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.

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. The base of the blade bears the remnants of a maker’s mark and the forte is deeply stamped with a Birmingham inspection mark.The bayonet is in good condition.

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 Vintage Clip-Point Yataghan Knife Circa 1970. #2511016. This vintage Indian made yataghan kukri knife is of surprisingly good quality for something that was probably made for the 1960-70’s tourist market. The style is mid-way between a traditional kukri and a clip-point Bowie knife. 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.
