British / South African Lee Enfield 1907 Pattern Bayonet by Sanderson, 1918. 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. Black leather scabbard with steel locket & circular &#acute;bullseye&#acute; frog stud and steel chape piece. Brown leather frog of South African type. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown over &#acute;1907&#acute; (the pattern) &#acute;12 &#acute;18&#acute;, indicating the manufacture date of December 1918, and the manufacturer&#acute;s mark &#acute;Sanderson&#acute;. On the other side it is stamped with a &#acute;broad arrow&#acute; War Department stores mark, three crown inspection stamps with &#acute;E&#acute; for Enfield and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating that it passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The pommel is stamped next to the locking button with a letter &#acute;U&#acute; enclosing a broad arrow, which is a South African government ownership mark. While it was manufactured in Britain, this bayonet evidently came into South African ownership. The chape piece of the scabbard is stamped next to the staple with &#acute;EB&#acute; within a circle, which is probably a manufacturer mark. The blade has some spots of patination and nicks to its edge. The ricasso, hilt and pommel have some light patination and polishing marks. The wood grips have some dents and chips. The scabbard fittings have a matt blued finish, with only light wear to raised edges revealing bright steel. The scabbard leather has surface rubbing, one dent near the throat piece, a spot of damage to the seam and slight opening of the stitching near the chape piece.

The hilt and pommel also have a blued finish, with significant wear to this on the hilt and on raised edges of the pommel like the locking button, exposing bright steel. The wood grips have some dents and a chip on one side next to the pommel. The scabbard fittings have been blued and then painted dark green, with most of this remaining except a little wear to edges and prominences like the chape end and frog button. The scabbard leather has light rubbing and a few tiny dents. Its stitching is all intact.

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.

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.

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. Blade length 6Â½ inches (16.5cm), 11 3/8 inches (28.9cm) overall. 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. Several types of bayonet and webbing attachments were used by the Argentinean Army and Marines during the Falklands conflict: the tubular model was the &#acute;Type C&#acute;, compatible with later models of the FAL (post 1962) which had a 22mm muzzle device. This was used side by side with the &#acute;Type A&#acute; knife bayonet, which fitted to the early FALs. 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; (Green Leather Belting) load-bearing system 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 forms of load-bearing system were still in use by 1982 so both were carried in the Falklands. Either frog will fit either Type of 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.

This example is most likely one such &#acute;bring-back&#acute;. The bayonet retains most of its original blued finish, with some wear and cleaned rust spotting. 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.

Taiwan M1 Garand Rifle Bayonet. Circa 1950. #2410021. After its split with China in 1949, American firearms became the staple of the Taiwanese infantry, particularly the M1 Garand rifle and M1 carbine. This bayonet is a 1950s Taiwanese variant of the WW2 American M1 Garand rifle bayonet. It is identical to the American model except for the ricasso markings.The 250mm single-edged blade has a deep single fuller and a flat spine that terminates in a double-edged spear point. The blade is in excellent condition and retains its original black finish.The ricasso is stamped with the Taiwanese manufacture roundel and 60-6 KS.The blackened crosspiece and pommel are in good condition, retaining their original finish, and the press stud mechanism is in good working order. The black plastic grips are in good condition and are secured firmly.The bayonet is complete with its American M1 scabbard. The scabbard is of WW2 vintage and was probably suppled along with an M1 rifle and bayonet, that was subsequently replaced with a newly made model. The US markings have been removed from the scabbard locket, probably by the Americans prior to export to Taiwan, as the provision of arms to the newly estranged island was initially quite clandestine.This is a good example of a historically significant Taiwanese Mi Garand rifle bayonet, produced in the early years of Taiwan’s independence from China.

US M1832 Foot Artillery Sword by Ames. Description Leaf-shaped spear pointed blade with two short, narrow fullers and single long fuller, solid cast brass hilt, brass grip with fishscale texture and three steel rivets, oval brass pommel. No scabbard. Blade 18 7/8 inches (47.9cm) in length, the sword 24 7/8 inches (63.4cm) overall. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with the manufacturer&#acute;s mark of an eagle and &#acute;N.P. AMES CABOTVILLE&#acute; indicating the Ames Sword Company which was based at Cabotville, Massachusetts between 1837 and 1848. The ricasso on the other side is stamped with &#acute;NWP&#acute;, the inspector&#acute;s mark of Nahum W. Patch, a civilian inspector of contract arms from 1831 to 1849. This mark is repeated on one side of the hilt while the other side is stamped with &#acute;W.A.T.&#acute;, the inspector&#acute;s mark of William Anderson Thornton, US Armory Inspector from 1840-1866. Putting these marks together this sword must date from 1840-48. The pommel is cast on both sides with a bald eagle, a shield upon its chest, holding a palm frond and arrows, which is derived from the Great Seal of the United States. Sidearms with the form of a neoclassical &#acute;gladius&#acute; appear to have originated with Napoleon&#acute;s love for all things Roman, and the French 1771 &#acute;Eagle Head&#acute; Artillery sword. A series of very similar-looking short swords were subsequently designed, including the French 1816 & 1831 Artillery, the US Model 1832 Foot Artillery, the Swiss 1842 Pioneer&#acute;s, the Russian 1848 Pioneer&#acute;s and the British 1855 Land Transport. Being short and heavy they were not particularly useful for combat, so remained either ceremonial items or in the role of a machete for various field tasks such as clearing brush. The blade has significant pitting overall but is still robust. There are no nicks or chips to the blade&#acute;s edge but it has been impacted by the pitting. The tip is worn. The brass hilt has an aged patina and some small dents. The steel rivets have a black patina.

British / South African Lee Enfield 1907 Pattern Bayonet by Sanderson, 1915. Description Straight single-fullered knife blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring, wood slab grips secured by two screws, steel beaked pommel with locking button. Black leather scabbard with steel locket & circular frog stud and steel chape piece. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown and &#acute;G.R.&#acute; (Georgius Rex, i.e. King George V) over &#acute;1907&#acute; (the pattern) &#acute;12 &#acute;15&#acute;, indicating the manufacture date of December 1915, and the manufacturer&#acute;s mark &#acute;Sanderson&#acute;. On the other side it is stamped with a &#acute;broad arrow&#acute; War Department stores mark, three crown inspection stamps with &#acute;E&#acute; for Enfield and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating that it passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The pommel is stamped with two identical marks of a letter &#acute;U&#acute; enclosing a broad arrow, which is a South African government ownership mark. The exposed tang is stamped with &#acute;355&#acute;. The leather section of the scabbard is stamped next to the seam with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;MANGROVITE I48&#acute;, indicating it was manufactured by Mangrovite Belting Ltd. in Australia in 1948, as well as a broad arrow over &#acute;B&#acute; and finally the letter &#acute;W&#acute;, denoting a scabbard made with a waxed finish. The chape of the scabbard is stamped next to the staple with &#acute;MA&#acute;. Manufactured in Britain, this bayonet evidently came into South African ownership and was then subsequently paired with an Australian-made scabbard, perhaps when its old one wore out. The fact that both the bayonet and scabbard have traces of the same khaki paint suggests they are not a more recent pairing. The blade has one small nick near the tip, some old polishing marks and a few small spots of patination. The ricasso, hilt and pommel have a blued finish, with significant wear at raised edges like the locking button and muzzle ring, exposing bright steel. The wood grips have dents and on one side chipping around the rear screw & next to the pommel. The scabbard fittings also have a blued finish, with only a little wear to edges and prominences like the chape end and frog button. The scabbard leather has light rubbing, a few dents and scratches. Its stitching is all intact. As mentioned above there are flecks of khaki paint remaining on all parts except the blade and scabbard leather, suggesting it was at one time painted appropriately for a desert environment (a larger deposit can be seen in the recess under the frog stud).

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;9 43&#acute;, meaning the bayonet was manufactured in September 1943, and &#acute;R.F.I&#acute;, meaning the manufacturer, the Rifle Factory Ishapore. It is stamped on the other side with three Indian inspection marks. The scabbard leather is stamped next to the seam with &#acute;W&#acute; indicating that the leather was impregnated with wax as part of the manufacture process, and &#acute;ca1942&#acute; indicating that it was manufactured by the Government Harness and Saddlery Factory at Cawnpore in 1942. The throat piece of the scabbard is stamped next to the staple with &#acute;C^320&#acute;, with ^ being a broad arrow War Department mark. The chape piece of the scabbard is stamped next to the staple with &#acute;E.E. 41&#acute;, indicating it was manufactured in 1941 by a different contractor. 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.

Over time Indian bayonets became progressively simplified from the original 1907 Pattern design: 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 is clean and bright with an even finish and no edge damage. It has been blued at the ricasso and on the hilt, tang and pommel “ the pommel shows some wear to its blueing with some patches of light pitting. A few dents to the wood grips. The locking button is fully functional. The scabbard leather is good with only a few very small dents to its surface. The chape piece of the scabbard has some patination. The throat piece of the scabbard has extensive pitting leaving a rough surface, and has rusted through at one spot on its reverse side creating a small hole. This is hidden with the frog in place.
