Peruvian M1935 Bayonet, by FN Herstal. Description Single fullered spear pointed knife blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring and protruding rivets, wood scale grips attached by two screws, steel beaked pommel with locking button. Steel scabbard painted black with frog hook and ball finial, brown leather frog. The end of the pommel is stamped with the serial number &#acute;27955&#acute;. The Czech-designed vz. 24, or M1924, rifle was a derivative of the M1898 Mauser rifle that could be chambered in multiple calibres depending on customer demand, making it a very popular export product: it went through several iterations and was sold to many countries but particularly to South America, featuring heavily in local conflicts of the 1920s and &#acute;30s such as the Chaco War and Ecuadorian“Peruvian War. The Peruvians initially purchased 5,000 vz. 32 short rifles and bayonets (an internally reworked version of the vz. 24) from the Czech factory at Brno, which they called the Modelo 1932, but when in 1935 they wished to make a larger order for 30,000 more short rifles they went instead to the Belgian firm FN Herstal, who produced for them a rifle and bayonet similar to their previous order but further customised to their specifications: a Belgian-made Peruvian-style clone of a Czech gun based on a German gun. In service this was called the Fusil Corto Peruano Modelo 1935. The bayonets made for these rifles are copies of the Czech design but with the blade oriented edge-down. They are all completely unmarked apart from their distinctive 5-digit serial number stamped on the end of the pommel. The blade retains almost all of its original parkerised finish, with some wear on raised edges revealing bright steel, light patination in places. The hilt and pommel similarly had a blued finish, which has mostly rubbed to expose steel. Some denting to the wood grips and the end of the pommel. The scabbard has almost all its gloss black paint, with a little chipping in places such as the finial and frog stud. The leather of the frog is in good condition with no loss of stitching.

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 III Bayonet by North West Railways. Description Plain unfullered knife blade with clipped point and 2-inch false edge. Wood grips secured by two screws, squared pommel with oil hole. Black leather scabbard with iron throat and chape, khaki canvas frog. The bayonet is stamped on one side at the ricasso with &#acute;II*&#acute;, the bayonet model, &#acute;44&#acute;, meaning the bayonet was manufactured in 1944, and &#acute;N.W.R.&#acute;, meaning the manufacturer, the North West Railways workshop at Moghulpura, Lahore. This was a rolling-stock repair shop that was turned to producing bayonets during the war. It remains in operation to this day as part of Pakistan Railways. The throat of the scabbard is stamped with the serial number &#acute;13238&#acute;. The reverse of the frog is stencilled with &#acute;M.W.&S. Ltd 1941&#acute;, which stands for the manufacturer Michael Wright and Sons Ltd and a broad arrow War Department mark. The Bengal & North Western Railway Company was founded in 1882 and ran the railway of the same name, carrying mail, freight and passengers northward from Delhi as far as Peshawar, until the 1st January 1943, when it was taken over by the Indian Government and merged with four other regional railways to form the Oudh & Tirhut Railway. During WW2 many of its metal workshops were converted to producing war materiel, and continued to do so even after hostilities ended. Michael Wright and Sons, founded in 1860, was a major manufacturer of British webbing equipment in both World Wars and is still in business in Leicestershire today under the same family, still suppling the British Ministry of Defence. You may notice that the model stamp is incorrect “ this is certainly a MkIII due to its squared pommel, but the stamp shows &#acute;II*&#acute;. Incorrect factory stamping is a known phenomenon with Indian bayonets, as well as failing to add stamps for conversions, factory repairs etc. See British & Commonwealth Bayonets by Skennerton & Richardson, p348 and 351: they write that it is particularly common to see MkIIIs stamped as MkIIs. These bayonets were made to fit the many SMLE No. 1 rifles made at Ishapore. Over time Indian bayonets became progressively simplified: the MkIII differed from the MkII in having a squared pommel and straight grips (without the curve to the belly of the grip found on other 1907 Patterns). The blade, hilt and pommel retain their original blued finish. Some small dents and scratches to the wood grips. The locking button is fully functional. The scabbard leather is good with only small bumps and abrasions to its surface.

Due to the outbreak of WW1, manufacture of the new British P1914 Enfield rifle was contracted out to American manufacturers Remington and Winchester, including its matching 1913 Pattern bayonet. After the United States entered WW1 in 1917 the factories that had been producing for the British switched to supplying the same products to the US Army. In US service the P1914 Rifle became the &#acute;United States Rifle, Model of 1917&#acute; with accompanying &#acute;Model 1917&#acute; bayonet “ both direct copies, now with US markings. However, the distinctive pattern of frog that has been fitted shows that this bayonet did see use in British hands after all: it was issued to the British Home Guard during WW2, who were often armed with the M1917 or P1914 rifles, no longer standard issue but which still used current cartridges. The blade is bright with only a few spots of light patination. It retains its original blued band at the ricasso and has no edge damage. The last 5cm or so of the edge near the tip appears to have been sharpened. or significant wear. The hilt, exposed tang and pommel retain their original blued finish, with very little wear even on raised edges like the locking button. The wood grips have only a few small dents.

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..

German WW1 Mauser S84/98 a.A. Bayonet, 16th Reserve Infantry. Description Single-fullered spear-pointed knife blade, wood slab grips with cleaning hole, held by two screws. Scabbard of black leather, steel locket with frog hook and chape with oval finial. Blade 25.1cm in length, the bayonet 38.5cm overall. The blade is stamped at the ricasso with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;C. G. Haenel Suhl&#acute;, one of eight makers of the 71/84 pattern blade. The spine of the blade is stamped with a crown and &#acute;W88&#acute;, indicating that it was manufactured in 1888, a year in which three different kings ruled in Germany “ Wilhelm I, who died on the 9th of March, his son Frederick II, who died on the 15th June, and his son Wilhelm II. The &#acute;W&#acute; refers to one of the Wilhelms. The scabbard has some small crown inspection stamps to both locket and chape, and the bayonet has the same on the spine of the blade and on the pommel. The hilt is stamped with the unit mark &#acute;16.R.7.114&#acute; and the throat piece of the scabbard with &#acute;16.R.7.171&#acute;, indicating that the blade belonged with rifle number 114, 7th Company, 16th Reserve Infantry regiment, which formed part of the 14th Reserve Division. The scabbard has been swapped from another rifle within the same unit “ perhaps a replacement during service. The leather scabbards of this pattern were prone to wear and breakage in the field, and are not often a perfect match. The scabbard also has the cancelled unit mark &#acute;62.R.5.135&#acute;, meaning it was previously first issued with rifle number 135, 5th Company, 62nd Infantry regiment (3rd Upper Silesian). These bayonets were produced from 1909 from the large stocks of surplus 71/84 bayonets, converted to fit to the newer Mauser Karabiner 98 and Gewehr 98 rifles by remodelling the hilt and removing the muzzle ring. The reused blades come in two variations with a long or short fuller “ this example has the long fuller, extending almost to the tip of the blade. All Reserve Infantry Regiments were equipped with the 84/98 aA, as well as cyclists of infantry regiments, Jaeger and Schutzen battalions, and some Landwehr units depending on what rifle they had been issued with. Once blade stocks ran dry the more abundant second model of 84/98 (nA) was produced, with a very similar knife blade and redesigned hilt. The 84/98 was the shortest bayonet to see use in WW1, and the same overall design continued through to the 84/98 bayonets for the Kar 98k of WW2. The 14th Reserve Division was formed in August 1914 and fought exclusively on the Western Front, participating in the opening German offensive, the capture of Namur and Maubeuge, the Battle of Verdun from February to September 1916, the Second Battle of the Aisne in April and May 1917, and the Spring Offensive of 1918. The blade has spots of patination and cleaned pitting. Likewise pitting and patination to the hilt and scabbard parts. The wood grips have some small dents, along with staining on the locking button side only. The leather scabbard body has many small dents and slight opening of the seam near the chape piece, but all its stitching is intact. It has stiffened with age but the blade sheaths and draws freely.

The &#acute;ersatz&#acute; bayonets were simplified models produced near the beginning of WW1 to fit the Gewehr 88 rifle: production had to be ramped up rapidly to equip the expanding German army, and existing factories either could not cope with demand or preferred to manufacture rifles, leaving bayonets to be made in many cases by smaller firms or ones which did not previously produce weapons. These hastily crafted bayonets had a hard life: many were used to destruction or sold into Turkish service. There are many types to collect: in the nomenclature of Carter&#acute;s definitive book on the subject, this would be an EB9 type.

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.

Belgian M1953 FN F.A.L. Type A Bayonet. #2410024. This Belgian M1953 bayonet, aka the FN F.A.L. Type A was produced at the Fabrique Nationale (FN) factory for use with the Fusil Automatique Léger (F.A.L.) rifle, a version of which was used in the UK and known as the 7.62mm SLR (L1A1 rifle).

Argentine Type A Knife Bayonet for the FN FAL with Leather Frog, Falklands War. Description Spear-pointed knife blade with partial false edge. Blade length 7Â¾ inches, the bayonet 12Â¼ inches overall. Steel hilt with muzzle ring and integral flash-hider prongs, black plastic grip scales held by two screws, exposed tang, steel pommel. Steel scabbard with throat piece and oval frog stud, leather frog with retaining strap. The bayonet is stamped on the pommel with the serial number &#acute;38335&#acute;. The scabbard body is stamped with the serial number &#acute;10791&#acute;. The FN FAL infantry rifle and its bayonet were adopted by Argentina in the late 1950s, initially purchased from FN in Belgium but later made domestically by Argentine manufacturers. Several types of bayonet and webbing attachments were used by the Argentinean Army and Marines during the Falklands conflict: the knife model with distinctive flash-hider &#acute;prongs&#acute; on its muzzle ring was the &#acute;Type A&#acute; bayonet, which fitted to the early FALs. Its blade was based upon the US M4. This was used side by side with the tubular &#acute;Type C&#acute; model, which was introduced when a 22mm muzzle device was added to the FAL in 1962. The scabbards are not interchangeable between Types, the blades being of different shapes. Belt frogs for these bayonets are made of either leather or nylon fabric: the &#acute;Correaje Argentino de Cuero&#acute; (Argentine Leather Belting) load-bearing system made of green-dyed leather was introduced around 1970, but incorporated some preexisting elements including leather frogs and pistol holsters, which were then painted green to match. The nylon &#acute;Correaje Tempex&#acute; (Tempex Belting) was introduced in the early 1980s to replace it which included a new frog. Both load-bearing systems were still in use by 1982 so both were carried in the Falklands. Either frog fits either Type of bayonet. The leather frogs follow a Mauser design, but as you can see on this example the seam on the left side is tucked under before being stitched, giving it an asymmetrical shape. This creates room for the &#acute;prongs&#acute; of the bayonet&#acute;s flash hider to slide over the leather without catching on it, a modification made on later examples specifically for the FAL bayonet. After Argentine forces surrendered to the British on June 14 1982 their small arms were piled up by the thousand in the Islands&#acute; capital Port Stanley, where most Argentine forces had been deployed or driven back to. A large quantity of arms had also been captured earlier at Goose Green, which was a key ammunition dump for the Argentine forces, and still more were gathered later from unengaged Argentine garrisons on the island of West Falkland. The FAL rifles became British government property and were either brought to the UK or dumped at sea, while bayonets and the short machete-like officer&#acute;s sidearms frequently became personal trophies or souvenirs for British soldiers as they would not be illegal to own in civilian life. This example is most likely one such &#acute;bring-back&#acute;. The blade is sharp, with visible sharpening marks, a few small nicks to its edge. The tip has a little wear and resharpening. Some very light speckled pitting in places, mainly towards the tip. The hilt and pommel have a quite even grey patina. The plastic grips have a couple of dents and some light abrasion. The scabbard has mostly lost its black paint except where it is covered by the frog “ the exposed steel section has spotted heavy patination and a few scratches. The frog retains its green colour and its stitching is intact except for one frayed stitch at the top of the scabbard loop on one side (the untucked seam). The frog has been informally modified with a slot cut from the top edge down to the hole for the frog stud “ this allows the scabbard to slide upwards for easy removal. So long as the retaining strap was secured the bayonet would not have fallen out of the frog despite the modification, although it would have made it trickier to draw the bayonet without pulling the scabbard with it. Holes have been punched on either side of the notch suggesting that stitching may have been intended there, but no thread is present. Some rubbing and dents to the frog&#acute;s leather on the front side.

Argentine Type C Socket Bayonet for the FN FAL with Tempex Frog, Falklands War. Description Tubular steel one-piece bayonet with flash ports and spear-pointed blade with semicircular profile.

Black plastic scabbard with eyelet chape, circular frog stud and steel throat piece, green nylon frog with retaining strap, plastic belt grip and wire hanger. The bayonet is faintly stamped on the blade with the serial number &#acute;01-69155&#acute;. The scabbard is unmarked. The FN FAL infantry rifle and its bayonet were adopted by Argentina in the late 1950s, initially purchased from FN in Belgium but later made domestically by Argentine manufacturers.

The locking catch of the bayonet and the frog stud & throat piece of the scabbard have some wear to their black lacquer. Minor rubbing and scratching to the plastic scabbard body and belt grip. Light rust to some of the scabbard rivets and wire hanger.

Indian 1907 Pattern Mk III Bayonet, by Ishapore. Description Plain unfullered knife blade with clipped point and 2-inch false edge. Wood grips secured by two screws, squared pommel with oil hole. Black leather scabbard with iron throat and chape, khaki canvas frog. 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;MkII&#acute;, the bayonet model, &#acute;10 43&#acute;, meaning the bayonet was manufactured in October 1943, and &#acute;R.F.I&#acute;, meaning the manufacturer, the Rifle Factory Ishapore. It is stamped on the other side with Indian inspection marks. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;97&#acute;. The scabbard leather is faintly stamped &#acute;43&#acute;, indicating that it was manufactured at around the same time. The reverse of the canvas frog has been written on with &#acute;HEGGIE&#acute;. You may notice that the model stamp is incorrect “ this is certainly a MkIII due to its squared pommel, 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 351: they write that it is particularly common to see MkIIIs stamped as MkIIs. The scabbard is noticeably longer than it needs to be for the bayonet “ it is a full-length No.1 model. These bayonets were made to fit the many SMLE No. 1 rifles made at Ishapore. Over time Indian bayonets became progressively simplified: the MkIII differed from the MkII in having a squared pommel and straight grips (without the curve to the belly of the grip found on other 1907 Patterns). The blade has some grinding marks from manufacture, and one small area of cleaned pitting toward the tip on one side. Small areas of patination to the hilt, hilt and pommel largely retain their original finish. Some small dents to the wood grips. The locking button is fully functional. The scabbard leather is good with only small bumps and abrasions to its surface. Some storage grease may remain in the scabbard.
