Australian Lee Enfield 1907 Pattern Bayonet by Lithgow. 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 No. 1 Mk 2 scabbard with steel locket & teardrop frog stud and steel chape piece. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a shield containing &#acute;1907&#acute; and &#acute;I&#acute;, surmounted by a seven-pointed star containing the letter &#acute;A&#acute;, which is an early Lithgow manufacture mark incorporating the pattern, as well as &#acute;1917&#acute; (the manufacture date), and the manufacturer&#acute;s mark &#acute;Lithgow&#acute;. On the other side it is stamped with a shield containing the letter &#acute;L&#acute;, another Lithgow manufacture mark, two Lithgow proof marks (seven-pointed stars containing the letter &#acute;A&#acute;) and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating that it passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The hilt is stamped with &#acute;4MD&#acute; indicating issue to the 4th Military District (South Australia) and the serial number &#acute;15383&#acute;. The pommel is stamped with the serial number &#acute;71925&#acute;. The chape piece of the scabbard is stamped next to the staple with &#acute;RE&#acute; within a circle, indicating that it was manufactured by Remington. The blade has an even dark parkerised finish with some wear at the tip and along the spine, exposing bright steel beneath. 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). Some small dents to the chape piece. The scabbard leather has some rubbing and scuffing, its stitching is all intact.

British L1A3 Bayonet, Converted L1A1, Dated 1957 by Enfield. Description Straight single fullered blade with clipped Bowie point. Black finished steel hilt, black painted sheet steel slab grips secured by two rivets around concealed tang. Steel pommel with locking button, black finished steel scabbard with circular frog stud, frog of white woven plastic. The blade is stamped at the ricasso on one side with a broad arrow War Office ownership stamp and &#acute;57D&#acute;, the &#acute;D&#acute; having a horizontal stroke extending from the vertical. The &#acute;D&#acute; with a stroke extending from the vertical is a mark of the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, while 57 is the date of manufacture. The grip slabs are each stamped with another &#acute;D&#acute; with a stroke Enfield stamp and another broad arrow. The pommel is stamped on its base with the model &#acute;L1A3&#acute;, as well as with &#acute;0&#acute; and &#acute;257&#acute;, the latter probably a serial or weapon number. The L1A1 bayonet for the SLR rifle was sealed as a pattern in 1957, and the L1A3 bayonet in 1958. Most of the newly made L1A1s were converted to L1A3s (which only involved milling a recess into the pommel allowing the press stud to be replaced) and later more L1A3s were newly manufactured. Being dated 1957 this example is most likely one such conversion of an L1A1. Its markings also show signs of conversion: the grips of either an L1A1 or L1A3 would normally be stamped with their model and NATO item number, but these would be incorrect after conversion and I think they have been deliberately removed on this example by grinding, and only new Enfield &#acute;D&#acute; stamps were applied before the grips were refinished. The new model mark &#acute;L1A3&#acute; was then applied by manual stamping on the pommel rather than trying to replace the factory stamping on the grips. The blade retains its black parkerised finish with only tiny bright spots of wear on raised edges. Some dimpled forging imperfections to the blade which have been parkerised over. Likewise some spots of wear to the finish on raised edges of the hilt, grips and pommel, a couple of very small chips to the scabbard with light rubbing at its chape end.

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.

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.
