English Helmet-head Plug Bayonet, Last Quarter 17th C. As far as is known, the plug bayonet was solely used for the military in England and first appeared around 1660, however, not gaining widespread acceptance until the reign of James II (1685-1688). It had a relatively short working life in England, being obsolete and replaced by the socket bayonet by about 1715. This example features straight cast brass guard with the finials in the shape of a helmeted head. Brass pommel decorated ensuite, with base ferrule capping the tapering turned walnut grip; brass ferrule at the base. The helmet head series of English plug bayonets were made during the reign of James II and William & Mary, and followed the Classical fashion of that period. Tapering straight 11 1/4″ single-edged blade, the last 5″ double-edged, stamped on one side with a side-facing King's Head mark (KH18 in R.D.C. Evans' “The Plug Bayonet”). While the King's Head was a mark used by Solingen makers Weyersberg and Wundes, this mark is clearly different, as all the German Kings Head marks are left facing profiles, whereas this one is right facing. Associated brown leather scabbard stamped “B. WAY” on one side, the other with old ink inscription reading “A/Present/from/George Hines(?)/about/1656″. This date predates the bayonet by about 30 years, so it is either in error, or does not refer to this bayonet. Bayonet about 3/8″ short of fitting all the way into the scabbard, possibly due to leather shrinkage. Overall length 17 1/4″, not including scabbard. Similar examples illustrated in “The Plug Bayonet” by R.D.C. Evans.

It was patterned after a model then in use by the French Army and meant for company officers through the rank of captain. Officers of the rank of major and above wore the M1850 Staff & Field Officer´s Sword; the only difference between them being that the staff & field sword featured a pierced &156;US&157; in the guard. The rank distinction for the two swords, however, was rarely enforced. Christopher Roby scythe mill established 1853 made swords from 1861 making a total of 32,000 Cavalry Troopers swords in the Civil War, factory closed in 1875. See Man at Arms Jan/Feb 1980.
