Australian Owen Mk I Sub Machine Gun 1907 Pattern Bayonet with Lithgow Marked Blade and No. 1 Scabbard. 22534:6. - 22534:6
The Owen Mk I bayonet was introduced in 1944 along with Owen Mk I/I, although the I/I model was at first known as the Mk II. The Mk I is merely the No I (Patt. 1907) with a newly made 10” blade, having a fuller of only 5”. The wartime Owen bayonets were made at Orange, therefore the OA mark. More of the Owens were produced at Lithgow in 1953 and these have the MA mark such as this one. The ricasso is stamped with inspection marks and ‘MA’ and on the other side with a Broad arrow and ’53’ (1953). The blade is in excellent condition. The bayonet has a straight waisted cross guard. The slab wood grips are both intact and are secured with two screw bolts. The pommel has the push button release, which operates smoothly and clearance hole. The No 1 late scabbard has a large frog stud along with three rivets showing on the locket. Its leather is in good condition and is stamped ‘Mangrovite TD’ with a War Department Arrow. (see page 278 & 279, item A13 in Skennerton's 'British & Commonwealth Bayonets book). The price includes UK delivery. 22534:6. (07 Box 1)

Czechoslovakian V-24 Bayonet Scabbard & Frog. 22534:4. - 22534:4
The Czechoslovakian VZ–24 bayonet is a significant artifact representing a transitional period in European military history. Originally designed for the VZ-24 Mauser rifle, this bayonet became one of the most widely produced and distributed blade designs of the 20th century. The final production variant, manufactured after the Communist takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1948, reflects the geopolitical and industrial changes of the era. Following the 1948 Communist government reforms, VZ–24 bayonets were produced until 1950, coinciding with the cessation of VZ-98N rifle production. These bayonets are distinguished by their marking ‘tgf’ a letter code introduced by the new regime. This coding system was inspired by the German practice during World War II and designated Zbrojovka Brno, the state-controlled arms manufacturer, as the producer. The ‘tgf’ marking is a hallmark of Communist-era production, symbolizing the centralized control of arms manufacturing and the strategic importance of Brno’s facilities. The bayonets from this period retained the robust, functional design of earlier models, characterized by a fullered blade, steel pommel, and wooden grip panels. The scabbard, typically of steel construction, was designed to endure harsh field conditions. The VZ–24 bayonet was not only a standard issue for Czechoslovakian forces but also an export item, contributing to its widespread use across numerous countries. Its compatibility with Mauser rifles made it a favoured choice in various military arsenals worldwide. Stamped ‘tgf’ to the pommel and frog stud of the scabbard. In very good order.

AKM Type II Bayonet and Scabbard for the AK47 Assault Rifle. 22534:1 - 22534:1
The AK47 assault rifle was introduced during a period in history when the bayonet's future was in debate. In the decade following the outbreak of the Second World War, most of the major powers produced an infantry rifle without the ability to mount a bayonet. Without a single exception, everyone was redesigned to accept a bayonet or replaced with a rifle that did within a few years of its introduction. The AK47 was Russia's entry in this debate, being designed without the intent that it mounts a bayonet. Having a change of mind, in 1955, the Russians opted for a bayonet. The AK47 bayonet hilt borrows heavily from the Swedish M1914 bayonet, another example where the bayonet was added as an afterthought. Both the AK47 bayonet and scabbard were patterned after Russia's first knife bayonet, the M1940 bayonet used with the 7.62 mm. Tokarev SVT–40 self–loading rifle. Although adequate, the dual muzzle-ring arrangement made the AK47 bayonet awkward, at best, for any other use. The AKM rifle was introduced in 1960. Among other things, the updated AK47 variant included a bayonet lug. Much easier and cheaper to manufacture than the AK47, production and use of the AKM went worldwide. The inclusion of a bayonet lug allowed for a more conventional bayonet. However, the new bayonet design, what we refer to as the AKM Type I, was far from conventional. It was as groundbreaking as the Kalashnikov itself. It incorporated several features, making for an incredibly versatile bayonet. The one-piece moulded plastic grip & pommel; and stainless-steel blade made the bayonet impervious to rust and rot. The unfullered clip-point blade had saw teeth along the spine. The steel scabbard body had a lug at the point that engaged a window cut into the blade, so that bayonet and scabbard could be combined as a wire cutter. The scabbard body had a rubber insulator, making it safe to cut electrified wire. The belt hanger was a clip-on affair that was cheap and easy to replace. A retention strap was also included, for extra grip when using as a combat knife. A truly revolutionary design that continues to influence bayonet design to the present day. An unusual design, it has a bowie type unfullered 14 ½ cm blade with a serrated back and whole near the point which engages with the scabbard to form a wire cutter. The grips are wooden, and the scabbard is a later orange composite. The leather straps are in place and in good order. The price includes UK delivery. 22534:1 (Other Countries Box 1)

British ‘1907’ Pattern Bayonet MkII Scabbard Leather Frog. 22426:5 - 22426:5
This is a nice ‘1907’ bayonet that has had its quillon removed on re-furnishment. When the British military adopted the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield rifle, its barrel was shortened to 25.2 inches (640 mm), 5” (130 mm) shorter than the preceding Magazine Lee-Enfield. British military strategists were fearful that the British infantry would be at a disadvantage when engaged in a bayonet duel with enemy soldiers who retained a longer reach. Bayonet fighting drills formed a significant part of a contemporary British infantryman’s training. Soldiers were drilled in various stances and parrying techniques against an enemy also armed with rifle and bayonet. The blade is stamped ‘Crown over G.R. 1907 and ‘Wilkinson Pall Mall’ with numerous inspection marks. In ‘1913’ it was decided to remove the quillon and all further bayonets were made without the quillon, and those that came in for refurbishment had it removed, (see Watts & White item No 820 pages 323-393). The other side of the blade has a broad arrow ‘19’ and several inspection stamps. The grips are wood, held on by two screwbolts, and are in good condition with a distinct patina. The pommel is stamped ‘T.7.CH.R’ 484. The scabbard is the ‘No1 MkII’ which is in very good order with a round frog stud. The leather hanger is excellent, the leather is supple and the stitching is good. The price includes UK delivery. 22426:5 (07 Box 1)

*Scarce* French M1886/93/16 Epee Lebel Bayonet Manufactured Without Quillon with Scabbard and Hanger. 22426:4. - 22426:4
The model M1886/93/16 Bayonet was standard issue to French soldiers fighting in the second half of WW1 after 1916 who were issued the Lebel rifle. The M1886 bayonet is an usual design which has a long thin cruciform Blade with a peculiar locking device just behind the muzzle ring and an all metal grip. Originally the bayonets had a nickel-silver handle and a hooked quillion. By 1916, with the need to conserve nickel for the war effort, the handles were made of brass. About the same time they were manufactured without the quillion. In 1893 a bayonet with a new press button was adopted, and this is known as the M1886/93. The design of the Lebel bayonet was again altered in 1916 so that it no longer incorporated a quillon. This is known as the M1886/93/16. The bayonets have a cruciform blade and tapered tubular scabbards. Overall length 63 ½ cm, Blade length 51 ½ cm. The bayonet has number ‘14526’ along with inspection marks around the mechanism. The blade is straight and true with minor age-related staining. The scabbard is equally as good with inspection marks. The leather hanger is supple, and all of the stitching is intact.

Australian M1907 Parade Bayonet and Scabbard with Regimental Numbers. 22256. - 22256
This is an Australian 1907 Pattern bayonet with 'SLAZ' marked grips and regimental markings. In around 1927 bayonet production ceased and was re commenced late in 1940. The bayonet shop was transferred from Lithgow to Orange in July 1942. The wood room, which made up rifle furniture as well as bayonet grips, was removed from Lithgow to the Slazenger Sports Goods factory in Sydney in 1941, and the mark "Slaz" on the grips indicates manufacture there. After Japans entry into the war in the Pacific, Australian bayonet development moved rapidly into newer, shorter and specialised patterns and so the long 1907 bayonets manufactured in WWII were short lived and consequently rare. The bayonet has a polished 17" blade with fullers. The ricasso is stamped with inspection marks and ‘OA’ (Orange Arsenal) and on the other side with "1907 2 43" (February 1943). The blade is in excellent condition. The bayonet has a straight waisted crossguard. The slab wood grips are both stamped "Slaz" and are secured with two screw bolts. The pommel is regimentally marked ‘D 17749’ to one side and has the push button release, which operates smoothly and clearance hole. The No 1 late scabbard has a large frog stud along with three rivets showing on the locket. It is leather and stitching are in good condition and is stamped "Mangrovite 43 (1943).
