Formed in 1957, it was modelled on the British SAS sharing the motto, "Who Dares Wins". The regiment is based at Campbell Barracks, in Swanbourne, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, and is a direct command unit of the Special Operations Command. It has taken part in operations in Borneo, Vietnam, Somalia, East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as many other peacekeeping missions. The SASR also provides a counter-terrorist capability, and has been involved in a number of domestic security operations. An inquiry that was completed in 2020 found that some members of the regiment had committed war crimes in Afghanistan. The regiment is currently believed to be organised as follows:1 Squadron, 2 Squadron - announced in November 2020 to be disbanded, 3 Squadron, 4 Squadron, Specialist Support Squadron, Operational Support Squadron, 152 Signal Squadron. This is an Australian L1A2 bayonet to the Australian SASR 3 SABRE SQUADRON and scabbard. This is the Australian military version of the British L1A1 bayonet (see pages 291 & 292 item A32 in Skennerton's book British & Commonwealth Bayonets). It is completely parkerised and the edge of the grip scales are marked ‘SASR 3 SABRE SQN’. The grips are steel and are secured with two recessed steel rivets. The blade has a long fullers and drop point. The blade measures 7 ¾” length and is 11 ½” overall. The No.5 MK 2 steel scabbard has the correct brass mouth piece.

British 1888 Mark II, 2nd pattern, Lee Metford Bayonet, Scabbard And Frog. BAYO 230. - BAYO 230 This is an early Edwardian, Lee Metford, 1888 Mark II second pattern bayonet manufactured for the British .303 calibre Enfield, Lee Metford Rifle. The Bayonet blade which is in good clean condition with original polish, is 12" in length, double edged and unfullered with a medial ridge running from the ricasso to the blade tip. The ricasso of the blade is also marked 8. 02 (manufactured August 1902) together with ER and 'Flat Top' Crown ( Edward Rex ). The reverse is nicely stamped with the broad arrow over EFD (Enfield) and an inspection stamp. The pommel carries the stamping NR.86 over 350. This translates into the Territorial Force County Association National Reserve (NR) for Warwick (86) and the bayonet number (350) The grips are of wood, held together with two brass rivets and are stamped B over TW within a circle. There is an oil clearance hole in both of the grips. The bayonet is contained in a 1903 pattern scabbard with the internal steel chape bit missing the leather frog. The scabbard is stamped to the rear with UNVTC 91. This is an unusual combination of markings which are worthy of further research to this scarce bayonet to the National Reserve.

Brazilian 1908/34 Bayonet and Scabbard. BAYO 602. - BAYO 602 This is a nice example of a ‘1908/34’ Brazilian bayonet. These bayonets were made to fit the ’30-06 Calibre short rifle (The Mosquetão Itajubá M1934 was a 08/34 short rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield adopted by Brazil in 1934). Although the rifles were made in Brazil the bayonets were made in Czechoslovakia. These bayonets were similar to the ‘1908’ pattern but had a longer blade to make up for the shorter length of the ‘M1934’ rifle. The scabbard is also similar to the ‘1908’ pattern with a leather body but with heavily blued steel mounts instead of the brass mounts on the ‘M1908’. The blade is in very good condition with staining conducive with its age. The wooden grips, leather and metalwork on the scabbard are in good order with minor scuffs. See ‘An illustrated history of bayonets’ pages 38 & 39. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 602. (Box 2) £325.00 |
