Indian WW2 1907 Pattern Mk II* Bayonet, by Ishapore. Description Straight unfullered knife blade with clipped point and 2-inch false edge. Wood grips secured by two screws, beaked pommel with oil hole. Brown leather scabbard with steel throat and chape, khaki canvas frog with retaining strap. Blade 11Â¾ inches in length, the bayonet 16Â½ inches overall. 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;Mk 2*&#acute;, the bayonet model, &#acute;7 43&#acute;, meaning the bayonet was manufactured in July 1943, and &#acute;R.F.I&#acute;, meaning the manufacturer, the Rifle Factory Ishapore. Notably, the British crown and initials, as well as the manufacture date, have later been cancelled with strikethrough marks. It is stamped on the other side with three Indian inspection marks, two of them visibly cancelled, as well as the letter &#acute;FR&#acute; and &#acute;53&#acute;, indicating that the bayonet underwent Factory Repair in 1953. It is likely that while the bayonet was being refurbished, the British marks were cancelled to reflect India&#acute;s independent status “ bayonets newly manufactured post-independence used the symbol of the Ashoka in place of the imperial crown. The pommel is stamped next to the oil hole with &#acute;092&#acute;. The scabbard is stamped at the throat with a broad arrow War Department stores mark, as well as the letter &#acute;R&#acute;. There are faint inked markings on the rear of the belt frog, which I think read in part &#acute;M236&#acute;. The use of the Arabic numeral &#acute;2&#acute; for the model number is also curious, as other examples I have seen use the Roman numerals &#acute;II&#acute;. Inconsistent or even incorrect factory stamping is a known phenomenon with Indian bayonets - See British & Commonwealth Bayonets by Skennerton & Richardson, p348 and 349. These bayonets were made to fit the many SMLE No. 1 rifles made at Ishapore. The Mk II began the process of progressive simplification of the 1907 Pattern in Indian service, having a new unfullered blade (the Mk I used shortened original blades) but the hilt, grips and pommel were all left unchanged. Later models modified the pommel and grips to further reduce the number of manufacturing steps required. The Mk II* was simply the Mk II with the addition of a false edge to the blade. The blade, hilt and pommel retain their original blued finish except on raised edges like the locking button, as do the throat and chape pieces of the scabbard. A few small dents to the wood grips, one small chip on one side next to the pommel. The scabbard leather is very good with only a few light dents and abrasions.

Indian WW2 1907 Pattern Mk II* Bayonet, by Jhelum Arsenal. Description Straight unfullered knife blade with clipped point and 2-inch false edge. Wood grips secured by two screws, beaked pommel with oil hole. Black leather scabbard with steel throat and chape. Blade 12 inches in length, the bayonet 16 5/8 inches overall. The bayonet is stamped on one side at the ricasso with &#acute;Mk. II&#acute;, the bayonet model, &#acute;11 43&#acute;, meaning the bayonet was manufactured in November 1943, and &#acute;JU&#acute;, meaning the manufacturer was the Jhelum Arsenal (in what is now Pakistan). It is stamped on the other side with two Indian inspection marks. The throat piece of the scabbard is stamped next to the staple on one side with &#acute;C^117&#acute;, with ^ being a broad arrow War Department mark, and the number &#acute;8&#acute; overstamped. The alphanumeric code may indicate a particular contractor and is similar to the British wartime numbering system for that purpose. The chape piece of the scabbard is likewise stamped on one side with &#acute;C^117&#acute;, with &#acute;I.M.&#acute; overstamped. These bayonets were made to fit the many SMLE No. 1 rifles made at Ishapore. The Mk II began the process of progressive simplification of the 1907 Pattern in Indian service, having a new unfullered blade (the Mk I used shortened original blades) but the hilt, grips and pommel were all left unchanged. Later models modified the pommel and grips to further reduce the number of manufacturing steps required. The Mk II* was simply the Mk II with the addition of a false edge to the blade. You may notice that the model stamp is incorrect “ this is certainly a MkII* due to its false edge, 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 349: they write that &156;some of the MkII* conversions were not marked with the additional &#acute;*&#acute;&156;. The blade, hilt and pommel retain their original blued finish. A few small dents to the wood grips, one small chip on one side next to the hilt. The scabbard leather is very good with only a few light dents and abrasions.

British Indian Army 1907 Pattern Bayonet. Upper Edge. Blackened Blade. #2401020. This is an interesting British WW1 Pattern 1907 Lee-Enfield rifle bayonet made in 1918 by Sanderson, of Sheffield. The bayonet was later modified in 1923 by having an upper edge ground in and the blade blackened. It is likely that this is an Indian refurbished bayonet. Many post WW1 Indian bayonets (which were modelled on the P1907) have a blackened blade with an upper edge ground into them.The 420mm single-edged blade has a long narrow fuller and rounded spine that terminates in a short, 45mm upper edge. The long, single edge was service sharpened. The blade is in good condition and retains its black finish with a small patch of minor pitting on the spine.The ricasso is marked with George V crowned royal cypher over the pattern date 1907. The date of manufacture, 2 18 (February 1918) is stamped above the Sanderson makers’ name.The obverse ricasso bears a bend test stamp, War Department arrow and four Enfield inspection and acceptance stamps. An additional date, ‘23 (1923) is also stamped into the ricasso. The absence of any Indian factory and refurbishment marks is not unusual, as marking of Indian bayonets was rather hit and miss.The crosspiece, muzzle ring and pommel retain their blued finish and are in good condition. The press-stud catch is in perfect working order. The grip scales are in good condition with wear and colouration consistent with age and use.The bayonet is complete with its leather scabbard with a round frog stud. The scabbard is in good condition. The steel locket and chape retain their original finish with shallow pitting to the chape. Interestingly, the locket is stamped with the War Department arrow instead of a factory inspection mark. The leather of the scabbard is in good condition and the stitching is intact and strong. The bayonet sheathes smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.This is an interesting, re-profiled 1907 pattern bayonet with a blackened blade, probably of Indian army issue..

French M1886/93/16/35 Lebel Bayonet. Description Cruciform shortened spike blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring, brass grip, tubular steel scabbard. Brown leather frog, outer side painted black. Blade 33.5cm (13Â¼ inches) in length, the bayonet 45.5cm (~18 inches) overall. The hilt is stamped with a serial number which is beneath paint, making it only partly legible. The blade has an inspection mark &#acute;T&#acute; to the forte. The 1886/93/16 bayonet pattern fitted to the M1886 Lebel and M1907 Berthier rifles used by the French Army during WW1, and was the third version of the M1886 (which was revised in 1893 and 1916). This version had a simplified flat locking button and was manufactured without the quillon found on earlier types. The brass handle was another expediency measure to increase production “ German silver (cupro-nickel-zinc alloy) was the original material. In 1935 many of the various types of Lebel bayonets in the French arsenals had their blades shortened to 13Â¼ inches by removing the slender tip and repointing. The shorter blades were considered less prone to breakage, and perhaps with the decline of the bayonet in warfare additional reach was less important than ease of carry. The scabbards were also modified to match “ this one has been cut down to size by removing the lower section, with the chape end (with drainage hole) then reattached by brazing. The blade has some spots of patination, particularly towards the reshaped tip. The scabbard has a few small dents and some losses to the black gloss paint, revealing patinated steel. The hilt has the same black paint, in the same condition. The brass grip has tiny dents. The leather frog is flexible, with all if its stitching intact. There is one small tear to the edge of the leather on the rear side belt loop, not enough to threaten its integrity. Some surface cracking to the unpainted rear side, and rubbing of the paint in high-wear areas on the front side, revealing the brown leather.

British WW1 1913 Pattern Bayonet, Dated 9/1916 by Remington. Description Unfullered spear pointed blade, wood scale grips with two brass rivets. Steel pommel and hilt with short quillon and muzzle ring. Brown leather scabbard with steel throat and chape. Blade 11.97 inches in length (304mm), the bayonet 16.69 inches overall (424mm). This bayonet is a little unusual in that it is completely unmarked with no reference to its maker or any government service. Its muzzle ring has been bushed to around 14.7mm in diameter (the standard for the 1888 Pattern being 16.5mm). Both the bayonet and its scabbard seem to be subtly non-standard, a good but not 100% correct rendition of the Pattern. Putting these factors together this might be the &#acute;India Pattern&#acute; version of the 1888 bayonet - approved in 1904, this version&#acute;s modification &#acute;consisted merely of bushing the muzzle ring to suit the smaller diameter of the Lee-Enfield cavalry carbine barrel, which would make the MRD of the bayonet about 14.7mm&#acute; (see British & Commonwealth Bayonets by Skennerton & Richardson p342, or British Commonwealth Bayonets and Fighting Knives by Skennerton & Labudda p370). If the bayonet was actually produced in India that might explain its non-standard construction. As shown in Skennerton some rough copies of the 1888 Pattern were made for State Forces in India which were distinctly cruder than the official version “ this example is better-made and closer in form to the Pattern than those. Alternatively this might be one of the &#acute;trade&#acute; or &#acute;commercial&#acute; 1888 bayonets, which were not made as part of any government contract and were instead sold to Volunteer units or private buyers by firms including Wilkinson and Greener. These generally bear no government markings, although not even bearing a maker&#acute;s mark is unusual. Some trade bayonets were even assembled from surplus parts, bought up after the end of the official production by Greener. Spare-parts bayonets can show unusual features including having clearance holes on both the pommel and the grips (Mk I grips having been paired with a Mk II or III pommel) or, like this example, no clearance holes at all. The blade is bright with only some tiny spots of very light patination. It is unsharpened with no edge damage. The hilt, exposed tang and pommel have a dark even patina. The wood grips have only a couple of tiny shallow dents and little handling wear, their finish generally lustrous with visible grain. The throat and chape pieces of the scabbard are deeply blued with only small spots of wear to the finish. The chape piece of the scabbard is essentially a tube, open at the bottom “ this may have been deliberate to allow drainage or there may have been a small end plate that has been lost. The leather of the scabbard has some light creasing from bending and a few small spots of rubbing, but is generally good and flexible, with its stitching all intact.
