Australian Owen Submachine Gun Bayonet. Lithgow 1952. #2509008. The Australian Owen Mk1 submachine gun bayonet is essentially a shortened No.1 (1907 pattern) bayonet and was agreed in August 1944 and notified in General Orders in February, 1945. Production began in February 1945. By mid-April 1945, only 19,000 Mk1 and Mk1/1 bayonets had been produced.The Mk1 had a newly made blade. The Mk1/1 (originally designated Mk2) has a shortened 1907 pattern (No.1 bayonet) blade. Wartime production of the Owen bayonet was at the Orange factory. Post war production was at Lithgow, commencing in 1952.This Mk1 Owen SMG bayonet is an early Lithgow production example made in 1952.The newly made 256mm blade has a rounded spine above a deep single fuller. The blade is in excellent, near mint condition, retaining its original black finish and factory edge.The ricasso is stamped with an arrow mark, a Lithgow factory inspection mark and the production date ‘52. The obverse ricasso is stamped with a partial bend test mark and a very faint 53.The cross piece and pommel retain their original finish and the locking mechanism is crisp. The hardwood grip scales are in very good condition and are stamped SLAZ 51.The bayonet is complete with its brown leather scabbard with blackened locket and chape. The Owen Mk 1 scabbards were made by shortening 1907 pattern bayonet scabbards. The locket and chape retain their original finish and are stamped with the OA mark of the Orange factory. The leather is strong and the stitching intact. The leather is stamped MANGROVITE 44 opposite a letter B and broad arrow. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.This is an excellent example of a scarce early Lithgow production Owen submachine gun bayonet.

British Lee Enfield 1907 Pattern Bayonet, Royal Scots Fusiliers. 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 No. 1 Mk 2 scabbard with steel locket & teardrop frog stud and steel chape piece. Khaki canvas frog with retaining loop. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown over &#acute;GR&#acute;, 1907 (the pattern) &#acute;11 &#acute;18&#acute;, indicating the manufacture date of November 1918, the manufacturer&#acute;s mark &#acute;SANDERSON&#acute;, a crown inspection stamp and a reissue stamp dated &#acute;21. On the other side it is stamped with a &#acute;broad arrow&#acute; War Department stores mark, three crown inspection marks with &#acute;E&#acute; indicating the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating that it passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;R S F&#acute;, indicating issue to the Royal Scots Fusiliers, above &#acute;R534&#acute;, probably a rack number. The throat and chape pieces of the scabbard are both stamped with &#acute;RE&#acute; within a circle, indicating the manufacturer Remington. The leather of the scabbard is stamped next to the seam with another crown inspection mark and the manufacture date &#acute;17, these marks being faint from rubbing. The rear of the frog is inked with a faint maker&#acute;s mark, the manufacture date &#acute;1939&#acute; and a broad arrow. Given the manufacture date I would not class this bayonet as WW1 issue, but from its reissue stamps it clearly did see some service with the Royal Scots Fusiliers in the interwar period. The regular battalions of that regiment continued to be deployed overseas during this period: the 1st Battalion spending time in Ireland, Palestine and India while the 2nd Battalion was deployed to the Black Sea region as part of the wider Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War that lasted from 1917-22, then to India and China. The blade is bright with a few spots of light patination, some grinding marks and small nicks to its edge near the tip. The wood grips have only a few light dents and remain quite glossy with little handling wear. The hilt, pommel and scabbard fittings are bright with a few spots of light patination. The leather body of the scabbard has some surface abrasions, shallow dents and thin shallow cuts. One crack to the lower section near the chape piece, running from one edge of the seam to the near side edge, then branching to run down that edge for about 2cm. This has had the effect of slightly kinking the chape end to one side. This does not prevent sheathing and drawing and the scabbard remains solid, though one should take care when the blade is withdrawn. The scabbard&#acute;s stitching remains intact.

German Ersatz Bayonet. EB5. WW1. 1916. #2505009. This all-steel ersatz bayonet was made in Germany in the early years of WW1. The height of ersatz bayonet manufacturing was 1916, as the Imperial German war machine rushed to equip the huge number of new troops. This pattern of ersatz bayonet has been designated under Carter’s classification as EB5.The 316mm single-edged blade has a flat spine and terminates in a double-edged spear point. The unfullered blade is in near mint condition and retains its full length. Many ersatz bayonets had their blades shortened, making original length examples harder to find. The spine and ricasso both bear inspection stamps.The cast steel hilt is in excellent condition. The long muzzle ears and two-piece cross guard are characteristic of the EB5. The press-stud attachment mechanism is in perfect working order. The blade is held firmly within the steel grip.The bayonet is complete with its original ersatz scabbard which retains much of its original paint. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.This is a highly desirable Great War ersatz bayonet in excellent condition and guaranteed genuine.

French M1886/1915 WW1 Lebel Bayonet. Matching Scabbard. #2502017. This is a great example of the famous French M1886 bayonet, made circa 1915 for use during WW1 with the 8mm Lebel rifle. The Lebel bayonet was the first to use a cruciform (epee-like) blade and had a long service history. The Lebel bayonet was affectionately known as “Rosalie” by the troops who carried it.The M1886 was originally made with a nickel-silver alloy grip but this was phased out in 1914 as nickel was in short supply and required for the war effort. After 1914 the grips were made of brass and the bayonet was manufactured without the hooked quillon. The Lebel epee bayonet with its distinctive cruciform blade was the French mainstay during WWI and was produced by numerous private contractors, many of which were not previously associated with the production of weaponry.The 520mm distinctive cruciform blade has a rounded needle point. The blade is in excellent condition and is stamped at the base with the manufacturer’s initials, C. F. This maker remains unknown today. There are no inspection stamps on the blade.The steel muzzle ring and block are in excellent condition and bear the serial number 76418, prefixed by a calligraphised letter K. The raised press-stud with knurled top is in excellent working order. The cast brass grip is in excellent condition.The bayonet is complete with its matching numbered steel scabbard. The scabbard is in good condition. The scabbard retains its black finish and bears the matching serial number, K76418. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held loosely within the scabbard due to the flattening of one of the internal leaf springs.The bayonet is complete with its French M1874 brown leather frog. These frogs were used first with the M1874 Gras bayonet and then with the M1886 Lebel.This is a great matching numbered example of the iconic French Lebel bayonet, complete with frog.
