British, Scarce, 1943 Dated, Lanchester S.M.G. Bayonet and Scabbard. BAYO 445. - BAYO 445
This is a Pattern 1907 pattern bayonet manufactured by Wilkinson Sword Company during WWII for use with the Lanchester submachine gun manufactured by the Sterling Armaments Company between 1941 and 1945. The Lanchaster is a copy of the German MP28/II gun and was manufactured in two versions, Mk.1 and Mk.1*; the latter was a simplified version of the original Mk.1, with no fire selector and simplified sights. The gun was mainly used by the Royal Navy during the Second World War, and to a lesser extent by the Royal Air Force Regiment (for airfield protection). The gun was named after George Herbert Lanchester who was charged with producing the weapon at the Sterling Armaments Company. The bayonet is recognisable by the markings to the blade of Crown over G.R. 1907 S294 (Wilkinson Wartime Code) W.S.C. (Wilkinson Sword Company) and 11 43 (November 1943). The other side of the blade bears a crowned Enfield inspection mark. These bayonets were mainly used by the Royal Navy but also used in small numbers by the other services. The scabbards leather, stitching and metalwork are all in very good condition. The metalwork retains most of the white painted finish from Royal Navy issue. See ‘British and Commonwealth Bayonets by Ian D. Skennerton, item B281 pages 230-231. This is a scarce bayonet particularly with R.A.F. regiment markings. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 445.

*Scarce* 1855 Sword Bayonet for the Royal Sappers & Miners Carbine Marked A.H.C. (Army Hospital Corps). BAYO 371. - BAYO 371
British Sappers and Miners Units adopted an oval barrel rifle in 1855 and produced their own distinctive bayonet with a Falchion or pipe backed blade. The leather scabbard had brass fittings. After 1857 the Sappers and Miners were renamed the Engineers so the blade is sometimes called the Engineers Bayonet. After removal from Engineer service they became a side arm particularly for the Medical Corps. Early examples had a leaf spring secured by a rivet but post 1858 the springs on these bayonets were secured by a screw. The British Government ordered quantities of these bayonets from German manufacturers & both the London and Birmingham trade (see pages 367 & 368 No 748 of Watts & White ‘The Bayonet Book’ for similar). This is an excellent original example of the 1855 Lancaster bayonet which has the correct 24”pipeback blade whit just light staining consistent with age, brass cross guard with muzzle ring and brass pommel with correct flat steel spring bar with post 1858 retaining screw and push button which works as it should. The blade is marked; A.H.C. (Army Hospital Corps- the Army Hospital Corps was raised by Royal Warrant on 1 August 1857 to provide orderlies for military hospitals, except those in India. It was the successor of the Medical Staff Corps which had been embodied in June 1855, but disbanded because of irregularities in its recruitment.) with numbers to the pommel. The ricasso is marked; with a number of inspection stamps, as is the grip spine. Its original black hard leather grips are undamaged *slight wear to the left hand side and correctly secured by rivets. The bayonet measures 29” overall. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 371.
