tang with &#acute;X2E1 5918&#acute;. The scabbard is stamped at the throat with &#acute;X1E1&#acute;. In the early 1950s the British Army, working in concert with counterparts in Australia and Canada, evaluated the Belgian-designed FN FAL rifle, chambered in the new NATO standard .7.62x51mm cartridge, as a possible replacement for the venerable Lee Enfield series of bolt-action rifles. Several thousand were ordered from FN in late 1953 / early 1954 for large-scale troop trials: some sources suggest there were 5,000 total but Skennerton & Richardson state (in British & Commonwealth Bayonets) that there was an initial batch of 1,100 sent to Britain and a subsequent batch of 14,530. These trials rifles were officially designated the X8 (different versions being X8E1 to X8E5), while the trials bayonets made in Belgium were designated the X2E1. While the FAL was a preexisting model, the design commissioned by the Commonwealth was bespoke: FN described the flash hider prongs on the bayonets, for example, as being &156;the British design&157;. The British Army ultimately adopted a refined version of the X8 as the L1A1 SLR, produced under license in the UK. The trials bayonets are rare today “ many probably did not survive the testing process and they were not compatible with the L1A1, which ultimately used a different bayonet closer to the British No. 5 and No. 7 types. Most X2 bayonets were serial numbered at the factory to match with a specific rifle “ in this case, rifle 5918. The scabbard being differently marked to the bayonet is not a mismatch: the X2 bayonet goes with the X1 scabbard because a previously designed X1 bayonet (for the cancelled EM-1 experimental bullpup rifle) used the pre-existing No. 5 scabbard.

Norwegian WW2 M1894 Krag Jorgensen Bayonet, by Kongsberg, Made Under Occupation with Waffenamt Stamp. 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. Blued steel scabbard with projecting hook on the throat piece to engage with the locking mechanism, brown leather frog with angled belt loop, riveted to the scabbard throat piece. Blade 8 3/8 inches in length, the bayonet 13Â¼ inches overall. The blade is stamped at the ricasso with a crowned &#acute;K&#acute;, the maker&#acute;s mark of the Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk (Kongsberg Weapons Factory) in Norway. Most M1894 bayonets were produced there, 101,750 made between 1912 and 1926. A new production run of the M1894s was ordered from Kongsberg during WW2 while Norway was under German occupation, these new bayonets bearing distinctive German Waffenamt stamps. This example is from this production run: its hilt is stamped on one side with a Waffenamt eagle inspection stamp with the code &#acute;WaA84&#acute;. A depot fire in 1941 destroyed 4,693 M1894 and M1916 bayonets, and 31,000 M1894s were converted to fit the M1 Carbine in 1956-57. This example remains in its original configuration to fit the Krag Jorgensen rifle. The blade has a bright finish with some small spots of light staining. The blade is unsharpened with no edge damage. Small spots of patination to the hilt, backstrap and pommel. The wood grips have only a few tiny dents. The scabbard body retains its original blued finish and has some small dents and manufacturing imperfections, the latter perhaps suggesting wartime economies in production. The leather frog is flexible, with all of its stitching intact, minor surface level cracking to the belt loop.

British Lee Enfield 1907 Pattern Bayonet, Transjordan Frontier Force, Dated 1917 by Sanderson. 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. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown over 1907 (the pattern) &#acute;8 &#acute;17&#acute;, indicating the manufacture date of August 1917, and the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;Sanderson&#acute;. 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; from Enfield and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating that it passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;T.J.F.F.&#acute;, indicating issue to the Transjordan Frontier Force, above &#acute;1085&#acute;, probably a rack number. The scabbard&#acute;s locket is stamped beside the staple with &#acute;RE&#acute; within a circle. The Transjordan Frontier Force was formed in 1926 by the British High Commissioner for Palestine to patrol and secure the borders of the relatively new Emirate of Transjordan, a British protectorate. Despite its name and area of activity, it was formally part of the imperial forces of Palestine, although security in the Transjordan was regarded as ensuring security for Palestine. were initially drawn from the Arab Legion, which was the regular army of the Transjordan, as well as the disbanded Palestine Gendarmerie, but the TJFF was much more a British creation than either of these, with up-to-date equipment and training. Using tactics for highly mobile desert fighting developed in WW1, the TJFF was composed primarily of cavalry (in the mounted infantry role), with a camel company (see attached picture, note the visible 1907 bayonets on the belts of each man) and later several mechanised companies of armoured cars equipped with Vickers machine guns. Its senior officers, majors and above, were all British while captains and below were a mixture of Arabs, Circassians, Sudanese and Jews. It was mainly tasked with supporting local police against civil unrest and banditry, preventing cross-border incursions from Ikhwan raiders, and discouraging expansion of Saudi Arabia and Syria into the new Emirate. During the Palestinian Revolt of 1939 it countered arms smuggling and illegal migration. In WW2 the TJFF was expanded to around 3,000 men, grouped into a cavalry regiment and a mechanised regiment. In May 1941 the mechanised D Company was ordered into Iraq as part of the campaign against the German-backed revolutionary government “ its soldiers refused to cross the border and reportedly pointed rifles at their officers, so the company was withdrawn and disbanded. Moving past this slight embarrassment, the TJFF successfully supported Allied forces in the Syrian campaign of June 1941, playing to its strengths as advance guard, scouts and flank protection for Indian Army infantry, as well as guarding the railway lines. It was deployed to the Turkish border in 1942, and its mechanised regiment was sent to the Persian Gulf in 1943 to help control locust swarms. In 1944 it returned to Syria as a peacekeeping force. After WW2 the TJFF was increasingly dragged into policing the spiralling violence between Jews and Arabs in Palestine, which inevitably made it unpopular. With Transjordan soon to become independent, the TJFF was disbanded in 1948 and its members absorbed into the Arab Legion, which became the modern Jordanian Armed Forces. The blade is clean and has an even finish, with some polishing marks and small nicks to its edge towards the end of the fuller. There are a few noticeable dents to the wood grip on the outer side (as worn). Some patination to the hilt, pommel and scabbard parts all have a bright finish “ any original blued finish may have been polished off. Speckled pitting to the scabbard parts.

German Mauser M1871 Bayonet, 66th Infantry Regiment, dated 1873 by Wilhelm & Co, Suhl. Description Single fullered, spear pointed blade. Steel hilt with forward upper quillon atop the muzzle ring and reverse lower quillon. Brass grip with beaked pommel, steel external leaf spring for the locking mechanism. Black leather scabbard with brass fittings at the throat and chape. Blade 18 3/8 inches in length, the bayonet 23Â½ inches overall. The hilt is stamped with the unit mark &#acute;66.R.6.6&#acute;, indicating that it belonged with rifle number 6 of the 6th Company, 66th Infantry Regiment. The blade is stamped at the ricasso on one side with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;E WILHELM SUHL&#acute;, indicating Ernst Wilhelm & Cie, a manufacturer based in the city of Suhl in Thuringen. The 1871 Pattern was the only bayonet produced by this firm. The spine of the blade is stamped with a crown and &#acute;W73&#acute;, indicating that it was manufactured in 1873 during the reign of Wilhelm I, as well as an acceptance stamp. The pommel is stamped next to the locking button with a worn crown acceptance mark. Please note: the scabbard on this example is a reproduction, which is very close to the original but lacks any markings and is missing a few more subtle features (like the incised lines on the frog hook). The bayonet itself is an original antique. The tip of the blade has been broken about 2mm short and there are some chips to its edge. The blade has some patination and areas of cleaned pitting. Some light patination to the hilt, the brass grip has an even patina with some light dents and scratches. The scabbard has no significant wear.

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.

French Model 1842 Yataghan Sword Bayonet. Chatellerault 1854. #2407030. This French M1842 Yataghan sword bayonet made at the Chatellerault armoury in 1854 for issue during the Crimean War (1853-1856). These sword bayonets were used with several variations of French carbine rifle. The M1842 is a formidable bayonet, a far more robust forerunner to the often-encountered M1866 Chassepot bayonet. The heavy 574mm yataghan blade has a flat, T-section spine above a long, single fuller on each side and tapers to a double-edged spear point. The spine is engraved with the Chatellerault armoury details, pattern designation and the production date of September, 1854. The blade is in excellent condition. The blade was service sharpened. The ricasso bears the stamp of the Chatellerault armoury director, Augustin Fadates de Saint-Georges, a crowned letter F within an oval. Chef d’ Escadron (Commandant) Fadates de Saint-Georges was Director of the armoury from 21st August 1852. The second stamp is that of the armouries’ Reviseurs, Francois Antoine Schutz, an oval containing a star above the letter S. Schutz was a Chatellerault Reviseurs from July 1853. The obverse ricasso is stamped with the letter C or G. The steel crosspiece has a slightly hooked, rear facing quillon and a coxcomb on the muzzle ring. The steel bears a serial number, 5531, corresponding to the serial number of the musket with which it was paired. The ribbed brass grip is in excellent condition and the external spring catch is in good working order. The blade is firm in the hilt. The bayonet is complete with its rolled steel scabbard. The scabbard is in excellent condition and is marked on the ball finial and at the throat. The blade sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard. This is an increasingly hard to find Crimean War period French M1842 yataghan sword bayonet in excellent condition.
