Exposed steel tang and steel beaked pommel with locking button. Wood slab grips secured by two rivets. Plain steel scabbard with ball finial at the chape, oval rear frog hook. Black leather integral frog with brass rivets. Blade 8 1/8 inches in length, the bayonet 12Â½ inches overall, muzzle ring 15mm in diameter. The blade is stamped in the fuller on one side with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;REMINGTON ARMS Co. ILION, N.Y.&#acute; In 1899 Mexico purchased 7,702 Remington No. 5 rolling block rifles chambered in 7mm, which Remington designated the Model 1897. These rifles were fitted with a mixture of long and short bayonets, this example being the short type which was introduced first and made exclusively by Remington. The blade has areas of heavy pitting and dark patination, impacting the edge in places. The tip is rounded (approx. 1mm). The hilt and pommel are similarly pitted in places, the quillon has some scraping and is slightly bent to one side. The locking mechanism is fully functional. The wood grips have some denting on both sides. The scabbard is free of dents and has a patinated finish. The frog is missing its upper two rivets.

British Lee-Enfield No. 9 Knife Bayonet. Description Single-fullered bowie blade with clipped point, steel socket with locking mechanism. 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;. The reverse side of the frog&#acute;s belt loop is inked with markings, but these are so faint as to be illegible. The blade has some spots of patination and of cleaned pitting, including pitting at the tip on one side. Its edge has been sharpened. The bluing of the socket is intact apart from rubbing at raised edges, and the band of bluing remains at the base of the blade. The scabbard has two small dents and one larger dent on the reverse side, its bluing is likewise rubbed in places.

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.

East India Company 1841 Pattern Socket Bayonet. Description Socket bayonet with triangular blade, the broad face of the blade unfullered while the two narrower faces are fullered, the socket with distinctive enlarged socket rim with a crescent shaped hole. Brown leather scabbard with brass throat and chape pieces, the throat piece with teardrop shaped frog stud, the chape piece secured with steel rivets and with a drainage hole at the tip. Blade 17 inches in length, socket 3 inches, muzzle ring diameter 24mm, scabbard 15 7/8 inches in length The broad face of the blade is stamped at the forte with &#acute;E.B&#acute;, while the top of the socket is engraved with numerals including &#acute;5&#acute; “ these marks are faint and there are numerous small dents which may have been applied to cancel the markings. The chape piece of the scabbard is stamped with &#acute;C^15&#acute; where ^ is a broad arrow War Department mark. I believe this is an Indian mark, I have seen similar markings on Indian 1907 Pattern scabbard fittings. The blade and socket have some areas of light patination, some spots of light pitting and forging imperfections to the blade. The leather of the scabbard has some surface-level cracking, one chunk taken out of the front face next to the throat piece, some warping and abrasion to the seam on the reverse side, with an uneven line of stitching added as a repair. Some dents and spots of patination to the brass fittings. The chape piece is attached to the leather on only one side “ take care to support it once the blade has been withdrawn.

Afghan Mid-19th Century Peshkabz Knife. #2507008. This is a mid-19th Century pesh-kabz knife from Afghanistan. Pesh-kabz were designed and developed as fighting knives and are characterised by their hollow-ground, single-edged blades with a full tang to which a pair of grip scales are attached. The blade can be straight, curved or recurved (yataghan) with a thick, often T cross-section spine for strength and rigidity.The 258mm yataghan blade has a thick, T-section spine and terminates in a needle-sharp point. The blade is 44mm wide at the bolstered shoulder. The blade is very sharp and is in good condition with some small patches of shallow pitting and a speckled patina.The characteristic full tang hilt is gripped with bone scales. The bone has a wonderful patina. One scale is badly cracked. The broken pieces have been glued together and the scale is strong and firm, with no loose pieces. Aesthetically it isn’t great, but the cracks cannot be felt when running a finger over the bone. The scales are firmly fixed to the tang with iron rivets. The end of the tang forms a characteristic birds-head pommel that incorporates a skull crusher protrusion.The knife is complete with its brass covered wooden scabbard. The brass is intricately decorated with patterns made up of individually punched dots. The scabbard is in good condition with wear and dings commensurate with its age and use. The knife sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within its scabbard, aided by the downward curved continuation of the iron backstrap.This is a good example of an Afghan tribesman’s pesh-kabz knife.

French M1866 Chassepot Bayonet by St Etienne, 1871. Description Single-fullered &#acute;yataghan&#acute; downward-curving blade, cross hilt with muzzle ring and hooked lower quillon with ball finial. Ribbed cast brass grip and beaked pommel, attached to the tang with two steel rivets, one of which secures the external leaf spring which actuates the locking catch. Steel scabbard with frog loop. Blade length: 57.5cm (~22 5/8 inches), overall length 70cm (~27.5 inches), muzzle ring diameter 17.5mm. The spine of the blade is engraved in cursive script &#acute;St Etienne Mai 1871t, meaning it was made at the state arms factory at St Etienne in May 1871. The blade is stamped at the shoulder on one side with two French &#acute;poincon&#acute; inspection stamps. The upper face of the hilt and the quillon are stamped with further poincons, along with the number &#acute;4&#acute; and &#acute;248&#acute;. The hilt is stamped on one side with the serial number &#acute;J 70126&#acute;. The scabbard is stamped near the throat with the serial number &#acute;FG . 81366&#acute;, indicating a non-matching pair with the blade. 1871 was the first year of the new Third Republic, after the defeat of Napoleon III in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 brought about his deposition as Emperor and the end of the Second French Empire, making this one of the first &#acute;republican&#acute; marked bayonets. Its maker is marked simply as &#acute;St Etienne&#acute;, the plant shedding its old title of the &#acute;Manufacture Imperiale de St Etienne&#acute;. The blade is bright with some light spots of patination in the fullers and near the tip, some scratches to the edge bevel. A few small nicks to the edge, which is unsharpened.Â The hilt, steel parts in the grip and the scabbard have some light patination, the grip rivets and locking button are bright. The brass grip is lightly patinated with only a couple of tiny dents. The scabbard retains its original blueing with some spots of patination and a few small dents near the chape that do not interfere with sheathing and drawing.

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.

South African Vektor R1 Socket Bayonet (FN FAL). 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 nylon plastic scabbard with frog hook, steel universal-type throat piece and finial with drainage hole.

The Vektor R1 was the South African version of the FN FAL battle rifle chambered in the new NATO standard 7.62x51mm round. It was produced under license by the Lyttleton Engineering Works and formally adopted in 1960. The rifles and bayonets were each serial numbered, the first production rifle being numbered 200001. The R1 was declared militarily obsolete in the late 1990s, and the South African Army destroyed its stocks of R1 rifles in 2001, which at that time numbered 206,454. Surviving examples remain in service with the South African Police and National Parks rangers, and a number that were exported in the 1970s to what was Rhodesia have been sold as surplus.

Swedish M1896 Mauser Bayonet. #2410023. This Swedish Model 1896 bayonet is the Mk II variant with a conical locking stud. This example was made by Eskilstuna Jernmanufactur.

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.

Indian Kukri Knife Circa 1950. Bone Inlay Grip. #2508006. This Indian military style kukri has an interesting buffalo horn hilt with white and green bone inlay. It is not to be confused with poor quality tourist kukri that also have horn hilts.The 320mm hollow ground blade has a thick, ridged spine that tapers to a hatchet point. The blade is in excellent condition. A thin, deep fuller runs below the spine, ending on one side with a stamp stating “Tempered Steel. Made in India.” The blade retains a very sharp edge.The Cho at the base of the blade serves to stop blood, sap or other fluids from running onto the handle and making it slippery. The Cho is also believed to be a symbolic representation of a cows’ foot, a sacred animal to all Hindus.The buffalo horn hilt has a steel bolster. The grip flares to a broad oval at the base, with a brass pommel cap and tang nut through which the tang is peened. The belly of the grip has shaped, white bone insert. The sides of the grip have circular, green bone inserts, two on each side. These green inserts may cover rivets through the tang, or may be purely decorative. I am not familiar with the reason for the bone inlay and have not come across it before. The grip is in good condition and the blade is firm in the hilt.The wooden, leather covered scabbard is in good condition with scuffs consistent with its age and use. The leather lacing on the military style frog has perished. The kukri sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.This is a good Northern Indian Kukri dating to the first half of the 20th Century.
