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.

US Navy WW2 Mk.1 Training Bayonet. Description &#acute;Blade&#acute; of hard black Bakelite plastic over steel core, black plastic hilt, ribbed black plastic grips over steel core with scabbard/rifle locking button. Green plastic scabbard with steel throat piece and wire webbing attachment. Stamped on the exposed metal of the ricasso on the left side Is &#acute;U.S.N. MARK 1&#acute;, and on the other with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;PBC&#acute; (Parris-Dunn Corporation) and &#acute;NXSO-29524&#acute;. Throat of the scabbard is also stamped with &#acute;USN MK 1&#acute; These bayonets were designed for use with the U.S. Navy Mark 1 Dummy Training Rifle, which was produced during the Second World War by the Parris-Dunn Corporation of Clarinda, Iowa to replicate the US Model 1903 Springfield rifle which was carried on many US Navy vessels. 300,000 were manufactured for the Navy in 1942 and 43, then sold off as surplus in 1945. The brittle Bakelite used on these bayonets did not mix well with the rigours of rifle training, and examples with no damage at all are very rare. About two-thirds of the muzzle ring and most of the lower bar of the hilt have been lost. Dark patina to most of the steel components. Some minor scraping to the chape of the scabbard and sides of the grip scales. Blade is very good and undamaged.

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.

British 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. Brown leather frog of South African type, possibly a later addition. The ricasso is stamped on one side with &#acute;1907&#acute; (the pattern), 6 &#acute;15, indicating the manufacture date of June 1915, reissue date stamps for &#acute;21, &#acute;22, &#acute;23, &#acute;27 and &#acute;35, several inspection stamps including one with &#acute;E&#acute; for Enfield, and the manufacturer&#acute;s mark &#acute;Sanderson&#acute; (very faint). 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. One of the wood grip scales is stamped with another crown inspection stamp with &#acute;E&#acute;. The leather section of the scabbard is stamped next to the seam with &#acute;38&#acute;, possibly a manufacture date. The blade has a matt grey parkerised finish and a blued band at the ricasso “ it may have been refurbished and/or refinished at some point. This finish is very good with only a few spots of bright steel where it rubs against the scabbard on sheathing & drawing. No edge damage. 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 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. 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 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.

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.
