British No.7 Land Service Bayonet. Poole 1946. #2410019. British No.7 Mk1/L, Land Service Bayonet.These scarce bayonets were made for use with the Sten Mk V sub machine gun. Originally, they were also intended for the Lee Enfield No.4 rifle but after incidents involving rounds hitting the muzzle ring they were only issued with this rifle for parade purposes.The No7 Mk 1 Land service bayonet was designed in 1944 and a total of only 330,000 were produced. The design was perfected by the Wilkinson Sword Co., who produced 1,000 bayonets in 1944 and subsequent production was carried out by four others makers from 1945 until 1948. The bayonet’s innovative design with its unique swiveling pommel allowed it to be both bayonet and fighting knife with deep finger grooves in the hilt which is made of resin impregnated cloth called Paxolin.The 207mm clip point blade has a deep single fuller on both sides and is in excellent condition. The blade retains its original polished finish with some slight scratches and scabbard wear. The ricasso is stamped with the bayonet’s designation “No.7 Mk 1/L.” The obverse ricasso bears the date, 1946 and the Poole factory maker’s mark, a letter P inside a circle.The swivel pommel is in perfect working order and retains its original black finish with mild use related wear. The block is stamped with an arrow mark, as is the release mechanism. The Paxolin grips are in very good condition.The bayonet is complete with its No.5 scabbard in very good condition. The top of the scabbard is stamped with a Broad Arrow mark.This is a scarce and highly collectable bayonet in great condition.

British WW1 1913 Pattern Bayonet, Dated 1917 by Remington. Description Straight single-fullered knife blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring, wood slab grips with characteristic pair of cut grooves on each slab, secured by two screws. Steel beaked pommel with oil hole and locking button. Brown leather scabbard with steel locket & chape piece, the locket with teardrop frog stud. The ricasso is stamped on one side with &#acute;1913 6 17&#acute;, indicating that it is the 1913 Pattern, manufactured in April 1917, and the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;Remington&#acute; within a circle. On the other side it is stamped with a &#acute;broad arrow&#acute; War Department stores mark, two crown inspection marks with &#acute;A&#acute; for America and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating that it passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The leather section of the scabbard is stamped next to the seam with another broad arrow, another crown inspection stamp with &#acute;A&#acute; and its manufacture date &#acute;17. The U.S. made 1913 Pattern bayonets, having identical blades to the British 1907 Pattern, were entirely compatible with British scabbards and vice versa. Inspired by the German Mauser M98 rifle, the experimental Pattern 1913 Enfield was intended to be the next generation British infantry rifle, firing the new .276 cartridge. The outbreak of war curtailed its development and the well-established SMLE was retained in service instead. However with an urgent need for rifles the government opted to redesign the 1913 to take the existing .303 cartridge, calling this new rifle the Pattern 1914 (NB: the bayonet&#acute;s design did not require modifications, therefore it remained the &#acute;1913 Pattern&#acute; bayonet). The production of these rifles and their bayonets was contracted to American manufacturers “ an early handful were made by Vickers but it was clear that British plants were best left to make the SMLE. Remington was the largest manufacturer of the 1914 Pattern and its associated bayonet, producing 1,243,000 of the bayonets between 1916 and 1917. The 1914&#acute;s design was vindicated in that it proved to be more accurate than its predecessor and it was deployed principally as a sniper rifle, the Winchester-made rifles in particular thought to be of high quality, suitable for fitting with telescopic sights. It saw service again during WW2 as rear echelon equipment, e.g. with the British Home Guard, although some were again used in a sniper configuration. The distinctive pattern of frog that has been fitted suggests that it this bayonet was issued to the Home Guard during WW2. The 1913 Pattern should not be confused with the M1917 Enfield, also known as the &#acute;American Enfield&#acute;, which was essentially the same rifle design, this time adopted by the Americans and rechambered in their own .30-06 Springfield cartridge. Its bayonet was also essentially the same as the British model, but with US service marks and a &#acute;1917&#acute; pattern stamp. The blade has some small chips to its edge near the end of the fuller. The edge is sharp and the tip is undamaged. It retains its original parkerised finish and blued area at the ricasso. The hilt, exposed tang and pommel have a blued finish. The wood grips have only a few very small dents. The scabbard fittings retain their original blued finish with no dents and only minor wear to raised edges like the frog stud. The leather body of the scabbard has some rubbing and one small nick on one edge, all of its stitching is intact.

The pommel is stamped with the serial number &#acute;71925&#acute;.

The ricasso, hilt and pommel have a blued finish with wear to raised edges like the locking button. The wood grips have some dents. The scabbard fittings have a blued finish, over which olive green paint has been applied. This paint has chipped in places, particularly raised edges, exposing the blued steel, which has also rubbed in a few spots exposing bright steel (eg the frog stud and chape end).

British WW2 Naval Contract Lanchester SMG Bayonet. Description Straight single-fullered spear pointed 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 & circular frog stud and steel chape piece. Khaki canvas frog. Blade 17Â¼ inches, 22 inches overall. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown with &#acute;GR&#acute; over 1907 (the pattern) &#acute;S294&#acute;, the wartime manufacturer code assigned to Wilkinson, &#acute;W S C&#acute; for Wilkinson Sword Company, and &#acute;7 _4&#acute;, indicating the manufacture date of July 1944. On the other side it is stamped with a &#acute;broad arrow&#acute; War Department stores mark, a crown inspection stamp, an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating the blade passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The reverse of the frog is inked with lettering including &#acute;CN / AA / 0996&#acute;. The Lanchester was a British 9mm calibre submachine gun inspired by the German Bergmann, manufactured during the Second World War and primarily used by the Royal Navy. While the Lanchester was compatible with the existing stocks of 1907 pattern bayonets produced for the Lee Enfield No.1 rifle, in 1943 the Admiralty placed an order with Wilkinson for 87,600 new bayonets with a blackened finish on the blade. The bayonets for this contract all carry the &#acute;S294&#acute; code used by Wilkinson from 1942 and have a different style of marking to older production 1907s. The blade has been chromed, which partly obscures its markings. Some wear to this chrome finish at the tip and along the edge, with spots of light patination. The scabbard fittings are likewise chromed, this has worn more substantially with patination to the exposed steel, one dent to the chape piece. Some movement to both fittings. Mottled patination to the hilt and pommel. The wood grips are undamaged with only a few small dents. The scabbard leather is good with only minor dents and abrasions to the front side. The frog is good with no loss of stitching.

US M1873 Socket Bayonet for the Springfield Trapdoor Rifle, Massachusetts National Guard. Description Socket bayonet for the Model 1873 .45-70 Springfield Trapdoor rifle, with fullered triangular blade and steel scabbard. Scabbard with drainage hole and frog hanging hook, black leather frog with rotating belt loop. The ricasso of the blade is stamped &#acute;MASS US&#acute;. The brass swivel of the belt frog is also cast with &#acute;MASS&#acute; indicating that it was made for the Massachusetts National Guard. The leather inside of the scabbard loop is also roughly inscribed with &#acute;AL&#acute;, presumably a soldier&#acute;s initials. The last model of standard-issue socket bayonet, the M1873 was used with the 1873 and 1879 &#acute;Trapdoor&#acute; Springfield rifles, until 1884 when the new model introduced a rod bayonet. Both bayonet and scabbard have been deeply blued and retain a great deal of this original finish. The leather frog is partly cracked along the seam attaching the semicircular &#acute;ear&#acute; piece to the scabbard loop “ it can support its own weight but should be handled with care. Some very minor flaking to the frog&#acute;s surface in places. The loop still rotates freely. One small dent to the flat side of the scabbard body.

American M1 Garand Rifle Bayonet. WW2. #2410020. The American M1 Garand rifle was a staple of the US infantry during WW2. Initially, the M1 Garand rifle utilised the M1905 bayonet with its 16” (41cm) blade shortened to 10 inches (25cm). From 1943, new M1 bayonets were produced with a 25cm blade.This bayonet was made by the Utica Cutlery Co. The bayonet utilises the hardwood grips of the M1905 suggesting that its manufacture was early in 1943 while stocks of the M1905 bayonet grips were still available. Later production bayonets have plastic grips.The 250mm single-edged blade has a flat spine above a deep single fuller and terminates in a double-edged spear point. The blade is double-edged for the final 60mm and retains its original factory edges. The blade is in good condition and retains its original black finish with only minor scabbard wear.The ricasso is stamped with the Utica Cutlery Co. U. C. mark and the US Ordnance Department flaming grenade logo between the “US” government mark.The walnut grip scales are in excellent condition and are fixed firmly to the tang. The press-stud mechanism is in crisp working order. The bird-beak pommel retains its original black finish with minor wear.The bayonet is complete with its M7 scabbard which was produced from 1943. The scabbard body is made of resin-impregnated canvas with a metal throat incorporating a wire hook belt hanger. The scabbard is in good condition with minor wear to the tip. The bayonet locks tightly and draws smoothly from the scabbard.This is a great example of a US WW2 made M1 Garand rifle bayonet.

British WW1 Lee Enfield 1907 Pattern Bayonet, King’s Own Scottish Borderers, Dated 1917 by Wilkinson. 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. Brown 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;11 &#acute;17&#acute;, indicating the manufacture date of November 1917, and the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;WILKINSON&#acute; indicating the Wilkinson Sword Company. On the other side it is stamped with a &#acute;broad arrow&#acute; War Department stores mark, four crown inspection marks with &#acute;E&#acute; from Enfield, a reissue stamp dated &#acute;2_ (the second digit illegible), and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating that it passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;DEP.&#acute; over &#acute;K.O.S.B.&#acute;, indicating issue to the regimental depot of the King&#acute;s Own Scottish Borderers, above &#acute;288&#acute;, probably a rack number. The leather of the scabbard is stamped with another broad arrow, and at least one crown inspection mark, these marks being faint from rubbing. The chape piece of the scabbard is stamped with &#acute;RE&#acute; for Remington. The King&#acute;s Own Scottish Borderers was formed in 1689 as the Earl of Leven’s, or Edinburgh, Regiment of Foot, created to defend Edinburgh against rising Jacobite forces. It distinguished itself at the Battle of Killiecrankie and remained in existence recruiting from the City of Edinburgh. From 1805 its recruitment area shifted to the Scottish Borders, and it was granted the title of the 25th (King&#acute;s Own Borderers) Regiment of Foot. In 1887 it became The King’s Own Scottish Borderers. The regimental depot was Berwick Barracks in Berwick-Upon-Tweed, from 1881 to 1963. A regiment&#acute;s depot was its base for recruitment & training, and housed regimental stores. As this bayonet is actually marked to the depot rather than any specific battalion within the regiment it was probably used there in a training role towards the end of WW1, and its reissue stamp suggests continued service in the interwar period. The depot would have been a busy place during the war, with the new 6th, 7th and 8th Battalions formed there before their eventual deployment to France. As the size of the British Army contracted following the Second World War the KOSB was one of few regiments to remain intact rather than amalgamating “ this finally ended in 2006 when all five remaining Scottish regiments merged into the Royal Regiment of Scotland. Briefly the KOSB maintained its own identity as a battalion within the regiment but within months it merged with the Royal Scots Battalion to form the Royal Scots Borderers, 1st Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland. This battalion was designated Specialised Infantry in 2016, tasked with a role closer to that of special forces, training and fighting with forces of partner nations. In 2018, for instance, it trained units of the Nigerian Army to fight against Boko Haram. In 2021 the specialised infantry was completely reorganised into the Army Special Operations Brigade, and in the process the Royal Scots Borderers was disbanded, its personnel transferring to the 1st Battalion of the newly created Ranger Regiment. As this was not an amalgamation the KOSB&#acute;s lineage formally ends there, and the four battalions of the Rangers do not appear to have retained previous regimental identities or traditions. The blade has a few spots of patination, small areas of light pitting, and sharpening marks along its edge, which has a number of small nicks. The tip is slightly worn by sharpening and usage. The wood grips are in good shape with only a few dents. The hilt, pommel and scabbard parts all have a blued finish, with some wear and patination. The leather body of the scabbard has some surface rubbing and a couple of dents - all of its stitching remains intact. Some light dents and pitting to the chape.

Steel pommel with locking button, black painted steel scabbard with frog stud, khaki canvas frog. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;C&#acute; and &#acute;D&#acute; within circles on one side. The grips are stamped, one with &#acute;L1A3 9600257 D66&#acute;, the other identical but with &#acute;D67&#acute;. L1A3 is the model, 9600257 is its NATO stores number, the &#acute;D&#acute; with a stroke extending from the vertical is a mark of the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, while 66 and 67 are the respective dates of manufacture of those components. The blade is stamped at the ricasso on one side with &#acute;67&#acute;. The hilt is stamped with a broad arrow Ministry of Defence ownership stamp, and the letter &#acute;C&#acute;. The rear side of the frog is inked with &#acute;23646773&#acute;. The L1A3 bayonet for the SLR rifle was sealed as a pattern in 1958, some made by converting the earlier L1A1 and some newly manufactured. This new example has a notably long ricasso, a feature introduced in the mid-1960s intended to strengthen the blade. The blade retains its black parkerised finish with only tiny bright spots of wear on raised edges. Likewise some spots of wear to the paint on raised edges of the hilt, grips and pommel, a few very small chips and scratches to the scabbard&#acute;s paint.

British 1895 Pattern Socket Bayonet for the .303 Martini-Enfield, by Wilkinson 1912. Description Steel socket bayonet with triangular blade. Black leather Mk II scabbard with brass throat and chape pieces and two brass rivets to the leather section. Blade 21 5/8 inches (547mm) in length from the shoulder, the bayonet 25 inches overall (635mm), muzzle ring diameter 16.5mm. The blade is marked at the ricasso on the broadest side with a broad arrow War Department stores mark, the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;WSC&#acute; for the Wilkinson Sword Company, a crown inspection mark with &#acute;E&#acute; for Enfield, the date 2 &#acute;12 indicating that it was converted in February 1912, and two broad arrows point to point, indicating equipment that was declared obsolete or to be sold off. The narrower lower sides of the blade are also stamped, one with the number &#acute;30&#acute;, this being cancelled with a strikethrough, and the other with non-English script markings, possibly serial numbers, one of these also being cancelled. The 1895 Pattern socket bayonet was produced by converting existing stocks of the 1876 Pattern. It was intended to fit to the Martini-Enfield, which was itself a conversion of existing Martini-Henry rifles to accept the new .303 British cartridge. This required the bayonets to be bushed to fit a smaller diameter barrel and their sockets remodelled to mount the blade below the barrel instead of to the side. The conversion stamps seen on this bayonet are unusual: the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield is usually listed as the sole site for production of the 1895 Pattern, with conversion work taking place there between 1895 and 1902. However, Graham Priest writes that Wilkinson also performed some conversions (see Socket Bayonets, page 72). Nonetheless the clearly marked date of 1912 is remarkably late for conversion to have still been taking place, though the non-English script markings on this example may suggest that it was done for Commonwealth service (perhaps India or Nepal?). The Martini-Enfield hung around for many years after its official replacement since the .303 round remained current and readily available. It was in service in some capacity in New Zealand and India through WW1 and beyond, was widely seen in the Middle East, was used by South African cadet forces until the mid-20th century, and in Britain some remained stored in armouries long enough to be issued to Home Guard units in WW2. The blade is clean and bright with only a few patches of very light patination. The socket retains almost all of its blued finish. A few small dents and scratches to the scabbard fittings, which have a moderate patina, and similarly some rubbing and dents to the leather section. All of its stitching is intact.

Norwegian M1894 Bayonet Converted for the M1 Carbine. 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. Muzzle ring attached by brazing, 1.45cm in diameter. Steel scabbard with projecting hook on the throat piece to engage with the locking mechanism, integral green canvas frog with wire loop webbing hooks and buttoned retaining strap, also attached by brazing to the scabbard body. Blade 21.3cm in length, the bayonet 33.5cm overall. The blade is stamped at the ricasso on one side with the crown and cypher of King Haakon VII, and on the other side with a crown and &#acute;K&#acute;, the maker&#acute;s mark of Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk (Kongsberg Weapons Factory). The hilt is stamped with the serial number &#acute;9750&#acute;. The throat piece of the scabbard is stamped with the serial number &#acute;74894&#acute;. Norway received rifles from the United States under its Military Assistance Program from 1950 until 1963, with nearly 100,000 M1 and M2 Carbines delivered. The M1 was designated the Selvladekarabin M1 (Self-loading Carbine M1) in Norwegian service. Some US-made M4 bayonets for these rifles were delivered but were clearly insufficient in number, as Norway manufactured its own copy of the M4 bayonet at the Kongsberg arsenal, then opted to convert some of its existing stocks of M1894 bayonets made for the Krag Jorgensen rifle to fit the M1. Norway had an oversupply of this bayonet due to a new production run ordered in 1943 during their occupation by Nazi Germany. 30,000 bayonets were modified in 1956-57, probably at Kongsberg, by brazing on a new muzzle ring and modifying the locking mechanism in the mortise. A further 1,000 were converted by the Hærens Våpentekniske Korps. This is not one of the wartime production run (which have Waffenamt stamps, and lack a ball finial on the scabbard), but an original M1894, made between 1912 and 1926. The blade has some nicks to its edge, which is unsharpened. All metal parts have a blued finish, which shows little wear. The wood grip scales have only a few tiny dents. Some scratching to the reverse side of the scabbard, no denting.

Norwegian M1894 Bayonet Converted for the M1 Carbine. 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. Muzzle ring attached by brazing, 1.45cm in diameter. Steel scabbard with projecting hook on the throat piece to engage with the locking mechanism, integral green canvas frog with wire loop webbing hooks and buttoned retaining strap, also attached by brazing to the scabbard body. Blade 20.6cm in length, 32.6cm overall. The blade is stamped at the ricasso with a crown and &#acute;K&#acute;, the maker&#acute;s mark of Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk (Kongsberg Weapons Factory). The hilt is stamped with &#acute;7&#acute;. The throat piece of the scabbard is stamped with the serial number &#acute;8174&#acute;. Norway received rifles from the United States under its Military Assistance Program from 1950 until 1963, with nearly 100,000 M1 and M2 Carbines delivered. The M1 was designated the Selvladekarabin M1 (Self-loading Carbine M1) in Norwegian service. Some US-made M4 bayonets for these rifles were delivered but were clearly insufficient in number, as Norway manufactured its own copy of the M4 bayonet at the Kongsberg arsenal, then opted to convert some of its existing stocks of M1894 bayonets made for the Krag Jorgensen rifle to fit the M1. Norway had an oversupply of this bayonet due to a new production run ordered in 1943 during their occupation by Nazi Germany. 30,000 bayonets were modified in 1956-57, probably at Kongsberg, by brazing on a new muzzle ring and modifying the locking mechanism in the mortise. A further 1,000 were converted by the Hærens Våpentekniske Korps. This is not one of the wartime production run (which have Waffenamt stamps, and lack a ball finial on the scabbard), but an original M1894, made between 1912 and 1926. All metal parts have a blued finish, with a small amount of wear on raised edges, eg the beak of the pommel. Some small dents to the chape end of the scabbard, which do not interfere with sheathing. One of the grip scales (on the inside as worn) has a small crack next to the locking button and denting to its surface.

Portuguese M1886 Kropatschek Bayonet by Steyr. Description Yataghan curved single-fullered blade, crossbar hilt with upper muzzle ring and quillon and lower circular finial, black wood grips, plain steel scabbard with frog hook. No maker&#acute;s mark to the spine of the blade “ it may have been removed by polishing. The frog stud of the scabbard is marked &#acute;WG&#acute;, a Steyr factory mark. Hilt marked &#acute;N159&#acute;, scabbard marked at the throat with &#acute;RR884&#acute;. 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.
