British ‘L1A3’ Bayonet Scabbard and Frog for the L1A1 SLR. BAYO 782. - BAYO 782
This is a British L1A3 bayonet for the L1A1 SLR (Self-loading rifle), scabbard and frog (see Skennerton’s book, British & Commonwealth Bayonets Book, pages 261 – B322). When the Self Loading Rifle (SLR) was introduced the British Army naturally introduced a bayonet to go with their new rifle. They seem to have been very happy with the clipped bowie shaped blade they had used with the No5 Bayonet, No 7 Bayonet and the No 9 Bayonet and mated this to a new crosspiece and pommel to fit the SLR. The bayonet was first adopted on the 31st December 1958. On this example the blade ricasso carries the number ‘F73’. It has the early waisted crossguard. The brass throated No5 MkI scabbard retains all of its black paint and has no major marks. This is contained in its immaculate green nylon webbing frog. A nice addition to any collection. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 782. (Box 2)

**Rare Retaining Tab** WWII British Lee Enfield No 4 MK 1 Cruciform Spike Bayonet By ‘SM’ (Singer Manufacturing Co) with MK 1 Scabbard Webbing Frog & Rare Leather Retaining Tab with Brass Eyelet. BAYO 781. - BAYO 781
The No. 4 Bayonet was created to replace the current bayonet at the time in service which was the World War I vintage Pattern 1907 bayonet. It was the result of the British search for a new bayonet to replace the Pattern 1907 which began just after World War I which came to the conclusion around the beginning of World War II that the best replacement for the pattern 1907 bayonet would be a Spike type bayonet. This was then implemented which lead to the No. 4 becoming a Spike type bayonet. The design of the No. 4 Bayonet is said to have been taken from Swiss socket bayonets. The No 4 bayonet was accepted into service alongside the No 4 rifle. During the course of World War II the design of the No 4 bayonet changed over time. In excellent condition. The socket is stamped No. 4 MK.1 and by the manufacturer 'SM' (the Singer Manufacturing Co). Its 8” cruciform blade is undamaged and its ribbed locking catch works as it should. The throat of the scabbard is stamped ‘No4 MK 1’. The scabbard is fitted with an excellent original webbing frog including rare leather retaining tab with brass eyelet. The rear of the frog is stamped with ink markings which appear to be stores numbers. See page 398 No 832 of Watts & White for reference. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 781. (Box 2)

British, WW1 Era, General Service Buff Leather Bayonet Frog For The P 1907 Bayonet. - L 265
This is a buff leather bayonet frog adapted to take the P 1907 bayonet and was introduced in 1914 as a simpler way of altering General Service buff leather bayonet frogs to accept the P 1907 bayonet. The frogs were not altered but a leather piece was inserted and secured with 2 rivets. This modification caused the P 1907 bayonets to move further away and clear the leather frog.

British WWI Improvised Trench Knuckle Duster/Fighting Knife Made from the ‘07’ Pattern Bayonet & Scabbard. 20012:2. - 20012:2
With the exception of the German Nahkampfmesser or (close combat knife), most early trench knives were fabricated by hand by individual soldiers or blacksmiths for the purpose of silently killing sentries and other soldiers during trench raids. These early "trench knives" were often shortened and sharpened Army-issue bayonets. One type of stabbing weapon, the French Nail, was made by cutting and pointing the steel stakes used to support the barbed wire protecting trenches. Some historians say that some trench knives models were inspired by the Bowie knife. Soon afterwards, these fabricated trench knives were used in defensive close-quarters trench warfare, and such fighting soon revealed limitations in existing designs. This unique example has been fashioned from the ‘07’ pattern bayonet. The push button release has been removed and now holds the top of the ‘knuckle duster’ hand guard. The single edged fullered blade now measures 19 ¾ cm (32 ½ cm overall). The blade retains 75% of its original paint. The wooden grips are in very good condition. The scabbard has been expertly shortened to accommodate the blade. The leather and stitching are in excellent condition and the metalwork still retains some of its original paint. A very unique piece for the collector or enthusiast. The price includes UK delivery. 20012:2. (Trench Daggers).
