**NEW ADDITION** 17058 U.S. M1892 Krag bayonet dated 1896 - (Janzen 217-1) Hard to find these with 1898 or earlier dates. Overall about VG-fine condition, having been arsenal overhauled a long time ago. During overhaul the scabbard was reblued (over some very fine pitting if you look closely) and the grip scales were replaced with the rivets left in the domed shape instead of being ground flush as they were for the first few years of production. The bright polished blade has clear US and 1896 date on the ricasso. Hilt has some light surface rust on it, but no heavy rust or pitting, so it will clean up nicely with some 320 or 440 emery cloth and patient work. Blade has some staining that will probably clean up with emery cloth. Scabbard is very nice with most of the arsenal reblued finish remaining. In any case, it is a good representative example of a Krag bayonet as used during the Spanish American War period. $275.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 16979 U.S. MODEL 1917 BAYONET BY WINCHESTER - Winchester made M1917 bayonets are fairly scarce. While Winchester made some 545,000 M1917 rifles, they only delivered about 396,000 bayonets. Wartime attrition reduced that number somewhat, and most of the remainder seem to have been shipped off to our various allies during WW2. I see about 25 Remington made M1917 bayonets for each of the Winchester made examples. This one probably went to a British Commonwealth nation during WW2 as the hilt has traces of the typical black paint finish they applied on bayonets. Grips are a bit scarred and beat, but this is the only one we have found recently. Some collectors insist on having a Winchester made bayonet on a Winchester M1917 or Winchester Model 12 or Model 97 trench gun, but in practice, the bayonets were shipped separately from the guns, so bayonets were issued without regard to the maker. No scabbard. $150.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 16764 U.S. M9 Bayonet and scabbard made by Phrobis - Used and in need of a good cleaning to remove some light surface rust on the blued crossguard, otherwise fine to excellent. Blade is free from any nicks and has not been excessively sharpened, and the screwdriver tip on the scabbard is not messed up. The sharpening stone is missing from the back of the scabbard, but there is one in the mag pouch on the scabbard. This is a genuine U.S. military bayonet, not one of the cheap knock-offs or something made for sale in the PX. Issue of these was pretty much limited to Marines and the more elite Army units, while ordinary grunts got the wussy old M7 bayonets. This will clean up with a minimum of effort and look a lot better than in the photos and will then be well above the average condition for a U.S. military M9 bayonet. Hard to find. $175.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 16761 M1905 BAYONET (SA 1907) & RARE M1905 SCABBARD for M1903 SPRINGFIELD - The bayonet is a very nice one with original bright polished blade and some of the original blue on the hilt and bottom 1/8” of the blade. Fine to excellent walnut grip scales. Blade has some very light staining that could be polished off if desired, and one tiny patch (1/8” x ¾”) where the staining is a bit darker. No nicks in the edge. Crisp markings SA [Springfield Armory] / ordnance bomb / 1907 on the ricasso, with serial number209281 on the other side. A very handsome bayonet showing the early bright blade finish, but not quite minty. The scabbard is the Model 1905 with the Krag style swivel hook. This is the second pattern, with the longer blue steel throat piece. These were made from sometime in 1906 until replaced by the canvas covered rawhide M1910 scabbards. At that point nearly all of the M1905 scabbards were modified by removal of the Krag hooks and installation of a leather collar with a M1910 style belt hook for use with the new style web gear. Thus unmodified examples of het M1905 scabbard are quite scarce, and we have only had maybe 2 or 3 others in the last 10+ years. The leather body on this one shows the usual wear at the tip, and apparently the side stitching had problems and a previous owner glued the seam shut so it is tight now. Unfortunately, someone put several strips of tape on the leather, it when removed, it lifted some of the surface finish. This can be made a lot less noticeable with some polishing and leather treatment. Scabbard is marked on the back RIA (Rock Island Arsenal—where all the scabbards were made then) and dated 1907. While not in the best condition, this is still a very nice representative example of the bright bladed bayonet and M1905 scabbard with matching date. $695.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 16760 U.S. MODEL M1905 BRIGHT BLADE BAYONET WITH M1905/1910 SCABBARD (SA 1915 BLADE) - A good representative example of the typical bayonet and scabbard used circa 1910-1918. The bayonet was made at Springfield Armory in 1915 with the bright finished blade and blued hilt. The scabbard is one of the leather covered M1905 types which originally had the Krag style belt hook, but was modified sometime after 1910 to replace the swivel hook with the M1910 style wire fastener. Since scabbards and bayonets were provided from different sources must about any combination of items from the same period is “correct” and these altered scabbards remained in use through WW1. The scabbard is in fine plus condition, although needing a good cleaning and treatment with leather preservative or shoe polish and then is will look even better. Good tight stitching, even on the tip. just a few scuffs which will mostly blend in after cleaning. Leather is nice and live, not all dried out or shrunken. The bayonet has about 60-70% of the blue finish on the hilt, worn mostly off on the sides of the guard. Bright polished blade has extensive light staining which may clean up with a vigorous but careful cleaning to look much nicer. This would rate VG-fine as it, with the potential to be fine to excellent after appropriate cleaning. A well above average set for the Mexican border/WW1 era. Getting hard to find these pre-WW1 pieces any more. $575.00 (View Picture)

16713 US. Made Civil War scabbard for Austrian Lorenz bayonet - Reilly S53 “American made scabbard for imported Austrian Bayonets” noted as “…seldom encountered, with few probably having been produced during the war.” This is a pretty nice example except for the brass tip being broken off. Generally the same as the typical Civil War “Type II” scabbard, except with a longer body, and having the distinctive quadrangular shape. A regular M1855 blade will fit in it (and the tip not go past the end of the leather) but it is correct only for the widely used Austrian Lorenz bayonet. Unmarked, with some flaking on the frog and the usual minor dings and scraped on the body. $95.00 (View Picture)

16712 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET FOR .58 MUSKETS AND .50-70 RIFLES (M1855-1872) - Nice original standard M1855 bayonet which was issued with all the .58 muskets (M1855-1864) and the conversions through the end of the .50-70 era. Overall VG-fine condition with mostly a dull steel gray appearance but having a layer of dried grease and crud covering most of the blade and part of the socket. This should clean off easily and look okay, and if desired a bit of work with 320 grit emery cloth will brighten it up to look more like the original bright polished finish. This has the post 1861 lock ring that turns a few degrees further than the earlier version, but they were considered 100% interchangeable in service. Markings consist of U.S. over a punch mark, and the number 5 stamped above the U.S. Will be fine on a good representative Civil War musket or .50-70 but not quite good enough for a minty example. $175.00 (View Picture)

16706 U.S. Model 1816 bayonet for M1816 .69 caliber muskets - (Janzen 198-2) Standard type with 16 inch blade with 8 inch flute on the face of the blade, with a “beak” point. Socket is 3 inches long with bore of about .825 (at the small end of the usual range, so this may not fit on your musket). “T” style mortise. Blade is stamped with “S” which is probably a poorly stuck “US” over L over M. Once thought to be inspector initials, these have been pretty well confirmed by Peter Schmidt’s research to be initials of the forger of the blades, allowing tracking of their work and subsequent charge backs for pieces that failed in inspection. I cannot identify which of the contractors made this one, but suspect it is fairly early as the shank is on the large side of the range of dimensions, and has the forward side somewhat flattened, as was the style with the earlier models. Overall about good condition with what appears to be traces of brown lacquer finish on the socket and possibly elsewhere. Socket has some patina and rust mixed in. Blade has some heavier patina and rust, but not too bad. I suspect that this one could be cleaned up with not too much pitting except in the face flute, but many collectors prefer original rust to shiny appearance, so the buyer can decide what they want to do (if anything.) A good representative example of the bayonet used by most of the Army in the Mexican war, and by a significant number of troops on both sides during the Civil War. $125.00 (View Picture)

16435 U.S. Model 1917 Bayonet by Remington- MINT UNISSUED - This is from an unopened crate of 10 bayonets which was recently found and opened. They were nested together pointing in opposite directions (pommel-tip-pommel-tip…) and show slight discoloration from prolonged contact with the cosmoline covered supports at one point about 5 inches from the tip. Otherwise the blade retains 100% of the frosty gray finish. Pommels with about 98-99% of the original bleu finish, marred by minor dings and scrapes from careless handling during manufacture, test and packing, but exactly as it came from the crate. About perfect walnut grip scales. No scabbards, as those were issued separately. $225.00 (View Picture)

15518 Scarce U.S. Model 1873 scabbard with “U.S” rosette - Only the very earliest scabbard used the rosette with the period between the U and S, as it was dropped and the remainder were simply “US” with no periods. Unfortunately the condition is only fair (at best). The leather is complete and about average condition, but the steel scabbard body is rusted and heavily pitted. Have only seen maybe 3 of these out of all the trapdoor scabbards we have seen over the years, so it may be a long wait for a nicer one. $75.00 (View Picture)

15517 U.S. M1855 bayonet for .58 caliber Civil War muskets- rusty relic - Heavily rusted and light to moderately pitted underneath the smooth brown rust. The rear of the socket has been damaged as shown in the photos. A good old Civil War relic. No history to enhance it as it may be from a famous battle location, or more likely was salvaged from some farmer’s barn a thousand miles from any combat. Cheap history. $55.00 (View Picture)

16471 U.S. Model 1873 Scabbard for .45-70 (NICE!) - (Reilly S 85) Standard scabbard used from about 1874 until the end of the trapdoor era (although after 1885 it was largely superseded by the later M1885 scabbard with the long brass hook for use with Mills loop style belts. The M1873 was intended for wear on the leather waist belt. This is an excellent example with about 80% of the bright blue finish on the metal scabbard body, marred by storage staining down the front of the body. Leather suspension loop and frog is about perfect. This has the second (post 1874) “US” in the brass rosette, while a few of the very earliest has “U.S” with a period. Have only had a handful of scabbard better than this over the last few years, and far above average. $125.00 (View Picture)

16460 U.S. MODEL 1905 BAYONET  WITH M1910 SCABBARD (NICE!)- IDENTIFIED TO WW2 NAVY SEABEE - An excellent example of the classic Model 1905 bayonet issued with the M1903 Springfields during WWI and WW2, and also issued with the M1 Garand during WW2.  Made at Springfield Armory in 1909, this originally had the blade polished bright.  However, after about 1917 orders were given to use a dark finish on the blades and many were refinished, and this one now has about 95+% of the old arsenal black parkerized type  finish on the blade, and about 95% on the hilt with lots of storage scratches/scrapes on the crossguard.  Blade may have been lightly sharpened (prior to being refinished).  The walnut grips are about excellent with some smoothing on the rough turned finish, which is slightly darkened from storage in cosmoline. The M1910 scabbard has an excellent woven web cover with brown leather tip, and all stitching is tight and clean.  The body has some minor soiling so it is not quite minty, but close.  Former owner name GLENN PRICE WARD is ink stamped on the front of the body and both sides of the leather tip. Thanks to a visitor, it appears that this was issued to a WW2 U.S. Navy SEABEE from Oklahoma. 
An Oklahoma veterans’ site http://www.mybragpage.com/wwii/ward_glenn_price lists his service as “CCM Glenn Price Ward, son [of] W. D. Ward, graduated from Okla. A & M College; husband of the former Betty Joyce Longwell. Entered Seabees in April, 1942, trained in Norfol[k], Va., and Camp Parks, Cal.; served in the Midways, Hawaii and the Philippines.  Awarded Am. Theatre Ribbon, Asiatic Pacific Ribbon, Philippine Lib. Ribbon, Bronze Star, Good Conduct Medal.”  CCM is the old abbreviation for “Chief Construction Mechanic” and during WW2, the Bronze Star was awarded for much more deserving deeds than in later conflicts.  It is quite likely that the SEABEEs were still armed with M1903 Springfields at that time, although they may have had M1 Garands, but the bayonet would have been issued with either one.  The SEABEEs “can do” spirit and “We build, we fight” motto was proven to be no boast, as they quickly built airstrips and port facilities throughout the Pacific to keep our advances moving forward.
One of the best M1905 bayonets and M1910 scabbard we have offered in a very long time, and one of the few SEABEE identified items we have ever seen for sale other than uniforms.  An excellent veteran that will go nicely with a rifle in just slightly less than pristine condition. $750.00 (View Picture)

15515 Lot of 3 socket scabbards circa 1840-1865 - These came in with a lot of bayonets and swords and will be sold as a single lot. A- Regulation U.S. “Type II” scabbard adopted circa 1858-59 with two rivets. This one is overall VG condition with good leather and minimal cracking or flaking, but the tip is missing. Looks like it was probably for the 16 inch blade of the M1816 bayonet, but could have worked with the 18 inch M1855 or 1842 bayonets although they might stop slightly short of seating fully. No markings. We are including a free CW era brass tip from a scabbard, but it will not fit any of these three. Reilly S51. B- Regulation U.S. Model 1861 scabbard with 8 rivets for the 18 inch M1855 or M1842 bayonets. Tip is broken off and missing. Leather is dark, stiff with cracking and flaking. Has faint traces of the double oval markings often seen on Gaylord made items. Reilly S54. C- Non-regulation pattern, crude construction, probably militia or Confederate. Belt loop is noticeably narrower than the regulation patterns. Leather is scuffed, stiff and flaking. Stitching is weak and loose. Tip is broken off and missing. This will fit the 18 inch M1855 or M1842 bayonets but the point will stick out the bottom, or with the tip of the bayonet safely inside, will fit the 16 inch M1816 blades so common in early years of the war, especially in the South. Very similar to Reilly S63. The lot of three for $175.00 (View Picture)

15514 U.S. M1912 Fencing bayonet - (Janzen 236-2) This was used with the .45-70 Trapdoor Springfields converted to Type IV “Fencing Muskets”. Those were cut down to the size of a M1903 Springfield and fitted with this type of bayonet for “fencing musket” drills- basically bayonet fighting training. About 11-12,000 of these rifles were made circa 1907-1916. Most of the fencing muskets got broken up for parts years ago, but we find them from time to time- check the antique longarms page to see what is in stock now. This bayonet is similar to the Model 1909, with two “crossguard” type pieces attached to the rear of the blade, so that the muzzle rings slip over the exposed part of the barrel and are then held in place with screws. The M1912 added a much thicker area on the right side of the muzzle rings to strengthen them where the screw holes removed so much metal. The blade is made of spring steel, with a rounded tip, all covered with leather. This one has clear markings indicating manufacture at Rock Island Arsenal in 1913 and inspection by HEC. Some of the stitching behind the tip is giving way, but the leather is relatively clean and not all beat up like most of these. Hard to find in any condition, and the light surface rust at the “hilt” area should clean up nicely. The forward crossguard has the lower rivet broken so it will swing out of position, but fine for display as is. The blade has a slight upward bend instead of being straight, but not too bad. Overall G-VG, but well above average as most of these were beat to death in practice. A relatively scarce item for the obsessive M1903 or trapdoor collector. $150.00 (View Picture)

15511 U.S. M1862 Remington Zouave sword bayonet w/relic scabbard - (Janzen 208-2, Hardin #74). The Remington “Zouave” rifles was a slightly improved version of the M1841 “Mississippi” rifle adopted in 1862 and only made by Remington. Inexplicably, these handsome, and effective, rifles were never issued during the Civil War, but remained in storage and were later sold off as surplus. This brass handled sword bayonet with “Yataghan” style blade looks like a number of other bayonets of the Civil War era, but the dimensions will only fir the Zouave. These are easily identified (unlike most of the sword bayonets) by the presence of the inspector initials BH on the top of the handle, just behind the muzzle ring, the only markings. This one has been somewhat abused and neglected, but will clean up quite a bit. The blade is mostly dull steel gray color, mixed with staining, some crud and corrosion and a few spots of light surface rust and no pitting to speak of. However, youthful pirates must have captured this as the edge of the blade has lots of tiny nicks, but a few file strokes would eliminate most of them. The cast brass hilt is basically good condition, but shows some battering on the muzzle ring and around the stud groove and latch, so it may take a bit of fitting to allow it to attach to a rifle, but it displays nicely as is. This comes with about 2/3 of the original scabbard in somewhat ratty condition. Will look a lot better after cleaning the blade and be a good representative example of the flashy (but heavy and poorly balanced) weapon that was awkward to useless as either a bayonet or a sword. $200.00 (View Picture)

15506 U.S. M1873 bayonet for .45-70 trapsoor rifles with NJ Scabbard - (Janzen 203-3) Standard M1873 bayonet as issued with the .45-70 “trapdoor” rifle models 1873-1884, with a M1873 scabbard having the leather belt loop to fit over the leather waist belt, and having the brass rosette marked N.J. as issued to New Jersey militia/volunteer units. While not in the best condition, these two will clean up considerably. The bayonet blade is near excellent with 90% original blue, and about 5% light spots of surface rust. The socket and shank (which were exposed while the blade was protected by the scabbard) has more and heavier rust, but much of it should clean off. Scabbard body has about 80% original blue, turning plum mixed with spots of light surface rust. The leather frog is stiff with cracking and flaking, about average for these any more. This set will look a lot better after a bit of work cleaning by soaking the metal with some WD-40 or oil, then carefully scrubbing with one of the stainless steel spiral scrubby sponges, or careful scraping with an artist’s palette knife held at an angle and kept lubricated with oil or WD-40. This technique is usually very successful in removing light rust without damaging the blued finish underneath. A good representative example. $149.00 (View Picture)

15505 U.S. M4 BAYONET FOR M1 CARBINE WITH LEATHER GRIPS- MADE BY IMPERIAL - An about average example of the M4 bayonet made for the M1 carbine late in WW2 after the adoption of the bayonet lug. Leather grips are VG-fine, nice and tight and not scarred or mashed or anything. This has the plastic spacers at the ends. Blade has some of the light greenish-gray parkerize finish, and has been sharpened and shows wear on the blade, but not really abused. Lots of dirt and cud everywhere and some patina and scattered light rust, Overall, this is very dirty and needs a good cleaning and some leather treatment or shoe polish on the leather. Good markings on the pommel and crossguard. The M8A1 scabbard is G-VG condition except that someone has removed the belt hook, apparently preferring to wear it using the belt loop (as was the only option for the early issue M8 scabbards before the hook was added to create the M8A1). Initials AEP scratched on the back. These bayonets continued in use through Korea and into the Vietnam war. A good representative example but not even close to minty condition. $125.00 (View Picture)

16536 KRAG BOLO/MACHETE BAYONET (FANTASY FAKE ITEM) - About 50 bolo bayonets were made for the Krag, and understandably they are exceedingly rare, and priced accordingly. This is a fantasy fake of an item that never existed (although there was actually a similar bayonet made for the M1903 Springfield in 1915). This is the hilt of a standard Krag bayonet welded to the blade from a M1909 bolo. The maker/faker stamped US on the ricasso. This is a neat gag item to put out on the table and listen to all the experts explain what it is, or to ask the local expert about it. A fun item to display in your gun room attached to a rifle. Remember, this will fit on a Krag, M1903, or even the M1 Garand. Condition is overall VG, for what it is. $225.00 (View Picture)

16515 U.S. M1905/M1 BAYONET PARTS- GRIPS AND CATCH ASSEMBLY - What you see is what you get. One pair of black Bakelite grips with screw, and the internal catch parts- latch, plunger and spring. All used good condition. The lot for $25.00 (View Picture)

16232 U.S. MODEL 1892 BAYONET FOR THE M1892-1898 KRAG RIFLES, DATED 1899 - Needs a good cleaning as these were finished bright when made, but someone darkened the blade with some cold blue or rust brown type solution. It has been sharpened somewhat, but will look pretty good once it is cleaned up. Good walnut grip scales. This will fit any of the U.S. .30-40 Krag rifles, and also fits the M1903 and M1 Garand rifles, although never officially issued with them. No scabbard. $95.00 (View Picture)

16116 U.S. MODEL 1917 BAYONET MADE BY WINCHESTER WITH SCABBARD - Overall about good condition, and the first Winchester made bayonet we have had in quite a while. Although everyone wants a Winchester bayonet for use on Winchester made M1917 rifles, or on the M1897 or Model 12 trench guns, the bayonets were delivered separately, so there was no attempt to match bayonet maker with gun maker when issuing bayonets. Bayonet has traces of blue finish on the hilt, but mostly overall dull steel gray. Edge of blade has been sharpened. Good clear markings. No evidence that this has been issued overseas by addition of foreign markings or grinding a false edge to the tip of the blade. Scabbard is correct original U.S. M1917 scabbard, with excellent leather body and about 95% of the OD paint remaining. However the throat piece is moderately pitted on the front and back, although the tip piece is pretty good. While not something for the wealthy condition collectors, this is a very presentable representative example of the fairly scarce Winchester made M1917 bayonet with scabbard. $250.00 (View Picture)

15858 U.S. Model 1900 KRAG "BOWIE" BAYONET - The Krag Bowie bayonet was one of those periodic attempts by the armchair generals to come up with a combination weapon that ultimately fails to perform either task very well. About 2,850 were made by Springfield in 1900, and some 2,500 were issued for field trials, mainly in the Philippines. The story that came with the bayoent was that it came from the Philippines where it was being used for cooking! While they are a truly handsome (and intimidating) looking weapon, they are somewhat fragile, with the thin tips breaking off easily, especially if trying to use them for entrenching purposes. The 9.1” x 1.75” blade was very curved on the upper and lower edges with a clipped point. This example has been badly treated over the years. Although it would be nice to think there was some exciting story about combat in the jungles, it is more likely that Bubba had one that grandpa smuggled home from Philippines and decided to make it into a hunting knife. He proceeded to sharpen it nearly to death, ending up with a blade about 8.5” x 1.5” but preserving the basic shape. He also removed about ¼ inch off the bottom of the crossguard. The walnut grip scales are badly worn, especially where they join the pommel. Scattered pitting remains despite heavy sharpening and cleaning. Pretty good markings, US on one side and 1900 on the other. I have no doubt that this is an authentic original M1900 Krag Bowie bayonet made at Springfield Armory. No scabbard, and they are scarcer than the bayonets! However the condition slashes the force from the usual $2,000 or higher down to a more affordable $595.00 (View Picture)

10497 US M1873 .45-70 TRAPDOOR BAYONET SCABBARD (Massachusetts) - A good representative example of the M1873 .45-70 trapdoor bayonet scabbard used by many Volunteer regiments during the Spanish American War. This is the Model 1873 that was worn on the leather waist belt which passed through the leather frog loop. The later M1885 scabbard had the long brass hook which slipped into one of the loops on the Mills woven cartridge belts. Metal scabbard body has about 80% blue turning plum but still with mostly a blue hue, and is nice and smooth, not rusty or pitted. Leather frog has some flexing and cracking, but is not flaking or torn. Massachusetts was one of several states which orders scabbards with their own markings, and they also seem to have marked many of their bayonets and rifle with “MASS” across the face of the blade, or on the top of the receiver. This would be great to display with one of those. $115.00 (View Picture)

15718 VIETNAM ERA U.S. M1917 BAYONET & SCABBARD MADE FOR USE WITH TRENCH GUNS - Made by General Cutlery and marked on the dace of the crossguard with US M1917/ GENCUT. Dark gray parkerized finish except for factory sharpened edge which was done after finishing. About 98% finish remains, showing just normal wear on sharp edges of the hilt and a bit of in and out wear on the blade. Black plastic grips. Overall workmanship is significantly below WW1 era M1917 bayonets, but these were procured from the lowest bidder to the minimum acceptable government specifications during the Vietnam era. Plastic scabbard body with parkerized metal throat marked U.S.- M1917/ VZM. Very nice example, best we have had in a long time. $295.00 (View Picture)

15812 M4 Bayonet for M1 Carbine- Plastic replacement grip (one only) - Genuine original GI replacement grips. Marked on inside with drawing number 72668227. This is the side that is counterbored so that the screw head is flush. One grip only, not a pair, but if you need one, this is your lucky day! $10.00 (View Picture)

15438 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET FOR .58 MUSKETS AND .50-70 RIFLES (M1855-1872) - Standard original M1855 bayonet which was issued with all the .58 muskets (M1855-1864) and the conversions through the end of the .50-70 era. Overall G-VG condition with mostly a dull steel gray appearance with some stains and small pits and a few areas of rust. Socket is very lightly wire brushed leaving the surface a frosty appearance with extremely fine roughness. This has the post 1861 lock ring that turns a few degrees further than the earlier version, but they were considered 100% interchangeable in service. Could be cleaned up if you like a more polished appearance. Markings consist of a punch mark , then a space, the a small S. The single S is usually the mark of Springfield armory, and it is likely that the lightly stuck U.S on the face of the blade above that has been lost in a period cleaning. Will be fine on a good representative Civil War musket or .50-70. $195.00 (View Picture)

15432 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET FOR .58 MUSKETS AND .50-70 RIFLES (M1855-1872) - Standard original M1855 bayonet which was issued with all the .58 muskets (M1855-1864) and the conversions through the end of the .50-70 era. Overall G-VG condition with mostly a dull steel gray appearance with a fair amount of very fine surface rust that will easily clean off and leave it looking a lot better. This has the first type, with the locking ring having a shorter throw than the post 1861 lock ring that turns a few degrees further than the earlier version, but they were considered 100% interchangeable in service. Could be cleaned up if you like a more polished appearance. Markings consist of the U. from a poorly struck U.S on the face of the blade. Will be fine on a good representative Civil War musket or .50-70. $149.00 (View Picture)

15428 U.S. MODEL 1892 KRAG BAYONET (NO SCABBARD) - 1901 dated- Overall not quite good condition, but not total trash either. Blade has been neatly sharpened during its period of use. Pommel has some light rust (but probably very little if any pitting underneath) and rest of the hilt is dull steel gray. Some very light fingerprint type rust on the blade that should come off with a good cleaning. Grips show some wear but are pretty nice. This is one that could be aggressively cleaned up for use by a reenactor, or it will display just fine with a less than stellar Krag. The very best feature is the price, only $145.00 (View Picture)

15333 U.S. M1873 BAYONET FOR .45-70 TRAPDOORS - Bayonet retains about 98% of the arsenal blue finish. The US is somewhat faint, evidently from polishing as the old Civil War era bayonets were modified for the smaller muzzles of the trapdoors and refinished in blue. As nice a bayonet as we have seen in recent years. It comes with the metal body from a M1873-1885 scabbard, but the leather frog assembly is missing, It has some of the original blue, and mostly an old coat of black paint plus a large piece of masking tape. Good to keep from sticking yourself, but not much for the collector so we are throwing the scabbard body in for free. This wil fit any of the M1873-1884 .45-70 rifles. $150.00 (View Picture)

15299 U.S. Model 1917 Bayonet (no scabbard) - This is an almost excellent example with about 97-98% of the original blue on the hilt, excellent walnut grip scales, and much of the frosty gray finish on the blade. However, it has been stored poorly and there are a couple of tiny rust spots on the hilt and the right side of the blade has a fair number of somewhat unsightly stains and there are some small surface rust spots near the tip. The left side has a few minor stains. This is the standard configuration with the clean out hole in the pommel and the 1917 dated blade with just U.S. inspector markings (no cancelled British marks). A nice example of the bayonet used on the M1917 “Enfield” rifles. Although the bayonets were made by Remington and Winchester (and none by Eddystone, although it was a Remington subsidiary), these were delivered, stored, and issued separately from the rifles, not as “stands of arms” [consisting a rifle with bayonet] as had been the case prior to WW1. In fact, far fewer bayonets were delivered than rifles, and it is perfectly correct to use a Remington (or Winchester) made bayonet on any of the M1917 rifles. Will still go nicely with an above average rifle. $165.00 (View Picture)

15298 U.S. Model 1917 Bayonet (no scabbard) - A very nice example of the bayonet used on the M1917 “Enfield” rifles. Although the This is a near excellent example with about 95-97% of the original blue on the hilt, excellent walnut grip scales, and much of the frosty gray finish on the blade, although it has a moderate amount of staining, mainly on the left side of the blade with a few stained spots on the right side. This is the standard configuration with the clean out hole in the pommel and the 1917 dated blade with just U.S. inspector markings (no cancelled British marks). bayonets were made by Remington and Winchester (and none by Eddystone, although it was a Remington subsidiary), these were delivered, stored, and issued separately from the rifles, not as “stands of arms” [consisting a rifle with bayonet] as had been the case prior to WW1.

Will go nicely with a well above average rifle. $195.00 (View Picture)

15291 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET MADE BY COLLINS & CO. FOR M1855-1861 .58 MUSKETS - At first glance this is as nice a M1855 bayonet as I have seen in years, with the added advantages of being made by the famous Collins & Company, and having the 1861 and earlier short rotation on the locking ring. Bright steel finish has mellowed to a smooth silver-gray with only a very few small specks of staining. Perfect for a minty M1855 or early M1861 musket. The Collins marking “C & Co” marked on the socket However, close inspection reveals the letter “C” struck on the rear of the socket, the infamous “mark of condemnation” indicating that this bayonet was rejected by federal inspectors. The flaw is probably in the welding of the shank to the socket as the faired in portion at the rear of the shank seems to be separates slightly, although the blade is firmly and permanently attached, so it is more of a cosmetic defect than a major problem. Still, the inspector did his job, and the bayonet was probably then sold to fill a state order instead! For someone who wants the very best, but with an interesting twist to the story. I know I will regret not keeping this for myself! $395.00 (View Picture)

10580 SCARCE EARLY MODEL 1873 TRAPDOOR BAYONET SCABBARD - (Reilly S84) This is the early type with the leather belt loop and brass rosette marked "U.S" while the later more common type has only the letters "US" without the period between them. The M1873 type scabbard was issued with the M1873-1884 Springfield Trapdoor rifles for use with the leather waist belts being used during the McKeever cartridge boxes era, prior to the Mills type web belts. Very good example with steel body smooth and clean but a mix of some blue, and mostly plum/patina and a bit or rust or light pitting too. Nice leather frog with legible Watervliet Arsenal markings and showing some flexing and wear. Hard to find these in decent shape as most were worn out and then scrapped as the M1885 scabbard was issued. $139.00 (View Picture)

14929 U.S. Model 1869 Trowel Bayonet Scabbard - (Reilly S126) One of about 504 made at Springfield in 1869-1870 for the experimental Chillingworth trowel bayonet. These will only partially accept the later M1873 trowel bayonet but is a good filler as loose M1873 scabbards are about as scarce. Stiff, with cracking and flaking as shown in the photos. The illegible markings are “PAT. DEC. 1, 1868” over “U.S.” (Last one of these we had about 15 years ago was sold to Robert Reilly, and is probably the one shown in his book.) A very scarce addition to a U.S. martial arms collection. One of the tiny rivets that secure the tip to the leather is missing, but tip is secured by the other one. $250.00 (View Picture)

14462 U.S. M4 Bayonet for the M1 Carbine with scabbard - Made by Imperial with the markings on the crossguard on the wrong side, or the guard got reversed when arsenal overhauled. Has about 90-95% of an arsenal overhauled medium gray parkerized finish. Has late style plastic grips, but not sure if this was made this way or is one of the WW2 bayonets made with leather grips which deteriorated and were replaced with the plastic when overhauled. Comes with a used G-VG M8A1 scabbard. $65.00 (View Picture)

14916 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET FOR .58 MUSKETS AND .50-70 RIFLES (M1855-1872) - Standard original M1855 bayonet which was issued with all the .58 muskets (M1855-1864) and the conversions through the end of the .50-70 era. Overall G-VG condition with mostly a dull steel gray appearance with some stains and small pits and a few areas of rust. This has the post 1861 lock ring that turns a few degrees further than the earlier version, but they were considered 100% interchangeable in service. Could be cleaned up if you like a more polished appearance. Markings consist of U.S on the face of the blade. Will be fine on a good, but not minty CW musket or .50-70. $175.00 (View Picture)

14462 U.S. M4 Bayonet for the M1 Carbine with scabbard - Made by Imperial with the markings on the crossguard on the wrong side, or the guard got reversed when arsenal overhauled.

Has late style plastic grips, but not sure if this was made this way or is one of the WW2 bayonets made with leather grips which deteriorated and were replaced with the plastic when overhauled. Comes with a used G-VG M8A1 scabbard. $65.00 (View Picture)

14424 U.S. MODEL 1816 BAYONET FOR PERCUSSION CONVERSIONS OF M1816 MUSKETS - At the time that the M1816 flintlock muskets were being converted (circa 1856-1863) contracts were let for a supply of replacement bayonet for those which had been damaged or lost over the years. These had the M1816 style sockets, but instead of the old 16 inch blades, the current M1855 style 18 inch blades were used. These are most often associated with the Hewes & Phillips conversions, but could have been issued with any of the M1816 conversion. This is a nice example, not quite minty, showing a mix of a lot of original bright polished finish, mixed with some staining and rust sports. If desired this could be cleaned up to be a really nice example. Since the M1816s were not 100% interchangeable, and a bit of hand fitting was often necessary to mate a musket and bayonet. $195.00 (View Picture)

14289 WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 SOCKET BAYONET FOR M1873 (NEAR MINT UNISSUED!) - (Janzen 204-2) These use the common M1855 style blade shape, but the smaller diameter socket and short shank and very long riccasso of the face of the blade are distinctive identifying features on these. Many of the M1873 muskets were sold overseas, but a fair number were sold to state militias and domestic users for guard use. This example retains about 98% of the original bright polished finish, with one strip of light surface rust that should clean off along the edge of blade at the rear. About as close to mint unissued as you will ever get. Nicest of the doze or so I have seen over the years. $325.00 (View Picture)

14283 WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 SOCKET BAYONET FOR M1873 WINCHESTER - (Janzen 204-2) These use the common M1855 style blade shape, but the smaller diameter socket and short shank and very long riccasso of the face of the blade are distinctive identifying features on these. Many of the M1873 muskets were sold overseas, but a fair number were sold to state militias and domestic users for guard use. This example retains about 95% of the original bright polished finish, slightly dulling to steel gray, but has scattered speckles of staining and a tiny patch of very light pitting (about 3/8” diameter) halfway own the blade. Still overall excellent example. $275.00 (View Picture)

14282 WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 SOCKET BAYONET FOR M1873 WINCHESTER - (Janzen 204-2) These use the common M1855 style blade shape, but the smaller diameter socket and short shank and very long riccasso of the face of the blade are distinctive identifying features on these. Many of the M1873 muskets were sold overseas, but a fair number were sold to state militias and domestic users for guard use. This example retains about 95% of the original bright polished finish, slightly dulling to steel gray, but has scattered speckles of staining and an area about 3 inches long near the tip on the face flute with light pitting. Still a very nice example. $225.00 (View Picture)

14188 U.S. MODEL 1892 KRAG BAYONET & SCABBARD - 1899 dated- Overall not quite good condition, but not total trash either. Blade has been neatly sharpened during its period of use. Hilt has scattered roughness but still looks okay unless you look closely. Scabbard body has a dent on front and back about an inch from the tip, which does not interfere with use. Scabbard body has much of the original finish, with the blue turned plum or to patina. Right grip scale is cracked but not loose. This is one that could be aggressively cleaned up and the scabbard refinished for use by a reenactor, or it will display just fine with a less than stellar Krag. The very best feature is the price, only $125.00 (View Picture)

10494 U.S. MODEL 1917 BAYONET BY REMINGTON - About mint unissued, but with some scttered light staining and maybe a few scratches on the frosty gray part of the blade. Hilts with 99% original blue finish, just a few insignificant storage dings. Excellent plus walnut grip scales. Marked 1917 over Remington in circle with US and inspector marks on other side. Still has cosmoline in the recesses of the hilt. Not quite perfect due to the staining, but pretty darn nice anyway. $185.00 (View Picture)

13677 U.S. MODEL 1905 BAYONET- BRIGHT BLADE SA 1909 WITH M1905/1910 SCABBARD - A very nice example of the early “bright blade” Model 1905 bayonet as made up to the start of WW1 when they began to darken the blades, and later most of the bright blade models were refinished, leaving the survivors scarce and desirable. This one was made at Springfield Armory in 1909, with serial number 401253. Walnut grip scales retain their rough turning texture and have only the GI oil finish. Hilt and crossguard retain about 90% of the original blued finish, along with the blue strip on the lower portion of the blade. Blade has been lightly sharpened and cleaned. Some scattered light pitting in the fuller, mainly at the rear on the right side, visible in the photographs. The scabbard is a VG Model 1905 leather covered scabbard which originally had a Krag style swivel hook. These were converted after adoption of the M1910 belt system by removal of the swivel hook and addition of a leather collar with a M1910 hook. There are two types of conversion and this is the “type 1” discussed in Gary Cunningham’s American Military Bayonets of the 20th Century on pages 29-30. Scabbard body has original Rock Island 1911 markings, and was probably converted almost immediately after being accepted. As with nearly all of the leather covered scabbards, the tip stitching has split and the leather pulled back some as the leather shrunk over the years. A well above average example of the early M1905 bayonet. Very hard to find these any more. $650.00 (View Picture)

13676 U.S. MODEL 1905 BAYONET- BRIGHT BLADE SA 1906 WITH M1910 SCABBARD - A very nice example of the early “bright blade” Model 1905 bayonet as made up to the start of WW1 when they began to darken the blades, and later most of the bright blade models were refinished, leaving the survivors scarce and desirable. This one was made at Springfield Armory in 1906 (the first year these were made), with serial number 165790. Walnut grip scales retain their rough turning texture and have only the GI oil finish. Hilt and crossguard retain about 80% of the original blued finish, along with the blue strip on the lower portion of the blade. Right side of blade has a number of areas of staining with a few spots where it is light roughness or pitting. Most of these could be polished out with some careful work with 320 or 400 or finer grit emery cloth working parallel with the blade and backing the cloth with some wood or a file to apply even pressure. It may be better to just leave it alone and accept the fact that bright blades did tend to rust easily. Blade has been lightly cleaned at some time but never sharpened. The scabbard is a very nice Model 1910 with the rawhide covered body and light khaki woven web cover and brown leather tip. The tip is fully intact with tight stitching, although scuffed up a bit. A small amount of fraying at the loop for the M1910 belt hook. Old ID number (369?) stamped on both side of the tip but otherwise unmarked. A well above average example of the early M1905 bayonet. Very hard to find these any more. $625.00 (View Picture)

9607 U.S.M4 BAYONET FOR M1 CARBINE W/SCABBARD (CONETTA) - Overall about excellent but showing light use but no excessive wear or sharpening. This one by Conetta is 1960s era production, made with the plastic grips. This is the type used in Vietnam, while the WW2 issue carbine bayonet had the leather handles, which did not hold up well in tropical conditions. Complete with M8A1 scabbard. $79.00 (View Picture)

226 M7 Bayonet & Scabbard - Almost like new. Slight "in and out" wear on the blade finish, maybe some thinning of finish at the tip as well. The classic bayonet for the M16 series rifles. Maker may vary, but the one we grabbed for the photo was made by Imperial. Genuine U.S. military issue, not cheap foreign copies or "made up surplus" junk. $35.00 (View Picture)

209 M7 Bayonet & Scabbard - Nearly new with original wrapping paper dated 1984. Slight "in and out" wear on the blade finish. The classic bayonet for the M16 series rifles.

12917 U.S. MODEL 1892 BAYONET AND SCABBARD FOR KRAG RIFLES, DATED 1899 - A very nice representative Krag bayonet. Probably arsenal cleaned at some point as the markings are a little weak from cleaning the blade, and the grip rivets are finished flush instead of domed as is usually the case on these. Scabbard with about 90-95% blue finish which is turning a bit toward plum color, but still well above average for Krag bayonets we see these days. $225.00 (View Picture)

12861 Two scarce bayonets for Winchester muskets (1873 & 1892?) - I believe these are Reilly B140 and B141, but previous owner only identified one as Hardin 43. Both have the distinctive short shank typical of the Winchester 1866-1873 family. The mortise is cut so that when fixed, the blade is beneath the barrel instead of on the right side as is the norm with socket bayonets. Sockets are nearly identical. Blades differ quite a bit, with the flutes stopping at different points and the rear taper of the shoulders and rounding of the face of the blade differ noticeably. The brighter looking example is a dull steel gray with some scattered areas of light pitting on the blade. The darker looking one is mostly a dull patina with a hint of blue, and some patches of patina accumulating here and there, mostly on the blade. Scarce items in any condition. From the estate of a past President of the Winchester Arms Collectors. Your choice $295 each or take both for $395.00 $395.00 (View Picture)

12854 U.S. Model 1873 Bayonet - (Reilly B128) Blade with about 96-98% original blue, and a few minor tiny stained spots, or tiny rust freckles. Socket got exposed to weather and has about 95% blue mixed with some staining and patina. Almost minty, and one of the nicer trapdoor bayonets we have seen lately. $150.00 (View Picture)

12860 Winchester Bayonet for M1873 Musket - 18 inch blade and .690 bore and the short shank and long tapered shoulder typical of the Winchester bayonets. Overall excellent condition with about 75% original bright polished finish remaining, the rest a mix of dull steel gray mixed with some light staining and fingerprint rust. If you like them really shiny, this one will clean up easily and nicely. A scarce blade in superb condition. $200.00 (View Picture)

12850 U.S. Model 1855 Bayonet - (Reilly B92) This is a standard Model 1855 type 1 bayonet in all respects which will fit any of the M1855, 1861, 1863, 1865, 1866, 1868, 1870 Springfields as well as the M1871 rolling block. An bit better than average example. Overall a dull steel gray with some staining and a few widely scattered tiny rust spots or pits, however, one side of the blade has an area about 2 inches long that has heavy rust scale and undoubtedly some pitting underneath if it is removed. Too bad, as otherwise this would be a fine or better example. A nice one to display with a musket in similar mostly nice condition having a few flaws. $195.00 (View Picture)

13151 U.S. MODEL 1888 "ROD BAYONET" FOR M1888 "TRAPDOOR RIFLE - This is the round rod byaonet that doubled as a cleaning rod in the M1888 rifles. These are often found missing, and replacements are surprisingly hard to find. Theya re also nice additions to a bayonet collection. Used VG-Fine, maybe even excellent condition. About 90% original blue. $125.00 (View Picture)

13041 U.S. MODEL 1816 BAYONET (L MORTISE) - Standard version of this bayonet with blade a nominal 16" long and having a flute halfway down the face. Marked US over JB, indicating inspection by James Bell. Remember, the M1816 muskets were not interchangeable, and after whatever hand fitting was required, the socket was usually (but not always) maked with a letter/number code to match that on a musket so that when a case of 20 muskets was opened and issued a bayonet could be identified for each, without having to mix and match all possible combinations until the proper mates were located. These were made with the mortises for the barrel stud being a simple "L" design (assumed to be the earlier design) or a "T" slot which made it more difficult to remove the bayonet. This has the "L" mortise. Finish is a silver gray from cleaning, with scattered light pitting. Two forging flaws in the steel are visible in the blade. Socket is not numbered. $149.00 (View Picture)

13002 U.S. MODEL 1855 BAYONET FOR .58 MUSKETS AND .50-70 RIFLES (M1855-1872) - Standard original M1855 bayonet which was issued with all the .58 muskets (M1855-1864) and the conversions through the end of the .50-70 era. Overall G-VG condition with mostly a dull steel gray appearance but some stains and small pits. Could be cleaned up if you like a more polished appearance. Markings consist of U.S on the face of the blade. Will be fine on a good, but not minty CW musket or .50-70. $175.00 (View Picture)

13000 U.S. MODEL 1892 BAYONET AND SCABBARD FOR KRAG RIFLES, DATE 1899 - A good representative Krag bayonet to go with a rifle that shows some use. Blade has been lightly sharpened during the period of use, and now has some pitting near the tip and a bit of roughness on the upper right side of the blade and a bit more elsewhere. Scabbard has about 30% of the original blue finish remaining, but rest is mix of rest spots and patina. A careful cleaning may improve the appearance of the scabbard a bit, but may not be worth the effort. If your Krag rifle is starting to show some rust spots, this would go nicely with it. $175.00 (View Picture)

12998 U.S. MODEL 1892 BAYONET AND SCABBARD FOR KRAG RIFLES, DATE 1897 - Arsenal cleaned and overhauled with grips replaced at that time, so it how has the rivet heads in the “domed” configuration instead of being ground flush as was done up until about 1899. Right grip has small brass plate inletted in place, but no marks- surely there is an explanation for this- either a famous personage presenting this as a souvenir, or perhaps Bubba getting ready to engrave his name, but we sure don’t know. Scabbard has about 80-90% good blue remaining, mixed with some very light surface rust that may clean off somewhat. One large dent right at the tip and three insignificant dents on the back that do not interfere with function. One eraser size patch of pitting on right side of blade. Overall a pretty nice representative bayonet with early date. $175.00 (View Picture)

12759 US M1855-70 STYLE SOCKET BAYONET - Good representative example of the bayonet used with all the .58 muskets and the .50-70 conversions. Overall VG-fine with slight traces of roughness in the metal in various places. Has been cleaned, but looks very nice, close to the "ass issue" bright polished appearance, mixed with some staining and widely scattered traces of surface rust, especially near the tip of the blade. Very presentable as is, it would look better with a bit of work with 320-440 emery cloth would make this look like when it was first issued. Above average example of the classic bayonet for a Civil War musket. Only marking is the US on the blade. $225.00 (View Picture)

12662 U.S. M7 BAYONET BY BOC FOR M16 RIFLE WITH M8A1 SCABBARD - Used fine to excellent. Original finish, showing some scabbard wear, but not sharpened or anything like that. Photo shows several bayonets, but price is for just one bayonet and scabbard. $35.00 (View Picture)

12400 KOREAN MADE K-M4 BAYONET FOR M1 CARBINES - Nice example about identical to US made versions except for markings and slightly lesser quality workmanship. No scabbard.. $35.00 (View Picture)

12385 U.S. MODEL 1873 BAYONET FOR .45-70 TRAPDOOR RIFLES - Looks great sitting in a scabbard with about 95-98% original blue finish on the socket and shank. Unfortunately the blade had some rusted areas and Bubba got his Dremel tool out and removed the rust and left bright areas around them. This would look a lot better with some touch up with cold blue. An okay representative example, or good for a reenactor. Cheap. No scabbard. $65.00 (View Picture)

12050 U.S. MODEL 1903 ROD BAYONET FOR EARLY M1903 ROD BAYONET MODEL - Overall excellent with about 96-98% original blue- no rust. Scarce item. $150.00 (View Picture)

12047 U.S. MODEL 1855-1870 .58 MUSKET AND .50-70 RIFLE BAYONET - WITH UNIDENTIFIED OLD SCABBARD- The same Model 1855 bayonet was used for all the M1855-1870 .58 caliber muskets and the .50-70 rifles. This is an G-VG example which will clean to excellent by removing the scattered light rust and stain with some emery cloth. Good [dot]/US/S marking on the blade, indicating manufacture at Springfield. A very nice bayonet once it is cleaned. Scabbard is an old (maybe 1880s-1890s?) made of brown leather in the general style of the Civil War scabbards, but with only three rivets which are tubular steel, not the earlier copper rivet and washer type. Body is long enough for a 20 inch blade, and in lieu of a brass tip, the tip is closed with the same type of rivet used on the frog. This model is not listed in Reilly, and my gut feeling is that it may be for one of the Rolling blocks by Remington or Whitney, or perhaps the Sharps Borchardt or something, The scabbard may be a great rarity worth a bundle to the advanced collector or nothing exciting at all. In either case, it comes free with the bayonet. $249.00 (View Picture)

11910 U.S. MODEL 1905 BAYONET (RIA 1918) WITH REPRO M1910 SCABBARD - Bayonet Made by Rock Island in 1918, serial number 352036. Walnut grip scales still have the rough turning marks. Metal parts parkerized, probably during or after WW1 when they did away with the bright blades previously used and went to darkened finishes. Very nice blade with about 90-95% finish, just a bit of scabbard wear. One tiny chip on the edge near the tip (less than 1/8"). Scabbard is excellent quality reproduction of the M1910 looking great and reducing the price significantly over one that was original. $375.00 (View Picture)

11448 UNIDENTIFIED SOCKET BAYONET CIRCA 1795-1812 - Probably American circa. Blade is 14 3/4" long and 1 inch wide at the rear, with a rudimentary flute on the face flat for about 7 1/2 inches. Point is a true point, not the "prow" or "beak" point found on the M1816 bayonets. Socket is 3 5/16" long, bored for a .69 caliber musket barrel. Shank is very heavy and flattened on the forward side, nearly flush with the front of the socket. Socket is most unusual, having a "L" mortise for a top mounted stud, and remnants of a very small bridge at the rear. However, there is another slot cut on the opposite side of the socket, and an old repair in the area where it might have connected to the mortise. Rear of socket is bent so that it will not fit on a musket right now. Only marking is number 35 stamped ahead of the mortise. A very unusual bayonet that came out of New England but with no history. $150.00 (View Picture)

10571 U.S. MODEL 1873 .45-70 TRAPDOOR BAYONET - Standard M1873 trapdoor bayonet, but someone tried to force it on another rifle leaving a small crack in the socket at the front of the locking notch, but still fits a trapdoor just fine. Lock ring is correct replacement. Looks refinished, and blade shows some waviness from abuse of some sort. Great for a reenactor or collector on a tight budget, a good representative example, but not a high condition piece for the advanced collector. (No scabbard) $75.00 (View Picture)

11004 DANISH ISSUE M5A1 BAYONET FOR M1 GARAND WITH SCABBARD - Have several. Excellent to unissued condition with maybe a few streaks of scabbard wear on the parkerized finish. No markings to identify maker or nomenclature. Scabbards are European manufactured similar to the M8A1 but with added British style belt hooks on the sides of the loop, in addition to the M1910 belt hook at the top. Some scabbards have wood grain type appearance others a pebble texture OD, with some throat pieces marked with the Danish crown and HTK. These would have been used with the Danish used M1 Garands being sold through CMP. $45.00 (View Picture)

9700 U.S. MODEL 1892 BAYONET & SCABBARD FOR KRAG RIFLES (1903 DATE) - Near excellent example with excellent walnut grips except for one dinged area on right grip. Edge of blade has been heavily (but very neatly) sharpened, and false edge a bit less neatly sharpened. A bit of staining and some light pitting at the tip, but nothing too bad. Excellent scabbard with about 96-98% blue finish remaining, but I suspect it is an old arsenal refinish. A very handsome Krag bayonet and scabbard, but sharpening and refinished scabbard make it a bit more affordable. $185.00 (View Picture)

8444 U.S. M4 (type) BAYONET FOR M1 CARBINE (KIFFE) - Standard M4 design with leather grip and plastic spacers. Blade marked KIFFE/ JAPAN/ These are Japanese manufactured circa 1960. About new condition with new M8AI scabbard (Cole III, p.107, #9) Not an official US issue bayonet, but made in Japan probably for use by their self defense forces, which were armed with the carbine, and perhaps for sale to other foreign countries, as well as for sale to the surplus market at a time when carbine bayonets were seldom found on the market. $69.00 (View Picture)

7389 RATTY RUSTY M1903 SPRINGFIELD ROD BAYONET - A relic plundered from Bannerman's Island Arsenal decades ago. Indescribably rusty and pitted and ratty. hard to find in decent condition, and even harder to find like this. A wonderful treasure for the connoisseur of rusty arms. $5.00 (View Picture)

4577  US M1861 BAYONET Standard bayonet used on the .58 caliber muskets and the later .50-70 rifles.  Has nice smooth brown patina with only a few areas of heavier rust.  If desirec, most of this could be cleaned off leaving a smmoth surface with very few areas of pitting but some staining.  Some battering at the back of the socket that a few file strokes would fix if you decided to clean it.  Ready fr display with a brown musket, or clean to go with one that is bright.  Average or a little better than these are usually found. $189.00 (View Picture)

1109x U.S. M6 Bayonets, "Demilitarized" Your tax dollars paid to have the blades torch cut about 1-2 inches ahead of the crossguard. We should all be grateful that criminals have been thus deprived of the ability to mount bayonet charges against the law-abiding citizenry. Perhaps I am mistaken and these are unfinished conversions to a rare "snub nose" version for CIA issue to clandestine groups in Iraq, or unsuccessful attempt to duplicate the folding bayonets used on Italian Carcanos. In either case, I am sure you need one for your collection. I only need one for my collection. $12.00 for both front and back pieces, not necessarily from the same bayonet. (View Picture)

U.S. Knives, Machetes, & Daggers

SMEW2123 Landers Frary & Clark (LF&C) U.S. M1917 Trench Knife. - This model was the United States first attempt at a trench warfare style fighting knife. In 1917 several designs for a new trench knife to equip U.S. troops with were submitted to the U.S. ordinance department. The design chosen was by Henry Disston & Sons. M1917 Trench Knifes were equipped with a triangular ``bayonet-style`` blade. The one piece grips were cut for finger groves and made of walnut. The knuckle-guards were stamped steel ``flanged`` or ``knobbed`` styles.

This trench knife has the ``knobbed`` style knuckle-guard with 6 wicked looking pyramid shaped knobs protruding. The cross guard is marked ``U.S. / L.F.&C./ 1917``. The blade is in very excellent condition with some slight wear. Walnut handle is excellent. Examples in excellent condition like this are getting hard to find. $350.00 (View Picture)

Scabbard is marked ``JEWELL 1918`` on the leather part and ``H.E.``, ``M.S.`` on the iron fittings. The scabbard is also in excellent condition. Excellent examples like this one, with both the knife and the scabbard are extremely rare. $595.00 (View Picture)

15331 WW2 U.S. Navy Mark I knife and scabbard- (PAL RH-35) - (Cole III, pp74-75). This is the standard PAL configuration with the aluminum pommel, parkerized blade and leather grip washers and plastic scabbard. Overall used VG-fine. Blade finish is a bit thin from honest, careful use. Needs a good cleaning and some of the minor light rust stains will probably diminish considerably. Very lightly sharpened in period of use. Scabbard also VG-fine condition. A nice example of the ubiquitous USN knife that remained in use well into the Vietnam era for shipboard personnel. While not as big or threatening looking as the Mark 2 (or KABAR) type knives, these were very practical and popular and every sailor (and officer!) who could get one was quite happy with it. $95.00 (View Picture)

14928 Lot of 3 U.S. Military machetes, with 1 scabbard - (1) Long one is a USN Mark I, Collins Legitimus made in 1944 with the scarce 26 inch blade. No scabbard. Some roughness, staining spots, etc on the blade, but these were used in jungles (and backyards…) so don’t expect them to be shiny brand new! (2) This is a U.S. marked Collins with 22 inch blade, dated 1942 WITH SCABBARD. Blade is in excellent condition, with most of the bright finish, truly exceptional for a WW2 machete. Scabbard is near excellent, but leather is dry and the M1910 belt hook has pulled through the torn loop on the back of the scabbard. Scabbard marked U.S. / MILWAUKEE SADDLERY CO. / 1942. One of the best WW2 machetes we have seen, and one of the few with the early leather scabbards that were prone to rotting away in the soggy jungles. (3) This is a copy of the typical Collins machete, with 20 inch blade and the green stained horn grips found on early Collins 1005 machetes. This one is marked with a semi=legible maker name and trademark (two lions on an arch with a downward sword between them, over two Spanish sounding names). It is marked No. 152K. Overall about good condition showing use. No scabbard. Not sure if this last one is military or not, but it comes as part of the lot. $165.00 (View Picture)

556 Collins No. 1005 Machete - This is the type believed to have been used in Spanish American War with heavy thick "bolo" blade, not light type found on WW2 machetes. Type 2 shown in Cole III, p. 36 with coco-bolo wood grips. Scabbard is type with brass throat and tip (as shown with type 3 blade). Blade shows rough forged nature, but has been heavily sharpened (be careful, it is REALLY sharp!). Tooled leather scabbard in good shape, but leather loop is badly cracked and flaking. Brass top plate on throat piece has come loose, but can be soldered (or more easily- fastened with epoxy) back in place. This general type was military issue circa 1898 until the late 1920s. $175.00 (View Picture)

14645 U.S. Model 1910 Bolo made at Springfield Armory in 1913 with correct scabbard - Intended for use as both a weapon and a tool, these were shorter and lighter than the Model 1909 Bolo or the M1904 Hospital knives. The Model 1910 is distinctive for being only made by Springfield, and also in having a scabbard catch similar to that on the M1905 bayonet to engage a small hook on the throat of the scabbard. By 1917 the scabbard catch was eliminated and huge numbers of the later M1917 version were made during WW1. Springfield only made about 59,095 of the M1910 between 1910 and 1918, and that probably includes many of the simplified version. This example made in 1913 and serial number 26833. Pommel has pleasing dull dark appearance, but is mostly a rusty patina. Blade has some roughness or light pitting but hilt retains most of its darkened finish, mixed with patina and light pitting. Attrition of these was very high during the Mexican border campaign and WW1 and we have only encountered a handful of the M1910 version over the years, and most were more heavily used than this. Scabbard has a later 1918 dated replacement cover, but the body is the scarce correct M1910 with the hook for the catch. $325.00 (View Picture)

Foreign Bayonets

**NEW ADDITION** 17086 Argentine Model 1909 Bayonet and Scabbard- NICE! - About as nice as you can find these anymore. Matching numbers on the blade and scabbard. Crest is ground (as was required by Argentine law prior to export). Scabbard has a handful of small rust spots on the back near the tip that may come off with a careful cleaning, but no guarantee. Hilt has some age stains and some rust stains, mainly on the left side of the pommel but this should clean up easily. Excellent walnut grips. Beautiful polished blade with no dings or nicks. $165.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 17057 SPANISH MODEL 1941 MAUSER BOLO BAYONET - (Janzen 177-1) Made for any of the Spanish M183, 1916 or 1943 Mauser rifles, these have the uniquely Spanish bolo shaped blade and a very heavy hilt, so they actually can be used as a bolo. Blade marked with intertwined FN over TOLEDO on one side and serial number on other side. Excellent wooden grip scales. Scabbard has a few dents but still a very nice example. These are one of the few bayonet designs that are actually much different from the hundreds of other blade type bayonets, so are a real attention getter in a collection. (Note this is the scarcer M1941 bayonet and scabbard, not the common FR8-CETME design). $50.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 17007 BRITISH PATTERN 1913 BAYONET AND SCABBARD MADE BY REMINGTON FOR THE PATTERN 1914 RIFLE - Blade is marked 1913 (the pattern), 3-17 (manufacture date) and the Remington mark in a circle. Other side has the crown/05/A inspector mark. At first glance this appears to be an excellent plus condition example, but a very careful inspection shows that it has had the finish touched up. Excellent unsanded walnut grips. Blade has most of the dull gray type finish, and the hilt and rear inch of the blade has the regulation blue finish (albeit touched up). Scabbard has excellent plus leather body, not oil soaked or all beat up. The steel tip and throat pieces have the RE mark indicating manufacture by Remington, although the metal finish appears to be touched up on these as well. Despite the touching up, this is one of the nicest examples I have seen in a long time. $195.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 16911 ITALIAN M1891/M38 FOLDER BAYONET BLADE with mounting bracket - (Janzen 122-2) This style bayonet was used on both the Model 1891 Carcano cavalry carbines and the Model 1938 Cavalry/Paratroop carbines. There are at least 9 variations if you are especially obsessed with these and need a new quest. (SeeRichard Hobbs’ “The Carcano: Italy’s Military Rifle” for the best coverage of everything related to these highly disrespected guns.) This one is the most common type, and is complete with the mounting bracket assembly to attach to the barrel. Perfect for restoring that carbine that had the bayonet removed, or for the bayonet collector who likes the folders with their mechanisms, but not complete guns. Overall excellent condition with just a few dings from being removed. $65.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 16910 ITALIAN M1891/M38 FOLDER BAYONET BLADE - (Janzen 122-2) This style bayonet was used on both the Model 1891 Carcano cavalry carbines and the Model 1938 Cavalry/Paratroop carbines. There are at least 9 variations if you are especially obsessed with these and need a new quest. (See Richard Hobbs’ “The Carcano: Italy’s Military Rifle” for the best coverage of everything related to these highly disrespected guns.) Apparently the blades are the same on all (or nearly all) of these variations. Perfect for restoring that carbine that had the bayonet removed, or for the bayonet collector who likes the folder blades but has no need for the attachment mecnahisms . Overall excellent condition with about 96-98% finish. $35.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 16909 ITALIAN M1891/M38 FOLDER BAYONET BLADE - (Janzen 122-2) This style bayonet was used on both the Model 1891 Carcano cavalry carbines and the Model 1938 Cavalry/Paratroop carbines. There are at least 9 variations if you are especially obsessed with these and need a new quest. (See Richard Hobbs’ “The Carcano: Italy’s Military Rifle” for the best coverage of everything related to these highly disrespected guns.) Apparently the blades are the same on all (or nearly all) of these variations. Perfect for restoring that carbine that had the bayonet removed, or for the bayonet collector who likes the folder blades but has no need for the attachment mechanisms . Overall excellent condition with about 90% finish which is sort of splotchy. $29.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 16905 SWISS MODEL 1911 SAWBACK PIONEER’S BAYONET AND SCABBARD - (Janzen 185-3) This was made for the Swiss Model 1911 Schmidt-Rubin carbine, and when mounted on the rifle is a most impressive sight. The sawback is a fully functional cutting tool and SHARP! The blade is much more sturdy than the usual bayonet, and can be an effective hacking tool or a deadly thrusting weapon, intended for use by pioneers and other elite units. Marked on the ricasso ELSNER / SCHWYZ and serial number 649754 on the crossguard. The blade is a dull steel gray in VG-fine condition. The metal scabbard and hilt show exposure to moisture which caused some rusting and subsequent cleaning of the hilt, but the scabbard is pretty much untouched. A formidable weapon and one sure to draw attention whenever it is displayed. $195.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 16743 SCARCE SIAMESE “PUSSY CAT” PATTERN 1907 BAYONET (aka M1920) - (Janzen 172-1; Skennerton p. 381- M15) Some 10,000 of these were made by BSA in 1920 under contract from Siam (now Thailand). Supposedly these were for the King’s elite “Wild Tiger Corps” and the rifles and bayonets both are marked with the smiling tiger sometimes called a “pussy cat” along with the serial number in Thai script. This one is numbered 4591. (Thought you might like to know that, just in case your Thai reading skills are a bit rusty). These were used in the steamy jungles of Siam, and most are in poor to horrible condition. This one is actually much better than average with excellent blade, and probably arsenal refinished long ago. The grips are a bit doggy, rotted out around the grip screws, and probably rusted and rotting where the grips press against the hilt. There is no scabbard with this one, but they were issued with the regular British leather scabbard, and when those rotted out the Siamese made crude sheet metal scabbards with the salvaged tip and throat sections brazed together. $150.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 16734 WW2 German K98k Bayonet and scabbard- NICE! - (Janzen 100-1) Officially the Model 1884/1898 Third pattern. This has the wooden grips used until mid-war when plastic grips replaced them. Made in 1943 by E. & F. Horster & Cie., Solingen, Germany as indicated by the maker code “asw” on both the blade and the scabbard. The serial numbers are mismatched, as is usually the case. Overall condition is excellent with about 97-98% original dark blue finish, and excellent grips. There is some very fine fingerprint type rust on the hilt that should clean off easily, and a few scattered specks of rust on the blued scabbard. One of the best bayonets for a K98k we have seen in a very long time. $150.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 16732 BRITISH PATTERN 1913 BAYONET for P1914 Enfield- (INDIAN VARIATION?) - (Janzen 58-2 similar) Made by Remington in May 1917 for the British Contract for Pattern 1914 rifles in .303 British caliber. (The bayonet was originally adopted for the Pattern 1913 trials rifle in .276 caliber. That rifle was abandoned and redesigned to .303 caliber at the start of World War 1 as the Pattern 1914- hence the use of a 1913 bayonet on a 1914 rifle. And, they also fit, and were used with the U.S. Model 1917 rifles provided to our Allies during World War 2.) This one is overall near excellent condition. At one point it was downgraded for “Drill Purpose” use, and the letters DP stamped on both grips and once on the crossguard. Apparently it was in service in India at some point as the tip of he blade has the false edge (on the top) sharpened for a few inches which was their custom. Janzen calls this an Indian Mark I/1, and the example he shows was so marked, but this one is not marked that way. Overall excellent condition with 95%+ dark parkerize type finish and relatively good grips. No scabbard. $125.00 (View Picture)

16714 Swedish Model 1914 Bayonet for the M1895 6.5 x 55mm Carbine - (Janzen 181-2) this is a really nice example, probably never issued, but not as well cared for in storage as we would like. The blade has nearly all the original bright polish, but also some stained spots that should polish out if they bother you, but are not rusted or pitted. The grips are great with some nice figure in one of them. No unit marks or numbers anywhere, just the EJ [anchor] AB maker marks on the blade. Hilt and rear portion of the blade retain most of the original blue. The scabbard shows no signs of wear and one side has the dark blue black finish, while the other has turned plum with some light surface rust. These bayonets are hard to find, and only fit the great little M1895 carbines- nearly all of which were altered with the SMLE style bar and stud. $145.00 (View Picture)

16713 US. Made Civil War scabbard for Austrian Lorenz bayonet - Reilly S53 “American made scabbard for imported Austrian Bayonets” noted as “…seldom encountered, with few probably having been produced during the war.” This is a pretty nice example except for the brass tip being broken off. Generally the same as the typical Civil War “Type II” scabbard, except with a longer body, and having the distinctive quadrangular shape. A regular M1855 blade will fit in it (and the tip not go past the end of the leather) but it is correct only for the widely used Austrian Lorenz bayonet. Unmarked, with some flaking on the frog and the usual minor dings and scraped on the body. $95.00 (View Picture)

16703 JAPANESE WW2 TYPE 30 BAYONET (HOOKED GUARD) WITH SCABBARD AND LEATHER FROG - (Janzen 133-1; LaBar LB-141). Made by Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, probably early in WW2. Overall fine to excellent condition with about 80-90% original bright blue finish on the blade, and much of the blue finish on the hilt and hooked crossguard, but turning to plum/patina and needing to be cleaned to remove crud and some light surface rust spots. Serial number 48549 on the butt, and according to LaBar that makes this a “Series 46” bayonet. Scabbard is about VG-Fine with most of the blue although mixes with some patina and scattered light surface rust. This comes complete with the original brown leather frog (LBF-15 or LBF-16) with three piece construction, double belt loops, two rivets, large iron buckle and leather strap. Frog shows use but overall VG-fine. The Type 30 bayonet was issued with both the 6.5mm Type 30 rifles and the 7.7mm Type 99 rifles, as well as some carbines. This is a very nice representative example of those which would have been in the field by the time of the landings on Guadalcanal, and will go with just about any WW2 Japanese rifle. Hard to find complete with the frog. $165.00 (View Picture)

16476 BRITISH PATTERN 1853 .577 ENFIELD BAYONET MADE BY HEIGHINGTON & LAWRENCE - (Skennerton B145, Janzen 45-2) Issued with the Pattern 1853 .577 caliber Enfield rifle muskets which were used by both sides in the Civil War and also later by Commonwealth forces on their Sniders. These were made in large numbers by contractors in England, France, Belgium, and even the US. This one was made by the Birmingham firm of Heighington & Lawrence, a firm among the first to be contracted for the Pattern 1853 bayonets, but apparently having difficulty meeting the full quota. Undoubtedly they later had other contracts as well. This one has the maker names clearly stamped on the face of the blade along with inspector mark crown/B/32. Blade has mostly bright polished appearance mixed with some staining and scattered light rust which does not appear to have caused any pitting, so it should clean up with some fine abrasive cloth if you want to restore it to the original bright polished appearance. The socket and shank were originally blued, and retain most of the blue finish, somewhat fading and turning plum. A good representative example for the Civil War collector, or one of the .577 Snider three band rifles as well. These are also a loose fit on US Springfield muskets. $175.00 (View Picture)

16453 Belgian Braendlin-Albini bayonet scabbard circa 1860 - Sometimes thought to be Austrian, these are well described and correctly identified in the Society of American Bayonet Collectors journal number 10 (Winter 1994). These will more or less fit most of the mid 19th century triangular bladed socket bayonets and for years they were sold by Bannerman for a pittance. This is the best condition of any I have ever seen, and deserves a good home. Markings include 4196 on the body and Q on the mouth piece. These have been found associated with Remington rolling block rifles sold to various countries, but it is uncertain if that was by the using country or a later marriage by a surplus dealer. $40.00 (View Picture)

16628 BRITISH NO. 7 MARK I (LAND) BAYONET AND SCABBARD FOR No. 4 MARK I ENFIELD AND Mk V STEN - (Janzen 62-3, Skennerton B299) With the same style blade (and crossguard) as the No 5 bayonet for the Jungle carbine, and large muzzle ring, this is sometimes mistaken for a Jungle Carbine bayonet. Actually, it was developed with the No. 4 Mark I .303 rifle in mind, but was actually adopted in January 1945 for the 9mm Mark V STEN gun, which also has the lugs machined on the muzzle of the barrel. With the socket turned down, it became a very handy knife with the crossguard being a welcome addition. In use, the crossguard hole was large enough to allow the bullet to pass through, and did not actually serve as a muzzle ring fitting over the end of the barrel. Blade marking is well struck No. 7 MK 1 and the pommel has the M47A mark of BSA (Birmingham Small Arms) Small Heath factory in Birmingham. Since this pattern of bayonet was only adopted for the Land Service (i.e.- sailors stuck with the cheap old spikes….) there is sometimes a “/L” used at the end of the pattern designation indicating it is a “Land” pattern. BSA made 100,000 out of the total 330,000 No 7 Mark I bayonets made. In 1948 it was decided that the No. 7 bayonet would be issued with the No. 4 rifles after all, but adoption of the simpler No. 9 bayonet in June 1948 put an end to production of the No. 7. This comes complete with the correct metal scabbard, usually missing as the thrifty Brits kept recycling the scabbards from older pattern bayonets since they fit the newer ones adopted after them all the way through the FN-FAL. Overall used excellent to excellent plus condition showing signs of blade cleaning/polishing which may be arsenal, or in service. The scabbard is excellent with about all of the blackened finish. This has the reddish color usually seen in the phenolic resin type grips. A necessity for every Enfield Collector, and hard to find on the collector market. Best example we have had in years. $165.00 (View Picture)

16482 Spanish Model 1893 Short Bayonet (early) - (Janzen 175-1) This is one of the early German made bayonets as delivered with the M1893 Spanish Mauser rifles which were used in the Spanish American War. This has the “hump back” profile to the top of the grip which was later made straight instead. Serial number A7762 and Spanish cross acceptance stamp on the crossguard. Walnut grip scales are fine-excellent. No maker marking on ricasso, but trance of one on the spine of the blade. Nicely cleaned so it looks great. No scabbard. $75.00 (View Picture)

16306 Austrian Model 1867 Werndl Sword Bayonet (full length) and Scabbard - (Keisling 483; Janzen 7-1 shows a shortened version) This is an extremely scarce bayonet with the original full length 22 ¾ inch Yataghan blade as most were later shortened and reused with other arms. Muzzle ring diameter is 18mm, and this has the rounded finial on the top of the ring, and a hooked quillon. Markings include GF, a double headed eagle, and an illegible series of letters. Reverse has ST. STRIBERNY in a circle. Pressed leather grips are pretty good- checkering worn smooth but not water soaked or shrunken or peeling away from the tang. Blade is unsharpened and has a thin layer of surface rust/crud/dirt that should clean off easily. Steel parts of hilt have a smooth brown patina. Button on the press latch is missing, but latch itself and the spring are fine. Leather scabbard is broken through just behind the iron tip. Another bend/ imminent break in the middle of the scabbard but not yet broken through. Tip and throat pieces are actually pretty good, so some creative work with epoxy may salvage this (or maybe not). Leather of the body is cracked and surface is about 50% flaked off. This really looks trashy in the photos, but the blade and hilt will clean up very nicely. Although the scabbard is near relic condition, these are almost always missing entirely. A scarce item for the advanced collector. $425.00 (View Picture)

16304 WW1 GERMAN MODEL 1898/05 N/A “Butcher blade” bayonet by Mauser, w/ scabbard (Kreigsmarine used!) - (Janzen 86-1) Adopted in 1905, these were first made without the flashguard on top of the grip, and the revised version was called the M1898/05 N/A “Neuer Art” (or New Type). These were made with a steel mounted leather scabbard, although a substitute steel scabbard was adopted in 1915. This example has been poorly stored and desperately needs a thorough cleaning and removal of a bit of rust to greatly improve its appearance. Ricasso marks indicate it was made by Waffenfabrik Mauser, Oberndorf am Neckar. The blade condition is excellent except for a small bit of rust along the top right edge of the spine. Most of the rest of the blade has its original bright. Spine is marked with the Crown W of Prussian Kaiser Wilhelm, and the date 1916. Grips are good, but filthy. Hilt and crossguard has some light to moderate rusting, most of which should come off quite nicely. The scabbard is basically pretty nice except for light rust on the steel mountings. The scabbard bears the unit mark: W.D. 739. The W.D. indicates issue at the Werft zu Danzig, the Imperial German navy’s base located on the Baltic near Germany’s (then) eastern border. Danzig was a major shipbuilding facility and during WW1 was the leading maker of U-boats. (Post- WW2 Danzig was made part of Poland, and it was at these same shipyards, under the Polish name Gdansk, that Lech Walesa led the revolution that helped break up the Soviet influence in the old Communist Bloc.) WW1 Imperial German Naval (Kreigsmarine) items are very hard to find, and this will be a great item once it is cleaned up. $395.00 (View Picture)

16271 INDIAN SAPPERS & MINERS SOCKET SWORD BAYONET CIRCA 1845-1860 - (Janzen 43-1 similar; Skennerton I-123 very close match) The British adopted a sword bladed socket bayonet for use on their sappers & miners carbines about 1842, and the Indian forces quickly followed. The British made versions are usually marked ENFIELD on the top edge of the blade, while Indian production was unmarked. This one has a socket 4 inches long with 25mm bore, and the reinforcing ring at the rear is not cut for a Lovell style latch. The blade is about 22.5 inches for overall length of 26.5 inches, slightly shorter than Skennerton’s I-123 or I-124. Metal is a smooth brown patina with a bit heavier rust on the socketI am 95% sure this is an authentic old example, and not a reproduction, but they have been faking all sorts of stuff in India for several decades now, so it is hard to be certain about anything. The front of the socket has very slight deformation from someone trying to force it on a barrel, but it should not prevent it fitting on a correct size barrel, and a few file strokes would fix it up. A very interesting variation of a socket bayonet design that is a real attention getter in a display. $165.00 (View Picture)

16270 BRITISH PATTERN 1907 BAYONET BY CHAPMAN WITH SCABBARD - Made by Chapman, one of the scarcer makers, with April 1917 date. A very nice example with lots of blue on the hilt and blade, turning to mostly patina at the tip with a tiny bit of very fine pitting. Sharp markings, plus unit number on the pommel. Scabbard is VG-fine but mountings need a good cleaning. A well above average example of the WW1 bayonet used with the No. 1 Mark III .303 Lee Enfield Rifles right through the end of WW2. $125.00 (View Picture)

16268 JAPANESE TYPE 30 BAYONET (FIRST PATTERN) WITH SCABBARD - (Janzen 133-1; LaBar LB-75). Made by Tokyo Arsenal prior to 1936. Overall fine to excellent condition with about 90% original bright polished finish on the blade, and about 80-90% high quality arsenal blue finish on the hilt and hooked crossguard, but this needs to be cleaned to remove crud and some light surface rust spots. Serial number 144971 on the butt, and according to LaBar that makes this a “Series 1” bayonet. Scabbard is about good with most of the blue turned to plum and patina with a few thumbprint size patches of scaly rust or pitting. The Type 30 bayonet was issued with both the 6.5mm Type 30 rifles and the 7.7mm Type 99 rifles, as well as some carbines. These early examples were made with the bright blades but later they were finished blue all over, and the bright one seem to be much less common. $125.00 (View Picture)

16266 FRENCH MODEL 1866 CHASSSEPOT BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 69-1). Fearsome 23 inch long yataghan blade and brass handle make this a very handsome piece. Markings on the top of the blade identify this as made at the Manufacture de Armes St. Etienne in July 1873. Someone has painted the blade with silver paint but it looks like that will strip off and reveal pretty good metal underneath with some staining, but overall VG or better. It looks like the edge of the blade where it was sharpest has been slightly filed, perhaps for cadet or decorative use to prevent accidents, but this is barely noticeable except upon close inspection, along with a few tiny nicks on the edge. Unpolished brass hilt has a mellow yellow shade with a few minor dings but nothing worth noting. Scabbard is overall excellent, a dull steel gray color mixed with a few rust specks and tarnish, but no dents. Bayonet number does not match that on the scabbard, which is typical for these. Overall an above average example of this flashy old bayonet. $115.00 (View Picture)

15504 British Pattern 1853 Bayonet with scabbard and frog for .577 muskets or Sniders - (Skennerton B145, Janzen 45-2) Bayonet is excellent to excellent plus with most of the original bright polished finish on the blade, and the blued socket and shank just starting to turn to plum. there are a few spots of stain/rust on the very sharp edges of the blade about 2/3 of the way down, but it is still a great ex ample. The scabbard is excellent with broad arrow and WD markings, and is the second type, adopted in 1860 with riveted fittings and seam in the back. The frog looks good at first glance, but the belt loop is torn across the top (but still displays okay), and the strap for securing the frog stud in place is missing, although the buckle is still there. Illegible markings on back of the frog. The bayonet as not scarce, although tough to find in this condition, but the scabbards are scarce, and the frogs are very seldom encountered in any condition. This came out of the UK in the 1960s. These were the mainstay of the British Army from their adoption through the end of the Snider period (since they fit the Sniders which were merely an evolved form of the P1853 rifle musket). The whole outfit complete for only $395.00 (View Picture)

15503 British pattern 1842 bayonet w sight notch - (Skennerton B139, Janzen 44-2) Overall length 21 inches and socket is 3 inches long, so nominal blade length using Reilly system would be 18 inches, but by the British measurement from tip to the shoulder it is the official 17 inch length. Socket bore about 24mm. The large collar at the rear and the wedge shaped lump engage the “Lovell’s” pattern catch to retain it on the musket. These were made in two styles, one with a notch for better sight picture, and one without. This bayonet does not have the sight notch. This bayonet has a rusty brown patina over light pitting and may clean up a little to get rid of the surface rust, but will never be better than about fair. Illegible markings on the blade. $75.00 (View Picture)

15502 British pattern 1842 bayonet w/o sight notch - (Skennerton B139, Janzen 44-2) Overall length 21 inches and socket is 3 inches long, so nominal blade length using Reilly system would be 18 inches, but by the British measurement from tip to the shoulder it is the official 17 inch length. Socket bore about 24mm. The large collar at the rear and the wedge shaped lump engage the “Lovell’s” pattern catch to retain it on the musket. These were made in two styles, one with a notch for better sight picture, and one without. This bayonet does not have the sight notch. This bayonet has a rusty brown patina over light pitting and may clean up a little to get rid of the surface rust, but will never be better than about fair. Illegible markings on the blade. $75.00 (View Picture)

15766 GERMAN 1916 ERSATZ BAYONET - (Janzen 91-2 similar) Crudely made WW1 production in local shops with many salvaged or improvised components. Similar to Janzen 91-2 except that this one has the guard made as a two piece sandwich instead of from a solid piece. Grips are two steel stampings welded and pinned together. Number 9629 on the guard. The ingenious design was made so that it would fit the German Model 1888 and 1898 Mausers, and also the French Lebel rifles, many of the latter having been captured and pressed into service by rear echelon German units. This one is complete with the correct scabbard, which is much scarcer than the bayonet itself. Scabbard is crudely made of two thin sheet steel pieces joined by a folded seam down both edges and welded at the tip with a frog stud brazed near the throat. An interesting addition to a Mauser or WW1 collection. $125.00 (View Picture)

15762 ARGENTINE MODEL 1891 BAYONET WITH SCABBARD - (Janzen 2-1). This is the most common of the Argentine Model 1891 bayonets, which were also used on some of the later M1909 rifles as well. Although Janzen speculates that the brass grips were for police or naval use, Colin Webster’s definitive study of the Argentine Mauser rifles confirms that the first 40,000 bayonet (serial numbers with A through D prefix) delivered in 1892-1893 has brass grips. The remaining 190,000 (E through W prefix) bayonet had aluminum grips, adopted as a weight reduction measure. (See Webster pages 91-97.) This one has some loss of black paint finish from about 6 inches of the scabbard at the tip and the frog stud. (Easily cleaned up and touched up with a bit of black paint if you want to.) Two small stain/rust spots on the hook, otherwise and excellent plus example. As with most of the M1891 bayonets, this has had the Argentine crest removed. However, you can see that the blade and scabbard have matching numbers M2880. $95.00 (View Picture)

15431 BRITISH PATTERN 1853 .577 ENFIELD BAYONET - (Skennerton B145, Janzen 45-2) Used by both sides in the Civil War and by later by Commonwealth forces on their Sniders. These were made in large numbers by contractors in England, France, Belgium, and even the US. This one was made in Belgium as indicated by the inspector marks crown/B/[4 A L?]. Letter "B&W" and "R.D." also on the blade. 35. Blade has mostly bright polished appearance mixed with some staining and scattered light pitting, all covered with some dried oil or grease. Socket was originally blued, but has now turned to a smooth, patina mixed with some surface rust and crud, but may clean up to reveal some blue/plum underneath. A good representative example for the Civil War collector. These are also a loose fit on US Springfield muskets. $149.00 (View Picture)

15361 Japanese Type 30 Bayonet, scabbard & Frog (trainer type) - (Janzen 134-2 is similar) (Johnson Jap Bayonets JB 177 and frog BF16) This is one of the poor quality, crudely made bayonets intended for use in training, often with inferior quality rifles suitable for drill only. (At a time when the U.S. Navy was using the wooden Parris Dunn dummy rifles Mark I and the plastic bayonets, we cannot be too critical of the Japanese measures.) This has the rounded, birds head pommel, with straight crossguard and fluted blade. The scabbard is a reasonably good quality typical metal scabbard. The frog is a flimsy affair made from a coarse cotton material with a paper core. Color of the frog is a greenish brown. (The camera managed to distort the colors to both extremes, but it is midway between the shades shown). The back of the from has damage to the belt loops, not broken entirely through, but severely weakened. The securing strap is some sort of rubberized material so I will not attempt to remove it. Bayonet has some surface rust and a burned area on the left grip. Overall say about Good for the entire rig. $95.00 (View Picture)

15308 German Model 1898/05 N/A “Butcher Blade” Bayonet & Scabbard - (Janzen 86-1) Unlike most which were made by the various blade makers at Solingen, this one was made by Mauser- Waffenfabrik Mauser, A.G. Oberndorff a/N. The crown/W /15 on the spine of the blade indicate it as made for the Prussian military of Kaiser Wilhelm in 1915. This one has suffered from poor storage, either on some WW1 battlefield, or in Bubba’s garage. The blade is pretty good but with some rust and staining. The hilt has a mix of patina and heavier rust with some pitting on the pommel. The left grip has a 1 inch chunk missing. The scabbard has two dents on the outer side near the tip, and a fair amount of blue finish mixed with patina and rust. These were the less common standard bayonet of the Germans in WW1, and by WW2 they had mostly been scrapped and the bayonets used had a shorter conventional knife blade. This needs a good cleaning and will look much better. Uncommon maker. $95.00 (View Picture)

14861 French Model 1886/1893/1916 Lebel Bayonet - (Janzen 71-3) Originally made for the Mle 1886 Lebels, these were used in various configurations right up to WW2. The earliest version has a silver colored alloy handle, and the later ones used a brass handle with a different construction. The early ones had a hooked crossguard, modified in 1916 to remove the hook. Although designed for the Lebels, these were standard for the Mannlicher-Berthier Mle 1907, 1915 and 1916 rifles. Overall condition is G-VG except the mismatched numbers on the scabbard and the scabbard having some bends and waves in it, although it fits fine. Extra long blade handy for prominent display of surrender flags, or spit for a snail BBQ. $95.00 (View Picture)

14911 RUSSIAN MODEL 1891/30 MOSIN NAGANT BAYONET - (Janzen 164-3) The standard WW2 and later era bayonet for the Mosin Nagant, with the spring loaded plunger for locking. This is an exceptionally excellent condition example of an exceptionally crudely made bayonet. Obviously made during the desperate days of WW2, by marginally capable workers with worn and badly adjusted machinery with absolutely no attention to any sort of final finishing. Good enough to stick a Kraut, I guess. Probably went directly to storage until released with the recent glut of surplus Mosin Nagants, showing just a few handling blemishes to the 99% dark blue-black finish. $35.00 (View Picture)

14463 British Pattern 1907 Bayonet for No. 1 Mark III .303 Enfields - Australian made example with typical Australian WW2 markings. One side of blade has broad arrow, the X for the bending test, and OA indicating manufacture at Orange. Other side has small 2-43 date. Pommel has Australian style unit mark D over 19170. Grips marked SLAZ 42, another Australian maker mark. Metal parts with about 60-70% blue finish remaining, but very dirty and mixed with some very light surface rust and a few patches of heavier rust on the blade. I think the blade rust will come off with a careful cleaning and look a lot better. No scabbard with this one, but priced accordingly. These were the standard bayonets for the .303 No. 1 Mark III rifles throughout WW1 and WW2. $40.00 (View Picture)

14369 M4 BAYONET FOR M1 CARBINE- MADE BY KIFFE IN JAPAN - Identical to US WW2 production except for the finish (blue instead of parkerized) and the markings (KIFFE/ JAPAN on the blade instead of initials on the guard). Used fine to excellent. A good filler at a large savings over the price of a U.S. GI bayonet. No scabbard but any of the US M8/M8A1 types will fit. $45.00 (View Picture)

13609 UNFINISHED PEABODY SWORD BAYONET BLADE (TURKISH CONTRACT) - Part of a large order by Turkey circa 1875, to be made by Providence Tool Company, along with the Peabody rifles. Shortly after production of the sword bayonets began, the order was changed and socket bayonets ordered instead. Apparently the new policy was that only NCOs would be issued the sword bayonets, while the troops would have the sockets. Unusual item in that it shows the process of manufacturing one of these. The blade is nearly at its final form, while the tank has not yet been fitted with the grips, crossguard or pommel. Finished version would have been Janzen 190-2. Overall light pitted and sort of rusty looking. Interesting oddity for the adventuresome collector. $75.00 (View Picture)

13732 P1907 BAYONETS & SCABBARDS (LOT OF 2) - One fairly nice blade marked JAC (John A Chapman, one of the less common makers) with good color and not badly sharpened. However the right grip scale is cracked and the catch button assembly is missing. Scabbard has a ratty frog and has been repaired with a splint at the tip and some electrician’s tape. Other bayonet made by EFD (Enfield) in 1915, a very common maker. Scabbard it pretty good WW1 issue with the tear drop stud, although dirty on this one. Good grips and catch assembly, but glade is a bit worn. Both will look better when cleaned up and you can fix up the Chapman using the other parts if you like. Buy the two of them cheap at only $85.00 (View Picture)

13731 Spanish Military Bolo and scabbard (circa 18901-1918?) - This features the distinctive bolo shape peculiar to Spanish edged weapons from the 1890s and lingering as late as 1969 in various bayonets, fighting knives and bolos. (That would be a neat little collecting niche all by itself- Spanish Bolo Blades!) This is in excellent plus condition with about 95% of the arsenal blue (original or refinish??) on the hilt and scabbard mounts. Blade is polished bright, but covered with a dried grease. One small fingerprint size rust spot on the right side of the blade near the tip. Blade is very hard to insert in scabbard, due to the dried greas and needs to be cleaned up and then should fit fine. Nifty thumb spring on the top of the hilt for a scabbard catch. An unusual piece. Come to think of it, Spanish military arms would be an interesting and collecting specialty, with a nice variety of rifles and edged weapons to chase, without taking out a second mortgage every time you want to buy something. I like this blade, and know you will too. $295.00 (View Picture)

12581 SPANISH MODEL 1893 MAUSER BAYONET DATED 1898 - (Janzen 175-1.c) An nice clean example of this bayonet used from 1893 until the end of WW2 with the M1893 Spanish Mausers and the later M1916 versions. Crisp etched "ARTILLERIA Fca DE TOLEDO 1898" marking on the ricasso. Grips have been replaced and metal cleaned in service, but now a pleasing dull steel gray color with faint traces of serial number on the crossguard. Blade edge has been lightly sharpened. Nice addition to a Spanish American War collection. $75.00 (View Picture)

11048 SWISS MODEL 1957 SIG BAYONET, SCABBARD & FROG - (Janzen 188-1) Exceptionally well designed weapon, made of stainless steel with a true double edged blade. Ribbed black plastic grips. Latch is unusual in that you grab both ends and slide it down, instead of pushing from one side. With black nylon type scabbard. Reportedly many were sold to Chile, and others were used by Swiss reservists. Overall VG-fine condition. $35.00 (View Picture)

12128 VERY EARLY BRITISH P1907 BAYONET- ORIGINALLY WITH HOOK QUILLON - Made at Enfield in November 1908 (EFD 11/08 markings). Hook removed, but even altered examples are scarce. Looks like it was arsenal refinished and blade given new frosty gray finish, and hilt and rear inch of blade blued. Good markings, about 90% or more of the refinish remains, except for thumbprint size areas on pommel which has rust. Good grip scales. No unit markings noted. No scabbard. $95.00 (View Picture)

11914 BRITISH NO 4. MARK II BAYONET WITH TAPERED SCABBARD AND FROG - (Janzen 60-2) Made for the No 4 Mark I SMLE rifles, this was a very cheap but efficient people sticker and camp tool. This one has the common tapered scabbard body. Frog is dated 1952. There are a mind boggling number of variations of spike bayonets and scabbards for the truly obsessed collector to chase, and Graham Priest's superb "Spirit of the Pike" is just the book to help you have hours of fun with a very affordable specialty. It will certainly amuse your spouse to see you playing with dozens of the same sort of bayonet exclaiming "They're all different!" $20.00 (View Picture)

11611 BRITISH PATTERN 1913 BAYONET FOR P14 RIFLE BY WINCHESTER WITH SCABBARD - Pretty nice example, except that there is only about 5-10% thin finish left. Not rusty or pitted, just no finish. Marked with 1913 over 1-17 and letter W. Nice markings, good walnut grip scales with the two notches for visual recognition that this will not fit the very similar Pattern 1907 bayonet for the SMLE. Very good black leather scabbard with steel tip and throat pieces. A nice representative Winchester made bayonet for your P14 rifle, and they are surprisingly hard to find. $149.00 (View Picture)

11446 TURKISH BAYONET FOR G1(FAL) RIFLE (ERSATZ TYPE) - Double ring Ersatz bayonet with scabbards. Fullered blade, straight crossguard type in excellent condition (but somewhat crudely made) with 90%+ finish intact. Since these are all rehab bayonets cobbled together from old parts they show plenty of use to the steel but were refinished after conversion to the latest configuration. The Turks have produced an incredible variety of extremely crudely made "ersatz" bayonets using salvaged parts. Besides the ones made for the boatloads of shabby old Mausers of all sorts, they made them for M1 Garands and even the latest FAL type rifles. $35.00 (View Picture)

11312 SPANISH CETME BOLO BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 177-2) Featuring the uniquely Spanish bolo blade shape, this is a cousin of the M1941 bayonet with a similar blade. Checkered plastic grips. Overall excellent condition with about 98% original dark gray parkerized typo finish. These will also fit the Mauser FR-8 rifles converted to mimic the appearance of the SETME rifles. $35.00 (View Picture)

11311 SPANISH MODEL 1941 BOLO BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 177-1) Featuring the uniquely Spanish bolo blade shape, this one has the coarsely checkered wood grips. These will fit the M1893, 1916 and 1943 Mausers, but no the "Standard Model" or the 1943 Air Force rifles which both used conventional K98 type bayonets. A fairly scarce and impressive looking bayonet to add to your collection. Overal about VG-fine condition with some staining and a few light pits here and there. $85.00 (View Picture)

11310 GERMAN WW1 "BUTCHER BLADE" BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 86-1) Officially the Model 1898/05 N/A with the flashguard on the top of the grip, short ears on the crossguard, and no sawback. This was the most widely used WW1 German bayonet. Made by Alex Coppell in Solingen. Crown/W/15 on the spine of the blade. Finish on scabbard is a mix of blue and patina with lots of small rust bubbles that may clean off, but there is a large area of pitting where the frog was, and another patch by the tip, but no significant dents. Hilt and blade are dull steel gray with staining and scattered light roughness and a small patch of pitting near the tip of the blade. Flashguard has assorted scars from use as a hammer, and there is some minor chipping at the finger grooves on the left grip scale. A good representative example of the type. $175.00 (View Picture)

11062 U.S. BAYONET M1 FOR GARAND, WITH SCABBARD- TURKISH USED? - Regular M1 bayonet by AFH which has been well used, and has about 10-20% of an old field gray-green paint job, as also found on some other Turkish bayonets. Scabbard is stamped steel type with throat piece having a stud for the scabbard catch to engage. I have seen one collector with over a dozen different bayonets used by foreign countries on the M1 rifles that we provided as lend lease or foreign military assistance. Overall G-VG. Scabbard with about 98% of the black oxide or phosphate type finish. $125.00 (View Picture)

11048 SWISS MODEL 1957 SIG BAYONET, SCABBARD & FROG - (Janzen 188-1) Exceptionally well designed weapon, made of stainless steel with a true double edged blade. Ribbed black plastic grips. Latch is unusual in that you grab both ends and slide it down, instead of pushing from one side. With black nylon type scabbard. Reportedly many were sold to Chile, and others were used by Swiss reservists. Overall VG-fine condition. $35.00 (View Picture)

11004 DANISH ISSUE M5A1 BAYONET FOR M1 GARAND WITH SCABBARD - Have several. Excellent to unissued condition with maybe a few streaks of scabbard wear on the parkerized finish. No markings to identify maker or nomenclature. Scabbards are European manufactured similar to the M8A1 but with added British style belt hooks on the sides of the loop, in addition to the M1910 belt hook at the top. Some scabbards have wood grain type appearance others a pebble texture OD, with some throat pieces marked with the Danish crown and HTK. These would have been used with the Danish used M1 Garands being sold through CMP. $45.00 (View Picture)

10818 GERMAN/ MODEL 1898/ PERUVIAN MODEL 1909 LONG BAYONET - (Janzen 156-1) In 1898 the Germans adopted the long Model 1898 bayonet with a 20 rib-back blade. Peru obtained a number of these about 1909, identical to the German Model 1898 N/A with two piece grips and no flash guard, but with their crest stamped on the base of the pommel and no German inspector marks on the blade. Maker is Simson & Co., Suhl. This example is in about good condition with the blade protected by a coat of varnish, and the grips somewhat beat up. Metal parts with some rusty patina, but covered with varnish that should be removed and cleaned up. A few lightly pitted areas on the blade. Not a common bayonet in any condition. No scabbard. $95.00 (View Picture)

10817 FRENCH MODEL 1866 CHASSEPOT BAYONET - Marked on t(Janzen 69-1)he spine of t he blade with the maker and daate "Tulle- Mars [March] 1875. These were made for the French Chassepot bolt action breech loading rifles that used a paper cartridge and a "needle" gun design. Blade is 22.5 inches long, abd about 27.5" overall. Bright finished blade is near excellent and the steel crossguard turned to patina, and a nice mellow tone to the brass grip. One ding onthe right side of the grip which has slightly bent the catch spring, but that could be corrected ifyou desired. (However, do not be like the European museum that was very proud of their work removing a bunch of dents from British shoulder scales (acquired in ferocious combat with French cavalry at Waterloo!) No scabbard. $85.00 (View Picture)

10453 BRITISH PATTERN 1913 BAYONET FOR P14 ENFIELD OR M1917 RIFLES - Used G-VG with little finish, just dull steel gray mixed with a bit of staining. Good wood grip scales but with some minor dings and chips. VG black leather scabbard with iron mountings painted black. Bayonet is marked 1913 [pattern] over 2 17 [made in Feb 1917] over REMINGTON in a circle [for the maker]. Blade has a few tiny nicks on the edge but could be dressed out with one or two file strokes if they bother you. A good representative set for the WW1 collector. $125.00 (View Picture)

10373 BRITISH PATTERN 1853/72 MARTINI HENRY SOCKET BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Skennerton B184, or Janzen 46-3 as P1853/76) Nice example of the Pattern 1853 bayonet made for use with .577 rifle muskets, and then later issued with the .577 Snider rifles, and finally having the socket bushed for issue with the .577/450 Martini-Henry rifles. This has the 18 inch blade, not the longer 22 inch blade usually found on the bayonets made specifically for the Martini Henry.. Assorted markings on the face of the blade including a 1.74 stores or conversion date. 5 over 422 on the rear f the socket. Socket and shank retain about 85% old blue finish. Blade is dull steel gray mixed with light staining and perhaps some extremely light roughness. Scabbard is typical brass mounted black leather, with broad arrow over WD on the leather. Tip of scabbard lacks rivets and appears to have been reattached using epoxy, but displays very nicely. $195.00 (View Picture)

10367 SPANISH MODEL 1941 MAUSER BOLO BAYONET - (Janzen 177-1) Made for any of the Spanish M183, 1916 or 1943 Mauser rifles, these have the uniquely Spanish bolo shaped blade and a very heavy hilt, so they actually can be used as a bolo. Blade marked with intertwined FN over TOLEDO on one side and serial number on other side. Not sure if the grip scales are wood or hard rubber type material as all exposed parts have layer of black paint or dried grease on them. Used about good. Scabbard is steel, about excellent. (Note this is the scarcer M1941 bayonet and scabbard, not the common FR8-CETME design). $49.00 (View Picture)

10261 Spanish Model 1969 Bayonet and scabbard for CETME rifle - (Janzen 177-2) A well made bayonet with the unique Spanish bolo pattern blade. Overall about mint unissued. Besides the CETME, I believe these also fit the FR8 rifle. $49.00 (View Picture)

10051 GERMAN MODEL 1898 "NEUER ART" LONG BAYONET MADE IN 1914 - (Janzen 82-2 with scabbard shown for 82-3) This is very long (25.5" overall,.20.5" blade) with the ribbed back and spear type tip. These made from 1898 to 1902 (M1898 alte art.) with one piece wooden grips. Starting in 1902 the M1898 N/A used two piece grips. This example was made by C.G. Haenel in Suhl, and has the Prussian crown/W/date on the top of the blade. About fine condition with most metal bright, some scattered minor staining, and one or two small spots where it has turned to light pitting. Good but somewhat dented grip scales. Most were issued with a steel mounted leather scabbard, which did not stand up well in trench warfare. A very small number of replacement all steel scabbards were made, and this has one of those. Scabbard is shaped to look like the leather scabbards, and finished with black enamel. About 90-95% of the enamel remains, with one area about 1" x 4" or rusting near the tip on one side. Nice example of a scarce bayonet, and a great example of the even scarcer scabbard. $395.00 (View Picture)

9704 CZECH VZ24 MAUSER BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 33-3) Short type with muzzle ring and blade edge on the upper side. Although made for the VZ24 they will fit any of the 98 Mauser types (German, Yugoslav, etc) with the bar under the end of the barrel. Overall near excellent with about 98% blue ont he scabbard and bright polished blade and hilt, and good walnut grip scales. There are some rust spots from poor storage on the upper tang between the grips and a streak of light rust on the left side of the pommel, and all but an area about 1/4" dia on the top should clean up easily. CZ log on the blade, A on the crossguard and number 1111 electric penciled on the frog stud. $45.00 (View Picture)

9634 GERMAN MODEL 1898 "NEUER ART" LONG BAYONET MADE IN 1907 - This is very long (25.5" overall,.20.5" blade) with the ribbed back and spear type tip. Those made from 1898 to 1902 (M1898 alte art.) used one piece wooden grips. Starting in 1902 the M1898 N/A used two piece grips. This example was made by V.C. Schilling in Suhl, and has the Prussian crown/W/date on the top of the blade. Vg-fine condition with most metal bright, some scattered minor staining, and just a bit of pitting around the very tip of the blade. Good but somewhat dented grip scales. These were issued with a steel mounted leather scabbard, but most (like this one) are encountered without scabbards today. $195.00 (View Picture)

9332 British Pattern 1858 or 1860 Yataghan Sword bayonet (Confederate??) - (Similar to Skennerton B153) There are a number of minor variations of these, and many were handfitted not fully interchangeable, but with a bit of filing they should work with the two band .577 Enfield muskets used during the Civil War or later Snider conversions. These were made for British military issue, and are found with assorted broad arrow and inspector markings, and others were made for Volunteer units, with less markings. Some were purchased for use by Confederate troops during the Civil War from the same makers, but seldom were any with the broad arrow markings sold for export, and the federal army also purchased lots of the Enfield style rifles and bayonets, so proving Confederate use is pretty tough. This example is unmarked, except for tiny T 44 on the base of the pommel. It has the 22.7" long Yataghan style blade, which has some staining and traces of bright finish, plus lots of very light surface rust that would easily clean off with 320 or 400 grit emery, or for a less polished look, some steel wool. The muzzle ring diameter is about 20.5mm and the hole is set almost flush with the tang, so this was made for rifles with the bayonet lug on the barrel, not the later "bar on band" types. The slot for the bayonet lug is "T" shaped, and there is no slot for a "lead" extending forward of the lug itself. The stud spring is retained by a screw, not the rivet used prior to 1858. The pressed leather grips are among the best we have ever seen, with only a small amount of flaking along the tang on the top of the left grip. Pommel also has light surface rust, but no pitting. With a gentle cleaning this will look great with very good examples of any of the .577 two band rifles or Sniders, or with a more detailed cleaning would be suitable for display with examples n exceptional condition. No scabbard. $295.00 (View Picture)

9136 BRITISH PATTERN 1907 BAYONET- SANDERSON - Made in April 1917. About 30-40% blue finish remains with typical blade finish being mostly bright. One large chip out of left grip scale, but otherwise pretty nice, although dirty. No scabbard. $55.00 (View Picture)

8377 U.S. M1917 STYLE BAYONET SCABBARD (DANISH) - Some ill-informed or crooked dealers sell these as US issue, but if you look closely you can see that the top of the throat has a second layer of metal attached which has the M1910 belt hook. This was done to British Pattern 1907 scabbards to convert them for use with US style web gear and M1917 rifles adopted as the Danish Model 1953. US M1917 scabbards does not have this extra layer. Used excellent, painted OD green with about 95% remaining. Great for reenactor. Interesting example of how military equipment often gets passed from greater powers to allies and used for many years more. $59.00 (View Picture)

8331 K98K BAYONET FROG - Used VG, no markings noted except "A" on the lower inside part of the frog. Strap for securing the handle of the bayonet was neatly cut off during period of use. I suspect that this may be a WW1 item reissued for WW2. $39.00 (View Picture)

8309 BELGIAN M1867 ALBINI-BRANLIN SOCKET BAYONET - (Janzen 15-3) for the Model 1867 and 1868 rifles, many of which went to South American countries. Fairly typical socket bayonet with 18 inch blade and 2 5/8" socket, with Slot for bayonet lug mounted onteh bottom of the barrel. Socket bore is about .655, a bit smaller than most of the 11mm barrels I checked, but it may fit something you own. A great filler for Civil War reenactors as long as you don’t have to actually put it on your rifle. Assorted seral numbers and inspector/maker marks on the socket, shank and face of the blade, with precise meaining a mystery to me. Bright finish with some staining and a touch of roughness here and there, but overall fine. Cheap history. $69.00 (View Picture)

8128 DANISH MODEL 1889 KRAG BAYONET - (Janzen 37-1) with the black leather checkered grips, not the later wooden grips. Made by Alex Copel in Solingen according to the name and scales trademark on the blade. Crown over 91 on the rudimentary guard probably indicates government acceptance in 1891. Serial number 7543 on the side of the pommel, and unit marks 25B733 on other side of pommel. A very unusual design that is a single piece of steel with grips attached on the side, a vertical catch at the rear, and no muzzle ring. Has been sharpened and somewhat over-cleaned with some light roughness and pitting remaining. Uncommon item. $95.00 (View Picture)

 5964 German M1898 Shortened Dress Bayonet - (Janzen 83-4). Originally one of the very long 1898 bayonets with the very narrow blade. Blade shortened to 12" long and scabbard to similar length. This is a real bayonet that was shortened, with steel hilt and all functioning parts, not a pot metal imitation. Blade marked W.K.&C. (William Kirschbaum & Co.) over SOLINGEN. Excellent walnut grips. All metal parts nickel plated with a few light rust freckles here and there, more so on the scabbard mountings. Overall about 98-99% nickel remains. Blade has been sharpened on the tip and on much of the cutting edge, likely a war time improvement. Scabbard apparently got wet and shrunk at some time as bayonet stops short about 1/4" inch of fully entering. Uncommon variation. $125.00 (View Picture)
