*WWI British ‘P13’ Mk1 Sword, Bayonet and Scabbard. BAYO 742. - BAYO 742 This is a great example of the ‘P13’ bayonet, which although designated ‘P13’, fit the ‘P14’ rifle and was not introduced until ‘1916’. It is marked to the blade with ‘1913’ over ‘5 17’ (May 1917) and ‘Remington’ in a circle. The other side of the blade carries British inspection stamps. The vast majority of these bayonets were made in America by ‘Remington and Winchester’ with only a few made in England by ‘Vickers’. The wooden grips have two grooves on either side to distinguish it from the ‘P1907’. The scabbard is a British ‘No1 MKII’ with a round frog stud, and the frog is a ‘1939’ leather version stamped to the rear with ‘Lees (W) Ltd 1940 F8;’ probably re-issued to the Homeguard in ‘WWII’. A very nice collectable ‘1913’ bayonet. See ‘Skennerton’ item B239, pages 192-194. The price includes U.K. delivery. BAYO 742. £225.00
