US Bayonets

What bayonet fits your 20th century US military rifle?   Click Here to find out.

**NEW ADDITION** 20841 U.S. Model 1905 Bayonet made by Rock Island in 1911 with early M1905 scabbard with Krag type swivel - This is a very nice example of the long Model 1905 bayonet, made by Rock Island Arsenal in 1911, one of the harder dates to find with only about 22,500 made that year. Original walnut grip scales in nice shape and about 97% of the WW1 era arsenal parkerized refinish remains. Blade not sharpened and no dings in the edge. The scabbard is the scarce early Model 1905 type with the leather covered body and blued metal throat piece with the long swivel hook similar to those used with Krag scabbards. After adoption of the Model 1910 Infantry equipment most of these early scabbard were converted by removal of the long swivel and replacement with a leather collar and M1910 belt hook. This is a pretty nice example of the scabbard, with about 60% thinning blue on the throat, about 80-90% on the swivel. Leather is nice looking despite some loss of leather on the backside at the tip. Hard to find them any better than this, and most of the early scabbards seen today are pretty trashy. $495.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 19658 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, blemished by a few minor spots of staining and llight surface rust and dried grease. A little cleaning will make this an exceptionally nice example. Remember, the M1816 muskets and bayonets were not 100% interchangeable, and a bit of hand fitting was sometimes necessary to mate a musket and bayonet. We offer a full refund (less shipping on all items) if it does not fit, so you cannot go wrong. $225.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 19657 Winchester Bayonet for M1876 and Hotchkiss Muskets - (and possibly other late Winchester musket models) (Reilly B131). Looks like a typical US M1855-1873 type except for the socket bore and the visible bulge or knob shape on the back of the shank where joins the blade. A scarce bayonet. Condition is minty with only a few specks of surface rust as seen in the photos. $295.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 19656 U.S. Model 1835/1840/1842 .69 caliber musket socket bayonet - (Reilly B78) A good representative example of the classic socket bayonet used with the Model 1835/1840 flintlock muskets and then the Model 1842 percussion versions. This was the first U.S. bayonet to use the locking ring. Only markings are U.S. on the face of the blade. Overall condition is good, with a mostly dull steel gray color mixed with staining and some light roughness. This has been lightly cleaned long ago, and it has some very light salt and pepper roughness in a few, but no pronounced pitting. It needs a good cleaning (unless you plan to display it with a musket in similar uncleaned The bridge that goes over the bayonet lug is cracked but not something that jumps out at first glance. $150.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 21646 DEMIL U.S. M7 BAYONET - What you see is what you get. A perfectly serviceable M7 bayonet made by Conetta turned into scrap metal by a government controlled idiot with a cutting torch. Obama wants all your "dangerous weapons" to look like that. A good reminder of why it is essential to be registered and to vote in every election. $10.00 (View Picture)

20890 DEMIL M5A1 BAYONET FOR M1 GARAND - What you see is what you get- One excellent condition M5A1 bayonet made by MILPAR Columbus, and thoughtfully having the blade cut off with the taxpayers’ dollars to prevent some idiot from hurting themselves. A reminder of how stupid some government programs are, or strip it for parts. $20.00 (View Picture)

20683 U.S. BAYONET SCABBARD M8A1 FOR M3 TRENCH KNIFE OR M4, M5, M6 OR M7 BAYONETS - We got a small lot of loose scabbards that came out of a military surplus sale years ago. They were repacked ready for issue, fully serviceable (photos include one of the box they came in). We opened a few and condition ranges from mint unissued to used fine to excellent with just some signs of honest wear or some specks of rust on the steel parts. Makers seem to vary from WW2 through Vietnam era. Most are still wrapped up in the kraft/foil wrapping and taped shut, so we will not open them to sort them, just ship the next one in line, so you may get a sealed one, or one we opened. The foil wrapping is sort of nasty as the box was open and pigeon poop etc and the elements has some looking less than pristine. Hard to find loose scabbards, still in government wrapping, fine to excellent condition. Price per scabbard $35.00 (View Picture)

20601 U.S. MODEL 1905/1910 SCABBARD PART - Model 1905 scabbard were made with a swivel hook similar to the Krag scabbards. In 1910 the new web gear system was adopted using hooks to attach items to the web belts. The 1905 scabbard were modified by removing the Krag style hooks and wrapping the top of the scabbard with a leather collar fitted with a belt hook. This is one of those adapter collars which was removed [by some idiot!] for unknown reasons. If you have a scabbard that needs one of thiese, this is your lucky day! The stitching was cut, but the holes are intaact. Leather is nice and supple and not oiled up. This can be attached to a scabbard body with epoxy or glue and then stitched if you like, or just glue should hold it in place. $15.00 (View Picture)

20590 WW2 M1905 16" BAYONET FOR M1903 OR M1 GARAND MADE BY ONEIDA - Bubba really screwed this one up! He took a mint unissued 16” M1905 Bayonet made by Oneida Ltd in 1943 and hit it with a power sharpened belt on the lower edge. Then, he left it in the weather (or his still overflowed) and rusted it all to heck in spots. About 30-40% parkerize remains, and the balance is surface rust with some patches of heavier rust which has probably caused pitting underneath. I suppose you could go ahead and bead blast this and reparkerize it and it would look pretty nice, but it is flat ugly right now. Oneida is the second rarest WW2 maker of the M1905 (often incorrectly called M1942) bayonets and they bring a hefty premium over those of other makers. Why did he have to mess up a really great one instead of a previously boogered blade? No scabbard. Anyway, his mistake is your gain as the value has been cut in half. $120.00 (View Picture)

20578 U.S. MODEL 1917 BAYONET BY REMINGTON - A very good example, with about 80% of the original blue finish on the hilt and excellent unsanded and unscarred walnut grip scales. However, the bled which originally has a frosty gray appearance has suffered from poor storage and now has extensive spots of staining for most of its length. The blade could be polished bright (and often were in service) or perhaps soaking in “Naval Jelly” (while carefully protecting the hilt and rear inch or the blade that is blued) would remove the staining and leave the gray finish that follows Naval Jelly use and would look about right for this application, but otherwise should NEVER be used for ANY gun related cleaning project. Still, a good representative example of the M1917 bayonet. Note that bayonets were delivered separately from the rifles, and either Winchester or Remington bayonets were issued indiscriminately with Remington, Winchester or Eddystone rifles, and also with the WW1 and WW2 trench guns which used the M1917 bayonet. $125.00 (View Picture)

20450 U.S MODEL 1905 BAYONET SA 1906 DATE- BRIGHT BLADE WITH UNMODIFIED M1905 SCABBARD - A very presentable example of the very scarce early bayonet and scabbard used with the M1903 Springfield rifles. When adopted in 1903, they had the “rod bayonet” prompting President Teddy Rooosevelt to write "I must say I think the rod bayonet about as poor an invention as I ever saw. …" This prompted the modification in 1905 to use the blade type bayonet and scabbard offered here, essentially a lengthened versin of the Krag bayonet and scabbard with the old swivel attachment. In 1910 the Army adopted the web equipment belts with eyelets, resulting in a new, simpler scabbard design, and nearly all of the Model 1905 scabbard were converted for use with the M1910 equipment by replacing the swivel attachment with a leather collar and M1910 hooks. The bayonets were made with the blades polished bright and the hilt and about ¼” of the blade blued. During WW1 bayonet finish was changed to overall dark finish either blued or mostly parkerized and older bayonets were mostly refinished. Thus we have two scarce items, the scabbard with the early style swivel attachment and a Springfield Armory made 1906 dated bayonet which still has the bright blade and blued hilt. Scabbard made at Rock Island in 1908 with good inspector markings, and the leather at the tip is in VG-fine condition, not shrunken, split or torn, and the drain eyelet is still in place. The bayonet shows signs of light sharpening during its period of use, and has some minor spots of stain on the blade. Exposed hilt area is turning a bit plum with some light surface rust that should clean up a bit. Although not a minty example, this is far above average for the scabbard condition, and it and the bayonet are just nice honest used, but not abused or boogered examples of a very hard to find scarce M1903 Springfield bayonet. $550.00 (View Picture)

20345 U.S. M1873 BAYONET FOR .45-70 "TRAPDOORS" - Excellent example with about 95-97% original blue finish, with a few assorted storage scrapes and dings and a lot of tiny light surface rust freckles that should clean off easily. Not quite minty, but close and a nice item to go with a nice, but somewhat used, trapdoor rifle. No scabbard $165.00 (View Picture)

20110 U.S. MODEL 1905 BAYONET WITH SCARCE M1905 SWIVEL SCABBARD (ATROCITY VICTIM!) - Bayonet is Springfield Armory 1908 production which still retains the blued hilt and bright blade. Lots of fine salt and pepper pitting on the blade, and some surface rust on the hilt, but overall a fair to good example that can be cleaned to look a bit better. This is the first style scabbard as made 1905-1910 with a permanently attached leather cover over the rawhide covered wooden core, and fitted with a swivel type belt hanger attachment like those used on Krag bayonets. In 1910 the new belt system was adopted and the scabbards were simplified so that a simple removable canvas cover with the curly M1910 belt hook was used over the rawhide covered wooden body. Most of the M1905 scabbards had the swivel hook removed and a leather collar placed around the top of the scabbard with the new style curly hooks, making surviving examples of the M1905 scabbard pretty rare. This scabbard was butchered by Bubba who felt compelled to cut through the leather covering just below the metal throat piece, and remove all of it below that point. While this essentially turned a several hundred dollar artifact into near junk, it does present the opportunity for someone to show how the early scabbards were constructed. At least that is the best excuse we can think of for wanting to own it. Or, someone good with leather could neatly fit a piece snugly against the bottom of the throat piece and stitched on the back or edge and restore it to pretty much correct appearance. In any case, the degraded condition makes this one a lot cheaper than normal at $295.00 (View Picture)

20105 U.S. M7 BAYONET BY BOC FOR M16 RIFLE WITH M8A1 SCABBARD - Used, excellent plus with 98% original finish, showing tiny bit of scabbard wear on the blade, but not sharpened or anything like that. Pretty minty. Bauer Ordnance Corporation delivered 1.8 million M7 bayonets in 1969, so these are the main Vietnam era maker. $45.00 (View Picture)

20345 U.S. M1873 BAYONET FOR .45-70 "TRAPDOORS" - Excellent example with about 95-97% original blue finish, with a few assorted storage scrapes and dings and a lot of tiny light surface rust freckles that should clean off easily. Not quite minty, but close and a nice item to go with a nice, but somewhat used, trapdoor rifle. No scabbard $165.00 (View Picture)

20110 U.S. MODEL 1905 BAYONET WITH SCARCE M1905 SWIVEL SCABBARD (ATROCITY VICTIM!) - Bayonet is Springfield Armory 1908 production which still retains the blued hilt and bright blade. Lots of fine salt and pepper pitting on the blade, and some surface rust on the hilt, but overall a fair to good example that can be cleaned to look a bit better.

20105 U.S. M7 BAYONET BY BOC FOR M16 RIFLE WITH M8A1 SCABBARD - Used, excellent plus with 98% original finish, showing tiny bit of scabbard wear on the blade, but not sharpened or anything like that. Pretty minty. Bauer Ordnance Corporation delivered 1.8 million M7 bayonets in 1969, so these are the main Vietnam era maker. $45.00 (View Picture)

19907 U.S. M4 BAYONET FOR M1 CARBINE- EARLY LEATHER GRIPS- UTICA- EXCELLENT - A really nice example of the M4 Bayonet for the M1 Carbines. This is original WW2 U.S. military issue, made by Utica, as indicated by the crossguard markings. This is the early production with stacked leather washers all the way, before they switched to the plastic spacers at the ends. Leather grip is in great shape, and would look better with a quick clean up and bit of shoe polish. Original finish rates about 95% with just normal wear on the edged of the pommel and crossguard and minor streaks on the blade. Only sharpening is that done at the factory. This is a far above average example, complete with equally nice M8A1 scabbard. Hard to find the early all leather handles, which are scarcer than the plastic spacer types, especially in this kind of condition. $225.00 (View Picture)

20020 U.S. M9 BAYONET FOR M16 RIFLE (EARLY PHROBIS MADE) - This is the early version of the M9 as issued to select Marine Corps and Army combat units. It is made by the original contractor, and has riccaso marking M9/ PHROBIS III/ U.S.A./ PAT. PEND. Blade has some streaking from in and out movement. Blade edge may have been very lightly sharpened in the field, but no wear on the sharpening stone. Early type scabbard with cover for stone and the straight ahead screwdriver blade. Other than that and some finish wear on the sharp corners of the crossguard, this is in really excellent condition There are about 8 or 10 variations of the M9 for the truly fanatical collector, and this is one of the early ones, and the real issue item, not some PX job made by Buck. $225.00 (View Picture)

19936 U.S. M1905 BAYONET BRIGHT BLADE (SA 1908) AND M1910 SCABBARD - Prior to WW1 the bayonets for the M1903 Springfield were made with the hilts blued and the blades polished bright, but during and after WW1 most were refinished and the blades darkened usually by Parkerizing. This is one that escaped being refinished, but, alas, has suffered from poor storage and is sort of ugly now. About 50% of the blue finish on the hilt remains. The blade has numerous splotches of staining and rust on the blade. It may be possible to remove most but some will leave pitting behind. The walnut grip scales are worn but pretty good, and have K55 stamped on the left grip, filled with red. The scabbard is well used as well, with the leather tip clearly marked BRAUER BROS. 1918. The suspension look has a period sewn repair, but is sound. Not the nicest set we have seen, but not really bad, and could be cleaned up a lot. Will display nicely with a well used rifle with 50-60% finish and lots of dings. $425.00 (View Picture)

19935 U.S. M1917 BAYONET WITH EARLY TYPE 1 SCABBARD - Bayonet is excellent with about 95% original finish, just showing normal wear on the sharp edges of the hilt. The blade has nearly all the original frosty gray finish up to the blued ricasso, although with some staining. The scabbard is the first model, with the leather body and steel tips. Using parts designed for the British Pattern 1907 scabbards made for the Pattern 1914 Rifle contracts which had a stud on the upper fitting. These were easily modified by riveting a leather flap for a M1910 belt hook to the stud. The scabbard is used good with about 50-60% of the OD paint finish, so it is much lesser condition than the bayonet. Still, a very nice example of the increasingly scarce Model 1917 bayonet and scabbard. $350.00 (View Picture)

19655 U.S. Model 1816 Bayonet for M1816 Flintlock and percussion conversion muskets - A well above average example that has been gently cleaned. Only markings are US deeply struck on the face of the blade. Some mild welding/forging flaws are visible in that area as well. This is the classic M1816 design with the flat faced blade having a small flute about half the distance from the tip, and the prow or beak point. The socket has the bridge over the slot, and the “T” slot. Overall about fine plus with a pleasing dull steel gray appearance and no pitting or patina. $195.00 (View Picture)

19654 U.S. Model 1835/1840/1842 Bayonet for M1840 Flintlock and 1842 percussion muskets. - This one was probably used by an old GAR post or other veterans group, as it has been nickel plated. Since these were finished bright anyway, the slight difference in color is not a big deal if you are just looking for a representative bayonet to put on your musket. However, if you are a GAR collector, then this is a screaming bargain! Overall G-VG condition and will look a lot better when the layer of dried crud is cleaned off. Except for the plated finish, this is totally unaltered. $150.00 (View Picture)

19660 SCARCE WW1 WOODEN FENCING MUSKET MADE AT ROCK ISLAND - Borphy’s book describes these in detail on pages 102-105, along with the other fencing equipment used to teach soldiers the techniques of bayonet fighting. Up until about 1916 the Army converted obsolete trapdoor muskets to “fencing muskets” by cutting them to the length of a M1903 Springfield, removing the sights and hammers, grinding off some other protruding parts, and filling the barrel with lead for proper weight. A bayonet was provided that attached to the barrel and had a leather covered spring steel blade with a blunt tip to avoid injury. By the outbreak of World War One, the Army had adopted a much cheaper and expendable wooden rifle for bayonet training. It was made of a thick, dense wood (similar to mahogany) roughly shaped to the outline of the M1903 rifle with fixed 16 inch bladed bayonet. Several heavy rivets reinforced the butt in two places and the crossguard area of the bayonet to prolong service life. The tip of the bayonet was covered with a padded leather ball, nearly always missing from these. Brophy shows an example marked RIA 1914 but all of the 5 or 6 I have ever seen have only had a tiny ordnance wheel inspector mark. Overall length about 60 inches. This example is about average condition with the padded leather tip missing, and assorted dings and scars. The wood has been drying out for 90 years and the buttstock has numerous age checks or cracks, but it is solid, thanks to the reinforcing rivets. Overall a mellow medium brown patina. Ordnance wheel inspector mark is present. This is a rare M1903 Springfield accessory, or a rare addition to a U.S. bayonet collection. As noted, we have only seen a handful of these, so survival rate is pretty low. $250.00 (View Picture)

19452 U.S. MODEL 1892 KRAG BAYONET & SCABBARD- 1898 DATE - This will fit any of the Krag rifles, 1892, 1896, or 1898. Although not correct, these will also fit on the M1903 Springfield and M1 Garand and modified versions were used at West Point on the cadet rifles there. This is a well above average example with a nice clean bright finish on the bayonet and about 95% original blue on the scabbard. A few small spots of surface rust on the scabbard, and the bayonet is a bit dirty, so both will look better with a gentle cleaning. The bayonet has been arsenal overhauled which included replacing the wood grips and rivets. Starting in 1899 the rivets were left rounded instead of being ground flush. The top edge of the blade has some tiny dings and the sharp edge was probably sharpened during its period of use. This is e a very nice example, and the 1898 date makes it a great representative example for a Spanish American War collection. $275.00 (View Picture)

19442 U.S. MODEL 1855 SOCKET BAYONET FOR THE .58 CALIBER MUSKETS AND .50-70 RIFLES (SLIGHTLY SHORTENED) - Probably shortened by Bannerman or one of the surplus merchants to sell with their “cadet” rifles or “Quaker rifles” popular with youth groups and military schools in the late 19th century. This is a standard M1855 bayonet and will fit all the .58 muskets and .50-70 rifles, but the blade has been shortened from 18” to 15 ¼ inches. Overall it has an old dark brown color which is a mix of patina, dried crud and possible some sort of browned finish applied by Bannerman. This could be easily polished bright if you like, or wanted to use it for living history or reenactor events, or will display nicely as a representative Civil War bayonet with a “brown gun” example of a musket. If unaltered, price would be about $50 higher, but it is a bargain at only $95.00 (View Picture)

19368 U.S. Model 1855 .58 caliber bayonet partially converted to M1873 .45-70 caliber - We have seen a number of these over the years, having the socket pressed down to the smaller diameter for use on the .45-70 rifles. However, in the process, some failed and there is a resulting crack along the lower edge of the socket. The bayonets are otherwise in excellent condition, still finished bright and needing final polishing. These should work okay on a .45-70 (maybe need a little final fitting) but are nice for display to show how the thrifty army tried to save money by altering obsolete material to meet current needs. It also explains how they got into the rod-bayonet business after the supply of Civil War surplus bayonets for conversion was exhausted. What you see is what you get. This one has a crack at the rear of the socket. $89.00 (View Picture)

19367 U.S. Model 1855 .58 caliber bayonet partially converted to M1873 .45-70 caliber - We have seen a number of these over the years, having the socket pressed down to the smaller diameter for use on the .45-70 rifles. However, in the process, some failed and there is a resulting crack along the lower edge of the socket.

558 U.S. M4 bayonet with RUBBER GRIPS - Rare variant shown in Cole III, page 108, number 17. (Also Janzen 228-1) No marks on guard. Blade has about 99% of dark parkerize finish, probably done when cast rubber grips were installed. Overall would grade as near excellent. These are a recognized variation done under U.S. military authority. Rare item. Have only ever seen two others. With M8 scabbard with M1910 belt hook added to alter to M8A1. $165.00

18389 M1873 BAYONET FOR .45-70 TRAPDOOR - A near mint unissued example that suffered from poor storage and how has a lot of surface rust spots, especially on the socket. Most should clean off but some will not, but it will look a lot better with a good cleaning. $110.00 (View Picture)

18388 U.S. M1855 BAYONET FOR .58 CALIBER SPRINGFIELDS AND SCABBARD - This is an early Civil War example of the M1855 bayonet for the M1855-M1861-M1863 .58 caliber rifle muskets, Reilly B-90. However, it lacks the expected U.S. marking on the ricasso, so you can speculate that it is a Confederate made example from the captured Harpers Ferry tooling, or made by one of the federal contractors for a state contract, etc. In any case, it is rusty with a heavy rust patina, but not as bad as a rusty dug up relic. It fits a .58 Springfield properly (albeit a bit tight from the accumulated rust in the socket). The scabbard is Reilly S-51, the type appearing in 1858 or 1859, having a dark buff leather frog and two copper rivets securing the frog. In 1861 an improved pattern with seven or eight rivets was adopted, and made in huge numbers during the Civil War. This scabbard is in well used condition with the leather fairly still and dry, and the stitching weak, but seems to be intact. The tip of the brass finial is broken off, allowing the tip of the bayonet to stick out slightly. This is a good representative “old looking” bayonet and scabbard, at an affordable price. $225.00 (View Picture)

17910 Scarce- Partially completed conversion of U.S. Model 1855 .58 caliber bayonet to fit .45-70 rifles - At the end of the Civil War the Army had hundreds of thousands of surplus bayonets for the obsolete .58 caliber rifle muskets. They continued to use some of these with the .50-70 rifles. However, when production of the Model 1873 rifles in .45-70 caliber began, the army was in a chronically underfunded struggle to cut costs. Therefore, they developed a method to compress the sockets of the surplus .58 caliber bayonets down a bit to fit on the smaller .45-70 rifles. Although some suggest that they just squeezed the sockets down, that does not allow for displacement of the metal no longer needed for the new diameter of the socket. Others have suggested, and the evidence is very strong, that the old bayonets had a narrow slit cut on he underside of the socket and then it was compressed or essentially cold forged to the diameter and when refinished would look like a new made bayonet. We have had a half dozen of these bayonets with failed seams in the socket which we believe are rejects from the alteration process due to failure of the seam to properly close up. Some are clearly previously issued bayonets, and others, like this one, seem to be nearly completed ones that were still on hand at Springfield as work in progress when production of the .58 caliber bayonets ended. Perhaps they were an unsuccessful first attempt at conversion, or rejects from the process finally adopted. In any case, here is an opportunity to add a partially completed conversion to your collection to go with your .45-70s. Overall excellent plus with original bright finish, and it looks like final work had not been completed on the mortise to fit over the front sight and the lock ring stop pin had not been installed. First one of these we have had in several years. $125.00 (View Picture)

17908 Remington made French Model 1886/93/16 Bayonet & Scabbard - (Janzen 72-1) Based on the 1886 design adopted for the revolutionary 8mm Lebel rifle, the first small caliber smokeless powder rifle adopted by any nation, this continues use of the long cruciform blade, and metal alloy handle with a silver color. However, unlike the earlier versions this has no hook on the crossguard. The Remington made bayonets are unique in that they are totally unmarked, while the French made examples are serialized on the guard and the scabbard with assorted other marks as well. Considerable uncertainty exists on exactly when these were made(during WW1, or circa 1924-32?) and in what quantity, and if the were ever accepted by the French or not. In any case this is an unissued example that has been poorly stored. The blued scabbard has turned plum mixed with patina, and the steel parts of the hilt need to be cleaned. Still a nice bayonet, but not minty as some. The scabbard has a slight bend that you have to look to see, but works fine. This is the correct bayonet for the French made Mle 1907/15 Mannlicher Berthier rifles. These turn up from time to time, but not very often. $115.00 (View Picture)

16758 U.S. Model 1905 16 inch Bayonet made by Springfield in 1913 with WW2 scabbard - Excellent plus condition, arsenal overhauled for issue in WW2. Originally made with a blued hilt and bright polished blade, this was later arsenal overhauled with a dark parkerized finish and stored in cosmoline. The walnut grips are excellent plus with the turning marks intact, but dark with cosmoline right now. Good clear markings on the blade. Exposed parts of the hilt have lots of dirt mixed in with the cosmoline and a few stray spots of white paint, but should look great when cleaned. The scabbard is the typical WW2 era plastic M3 type, this one with the throat piece bearing the USN Mark I markings, but these were interchangeable with the Army procured M3s and mixed under the same stock numbers when the supply systems were merged. Scabbard is excellent. Remember, they did not put all the weapons from WW1 into storage for collectors, but kept issuing them as long as they were standard models. A great example of a WW1 bayonet as prepared for reissue during (or maybe after) WW2. $395.00 (View Picture)

17890 U.S. MODEL 1905 BAYONET- SA 1918- NICKEL PLATED - Most nickel or chrome plated bayonets are the result of unauthorized modification at the unit level for ceremonial use (color guards, parades, etc). However, I recall reading somewhere that Springfield Armory did nickel plate some M1905 bayonets in 1918, but I cannot find that reference. This one looks like it was never polished or previously finished, but simply nickel plated when newly made. It has acquired some minor flaking or rust bubble underneath the nickel as shown on the photos, mainly on the left side of the blade. Grips are about perfect with the rough turning marks intact. I believe this to be one of the SA nickeled bayonets (if, indeed, they actually made some) but it may be a later refinish by the local VFW post. Overall near excellent, and if authentic, a very rare variation for the advanced collector. $325.00 (View Picture)

17556 Russian Model 1891 Mosin Nagant First Model Bayonet (unfinished) - Probably made by Remington, but totally unmarked. This is a rough forging that has had most of the machining operations finished, but never was drilled for the stop pin for the locking ring. It is probably left over from the canceled Czarist Russian contracts of 1917. when the Communist government installed by the October Revolution repudiated all the old Czarist contracts. An interesting example of a "work in progress”, and the importance of mutual allied support during WW1. $55.00 (View Picture)

17153 U.S. Model 1892 Bayonet for .30-40 Krag rifles- dated 1899 - Not a bad example, but needs a good cleaning, and it has some damage to the right grip. Blade has lots of spotty staining and rust specks that should mostly clean off with a bit of effort. Hilt has some light rust or patina, but no apparent pitting. Grips are about good except for a chunk about 1” x ½” broken off the right side and some notches where Bubba was counting his toes or something. Good markings US on one side and 1899 on the other. No scabbard. $110.00 (View Picture)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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 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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

SMEW1026 - U.S. M4 bayonet manufactured by Conetta. Correct U. S. Korean war vintage bayonet for the M1 Carbine with black plastic grips. Bayonet is in VG-Excellent condition, with Dark blue/black finish and crisp, clear markings. $75.00 (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

**NEW ADDITION** 20776 USN MARK 2 CAMILLUS KNIFE- WITH MK 2 SCABBARD - (Cole III, P. 87 number 16) Everyone calls these a “Kabar” but they were actually made by five or six different makers with a number of marking and handle variations for the obsessive collector to chase. The is a very nice example of the second type with the pommel pinned to the hilt, and the maker markings on the crossguard. Condition is VG-fine with some period sharpening stone removal of finish, but no nicks on the edge or filing to mess things up. The handle needs a quick cleaning and some polish and will look much nicer. The plastic Mark 2 scabbard is excellent except for some rust stains by the rivets for the suspension strap. A nice, honestly used WW2 vintage knife and scabbard. $125.00 (View Picture)

**NEW ADDITION** 20775 USN MARK I COMBAT KNIFE & LEATHER SCABBARD BY CAMILLUS - (Cole III, p. 76, number 3) Marked U.S.N. and CAMILLUS/N.Y. with black plastic butt. Excellent plus, never sharpened or used. An excellent representative example of the type of knife as carried by pilots and aircrew during WW2, as well as seagoing sailors until at least the 1980s. 2 piece leather scabbard is excellent plus also. Genuine U.S.N. issue direct from the hands of a Supply Corps officer. $95.00 (View Picture)

20616 U.S. 12" MACHETE AND SHEATH - About mint unissued. Blade stamped U.S. over ONTARIO KNIFE and has parkerized finish. Canvas sheath used nylon binding so probably dates to 1970s to present. Nice handy size. $20.00 (View Picture)

20138 UNIDENTIFIED MILITARY (?) MACHETE - Similar to the USMC machete shown in Cole Book III, page 40 from the 1938 Landing Force Manual, but not identical. Has the backward sloping point, and a very sturdy wooden handle. Blade about 14 inches long and 21 inches overall. Scabbard is a cheap canvas affair, probably made up to sell these, and not at all similar to the USMC scabbard shown in Cole. You can use it to whack weeds in the yard, clear campsites, or even slice your leg if you are not careful. While we do not know what it is, we do know the price is a bargain at only $45.00 (View Picture)

20136 U.S. “Axe, Aircraft Emergency” or “Crash Axe” - (Cole Book IV page 99; Doughboy to GI p. 191) This is a crash axe carried in World War II Army Air bombers and other types of aircraft for the crew to cut their way out of the plane in the event of a crash. The rubber handle grip is rated to 20000 volts in case the user hit a live wire while chopping out. The logo is an A with wings, indicating a manufacture by the ALUD company. The handle is in good shape, and the head has only a small amount of light surface rust and staining. The edge is in surprisingly good shape. An interesting and scarce tool with historical significance. $125.00 (View Picture)

20137 U.S. Army “Axe, Hand, Model 1910” - (Doughboy to GI p. 191) Same general design was used in WW1 and WW2 and probably much later as well. Unmarked except for US cast into the blade. Handle may be a replacement as there is no sign of OD paint, but since the paint has been removed from the head, you can just paint the whole thing. Some surface rust on the blade which should easily clean off. $25.00 (View Picture)

19516 USAF CANOPY BREAKER TOOL/KNIFE - Cole Volume IV page 99 shows an example of this scarce USAF tool/knife carried in jet fighter cockpits for emergency exit if the canopy is jammed. The butt of the handle is marked U.S and drawing number 61D4383. Has black paint type finish. Overall about 7.5” long and 1.5” diameter and pretty heavy as it is solid steel. Overall about excellent with just one tiny spot where some of the knurling got flattened from dropping on something. Scarce item. Probably Vietnam era, but not sure when these were introduced, or retired. $175.00 (View Picture)

SMEW1448 Bolo Knife U.S. Model 1917 Manufactured by Plumb of St. Louis. - Blade is in good condition with very little pitting. Ricasso is marked ``U.S. / MOD. 1917`` reverse ricasso marked ``PLUMB / ST LOUIS``. Grip scales are in excellent condition. Scabbard leather tip has some cracking but is in overall good condition. Canvas part of scabbard cover has some light stains but is in good condition with no fraying cuts or tears. $150.00 (View Picture)

19228 SPANISH AMERICAN-WW1 ERA COLLINS No. 1005 MACHETE & SCABBARD - 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 1 shown in Cole III, p. 36 with the green horn handle. “4 D” branded into the grip, but exact meaning unknown. Scabbard is type with brass throat and tip (as shown with type 1 blade) having the Collins “Legitimus” logo and two rows of scrolls. No US military marks (except maybe the 4 D??) but certainly identical type as purchased for military use. Blade has been heavily sharpened during period of use with some stray grind/file marks and has stain and some small areas of light pitting. Handles are a bit dry. Tooled leather scabbard in good shape, but the brass top plate on throat piece has come loose, which can be soldered (or more easily- fastened with epoxy) back in place. This general type was military issue circa 1898 until the late 1920s. $225.00 (View Picture)

19227 U.S.M.C. MEDICAL CORPSMAN KNIFE - UNKNOWN MAKER- WITH BOYT 45 SCABBARD- NICE! - (Cole- U.S. Military Knives, Bayonets & Machetes, Book III pages 41-43). These were used by Corpsmen for clearing brush to set up an aid station, or cutting wood for splints, opening crates of supplies, pounding in tent pegs, etc. This is a variation not shown in Cole with deep USMC marking near the middle of the blade, but no maker name, and having a natural wood colored handle. Cole No. 10 shows one with only the USMC marking, but it is near the handle, and the handle is painted green on that one. May be a rare exotic variation, or just one where the maker name stamp was omitted for some reason. Guaranteed to be original, genuine USMC WW2 item, not some repro. About mint unissued, with highly polished blade having just a few dirt spots or stains. No signs of additional sharpening, and about perfect wood grips except for a ¼” x ¾” chip at the top front of the right grip. Heavy leather scabbard marked USMC/BOYT/45 is just as nice. A really great example! $149.00 (View Picture)

19230 KELLY AXE / TRUE TEMPER BOLO OR SPLINT KNIFE FOR THE CCC - (D.E. Henry- Collins Machetes & Bowies p. 118) Henry mentions these as being similar to the Collins 1232 Bolo or Splint Knife made for the C.C.C. Apparently they were a secondary supplier and probably much scarcer than the Collins product. These were patterned after the U.S. Model 1904 Hospital Corps Knife, but made somewhat lighter (and less costly) 12 inch blade for use by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s. This one is marked TRUE TEMPER on the obverse of the blade with a very large Kelly Axe Manufacturing Company logo on the reverse. The horn used for the grips is beginning to deteriorate some, but is intact. Two thumb print size patches of pitting on the blade with some staining, but overall pretty nice for a tool that was used. Edge shows period sharpening with no nicks. A scarce example of a military item adapted for civilian use and used by the famous C.C.C. during the depression. $225.00 (View Picture)

19229 SCARCE COLLINS 1232 BOLO OR SPLINT KNIFE FOR THE CCC - (Cole IV p. 14; D.E. Henry- Collins Machetes & Bowies pp. 116-121) This was patterned after the U.S. Model 1904 Hospital Corps Knife, but made somewhat lighter (and less costly) 12 inch blade for use by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s. This one, like one mentioned by Henry is stamped CDF for the California Division of Forestry. The horn used for the grips is beginning to delaminate some, but is intact. Edge shows period sharpening and the edge has only a couple of tiny insignificant nicks. A scarce example of a military item adapted for civilian use and used by the famous CCC during the depression. $225.00 (View Picture)

19052 ASIAN (Philippine?) BOLO(?) KNIFE AND WOODEN SCABBARD - Nice quality handmade bolo(?) knife and scabbard, probably from the Philippines, or possibly somewhere else in Asia. Overall length about 14-15 inches. I believe this is a WW2 era souvenir, but possibly from Vietnam. The hand forged blade is about 11 inches long, flat on one side, and the edge is rounded over on the other side to form the sharp edge. The wooden hilt appears to be some sort of ugly animal type figure (or maybe it is a Democrat- hard to tell the difference sometimes). The wooden scabbard is well made with the outside a dark mahogany type wood and the back a lighter color wood, bound together by six braided bands of leather or sinew of some sort. Near the top of the scabbard there is a raised rib with two holes for some sort of thong type attachment to a belt. Overall this is fairly good native workmanship, not cheap-hurry up tourist trade junk, but certainly nothing that approaches fine art or skilled craftsmanship. I know there are people who collect this sort of thing and can probably narrow down where it came from, so if you have any questions, I don’t have any more answers on this one. $75.00 (View Picture)

17704 U.S. NAVY "JET PILOTS KNIFE" MADE BY CAMILLUS- circa 1962-65 - One of the iconic weapons of the Vietnam War, issued to pilots, but cumshawed (bartered or stolen) by many non-pilots as a very desirable item. Designed in 1957 by Marbles as the “U.S. Navy Air Personnel Survival Knife” this is popularly know as the “Jet Pilot’s Survival Knife”. It is a multi-purpose tool, both for utility use as a knife, a saw, or lashed to the end of a stick or life raft paddle as a spear or weapon, or as a last resort, for hand to hand combat. The heavy hexagonal pommel can be used as a hammer, and the extra heavy duty scabbard provided good protection as well as making a sharpening stone available. In some ways, this is a predecessor of the M9 bayonet which has many similar features. Of course, after Marbles designed this great item, the DOD supply weenies insisted that the specs be passed out so that they could get bids from other makers, and ultimately nearly all the production was by Ontario, Utica, MILPAR, and especially Camillus. From 1957 to 1962 these were made with a 6 inch blade, but in 1962 the blade was shortened to 5 inches. This is one of the five inch blade examples, and is marked on the ricasso. From the late 1960s onward, these were marked on the flats of the hex pommel. This one has seen a fair amount of use, and was wire brushed at some point, leaving very little original parkerized finish. Some light pitting on the left side near the tip of the blade, otherwise the metal is in nice shape (less finish.). $40.00 (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)

Foreign Bayonets

**NEW ADDITION** 21507 WW2 JAPANESE TYPE 30 BAYONET FOR TYPE 38 OR TYPE 99 RIFLE - Late production with flat sided pommel, riveted grip scales and straight crossguard. Nice blue finish on most of the blade, but hilt has some surface rust that should mostly clean off. This one was made by National Denki under Kokura supervision. No scabbard. $75.00 (View Picture)

20843 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 (combat engineers) and other elite units. Marked on the ricasso ELSNER / SCHWYZ and serial number 869928 on the crossguard. The blade retains its original bright polished finish. The hilt has some spotty rust freckles which will clean off without too much work. The metal scabbard seems to retain most of its blue finish, but has a thin coat of black paint which should clean off leaving the blue. Once the hilt is cleaned and the scabbard paint removed it will be a well above average example of a formidable weapon and one sure to draw attention whenever it is displayed. $225.00 (View Picture)

20577 AUSTRALIAN PATTERN 1907 BAYONET LITHGOW 1918 WITH SCABBARD - An average condition example great for an average condition No. 1 Mark III or III* .303 Enfield rifle. The WW1 dated Lithgow made bayonets are much harder to find than the British made examples. This needs a good cleaning. The hilt retains some blue mixed with plum and patina. Unit marks on the crossguard [3, 5 or S?].M.D. 56929. Blade retains some blue, although these were normally finished with blued hilt and bright blade. The edge has been sharpened and a false edge formed on the upper edge of the tip. This was probably done while trying to tie a kangaroo down as the grinding marks are jumpy and sloppy, but typical of nervous troops preparing for combat. Scabbard is typical black leather with steel throat piece and tip, both in need of cleaning to remove light surface rust. Price reflects its rarity but less than pristine condition. $65.00 (View Picture)

20576 SWISS MODEL 1911 SAWBACK PIONEER BAYONET WITH LEATHER SCABBARD - (Janzen 185-3) This was made for the Swiss Model 1911 Schmidt-Rubin Rubin carbine, with an impressive wicked looking saw-back blade with long sharp teeth and swelled blade tip. The bayonet was of heavier dimensions and construction than those used on the Vetterli so that it could stand up to it's intended use by pioneer troops doing construction or clearing fields of fire. This bayonet is in very good condition but needs a good cleaning to remove an accumulation of very light surface rust on the blade and hilt that should clean off easily. No cracks dents or dings in the walnut grips. The blade is marked on the ricasso with the markers name ''ELSENER/ SCHWYZ” instead of the much more common “WAFFENFABRIK NEUHAUSEN.'' This has the early transition type leather scabbard instead of the usual all steel scabbard. $195.00 (View Picture)

19889 French Model 1886/1893/1916/1935 Lebel Bayonet & Scabbard - (Janzen 71-4) 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. In 1935 they were modified by shortening to meet the regulations for use with the 7.5mm conversions (Mle 1907-15-M34 and the newly made Fusil Mle 1934). Overall condition fine to excellent. Only markings noted are an anchor, a circle J and circle M. Scannard in similar condition. The blade is still long enough for prominent display of surrender flags, or use as a spit for a snail BBQ. $125.00 (View Picture)

19888 ITALIAN MODEL 1938 FOLDING BAYONET FOR M38 CARCANO - (Janzen 125-1) Uncommon and pretty neat bayonet that folds back like an oversized jacknife. The reason the M38 Carcano rifles have the slot on the bottom of the stock is to accommodate these bayonets with the blade folded. They were issued with a metal acabbard for wear on the belt, but the scabbards are often missing, as with this one. . This one is a good example, although the metal parts have been cleaned and the blade sharpened. Left grip was cracked and poorly repaired. Top of tang marked with two unidentified marks and serial number E4531. A good representative example of a scarce WW2 Italian bayonet. $125.00 (View Picture)

19887 GERMAN Model 1884/98 BAYONET FOR WW2 K98K (NO SCABBARD) - (Janzen 100-2) Third and most common pattern with later brown composition grips with grooves. Made in 1941 by E. & F. Horster & Cie., Solingen as indicated by the 41 asw on the blade. Overall G-VG condition with about 40-50% thinning blue. A good representative example of the bayonet used by the WW2 German K98k Mauser rifles. $75.00 (View Picture)

20135 RARE SOCKET BAYONET FOR GERMAN M1871 RIFLE- USED BY JAPAN AND URUGUAY - Among the many money making innovations of surplus dealers was the alteration of surplus British Pattern 1853 socket bayonets to fit on surplus German Model 1871 Mauser rifles. The alteration was done in Belgium, and the end result sold to both Japan and Uruguay to go on the rifles they had been sold. Listed in Janzen as 244-1 as unidentified, and associated with Japanese used Model 1871, the additions and corrections at the back of the second printing correct this to identify them as being for a Uruguay contract. Ray LaBar’s superb “Bayonets of Japan” lists this as LB-32 and provides the identification that the conversion was done in Belgium, and sold to both Japan and Uruguay. He notes that these are the most common Japanese socket bayonet, and that while the rifles are Kanji marked the bayonets were not. These bayonets are instantly recognizable from the very short socket (only 2 1/8” long) and the locking ring made without any screw. This one is sort of ugly in the photos with a lot of surface rust, but I think it will clean off pretty well, although there may be some staining and maybe some minor scattered very fine pitting. A nice addition to a Japanese or South American rifle collection, and very seldom seen. $275.00 (View Picture)

20108 British Pattern 1876 Martini Henry Socket Bayonet & scabbard - (Janzen 47-1, Skennerton B187) Made for the Martini Henry .577-450 rifles. Overall excellent example, one of the nicest of this model we have seen. 22.7" long blade retains about 98% of original blue on the socket and bright finish on the blade with just a few scattered stains or rust spots. . Scabbard is the Pattern 1876 Mark II with the two rivets, and has intact seams and most of the black finish on the leather body, although some flaking and a fair amount of scuffing and scrapes are evident. Sharp markings on the face of the blade. While the bayonets are not uncommon, it is hard to find them in the better condition grades, and scabbards are usually pretty doggy, so if you have been looking for a nice set, this is it. $195.00 (View Picture)

20107 BRITISH PATTERN 1907 BAYONET & SCABBARD FOR .303 SMLE NO 1. MARK III - WW1 example made in the UK by Wilkinson Sword Company, with typical markings, but mostly illegible. Metal parts are mostly dull steel gray after a cleaning, but with staining and some light pitting. Grips are dark and oil soaked. Overall a below average bayonet. But the scabbard is a nice, fine to excellent condition WW2 Australian made example with MANGROVITE marking on the back and most of the brown finish. A cheap bayonet and scabbard set. $65.00 (View Picture)

19934 ASIAN (PHILIPPINE?) BOLO(?) KNIFE AND WOODEN SCABBARD - Nice quality handmade bolo(?) knife and scabbard, probably from the Philippines, or possibly somewhere else in Asia. Overall length about 23 inches. I believe this is a WW2 era souvenir, but possibly from Vietnam. The hand forged blade is about 18 inches long and made from a file. It is flat on one side, and the edge is wedge shaped on the other side to form the very sharp edge and it has a very sharp point. The wooden scabbard is well made of two pieces of a medium brown mahogany or monkey pod type wood, bound together by eight braided bands of leather or sinew of some sort. Near the top of the scabbard there is a raised rib with a hole for some sort of thong type attachment to a belt. Overall this is fairly good native workmanship and clearly intended for actual use as a tool/weapon, not cheap-hurry up tourist trade junk, but certainly nothing that approaches fine art or skilled craftsmanship. I know there are people who collect this sort of thing and can probably narrow down where it came from, but if you have any questions, I don’t have any more answers on this one. $110.00 (View Picture)

19653 ARGENTINE MODEL 1909 BAYONET WITH CREST INTACT AND MATCHING SCABBARD AND FROG - (Janzen 2-3) These are very hard to find with the crest as the Argentine policy was to grind off the crest. Matching numbers L6850 on the blade and scabbard. Scabbard is free from dents, and has some blue finish, but is mostly covered with thin light surface rust that should clean off leaving some of the blue. The bayonet is about good but has been stored poorly so there is light surface rust on the exposed portions of the hilt. This should clean up with minimal pitting when done. The leather frog came with this, but I am not sure of the exact model. These bayonets were used with the Argentine M1909 rifles and short rifles. $149.00 (View Picture)

19652 FRENCH M1874 GRAS BAYONET & SCABBARD- MATCHING- NAVAL MARKED- MADE BY L. DENY IN 1881 - (Janzen 70-1) Made by L. Deny in 1881 and so engraved on the spine of the blade. Matching numbers on crossguard and scabbard. Scabbard is free from dents and has lots of original blue left mixed with some surface rust that should mostly clean off. Blade has lots of the original bright polished finish but also some stained/rust spots. Good walnut grips. Some light stain and patina on the crossguard that should clean off okay. Crossguard is marked with the anchor, indicating French Naval use. A fine to excellent example, from a scarce maker, of the Gras bayonet used by the French at the height of their status as a worldwide colonial power. $175.00 (View Picture)

19356 ARGENTINE MODEL 1909 BAYONET WITH CREST INTACT AND MATCHING SCABBARD AND FROG - (Janzen 2-3) These are very hard to find with the crest as the Argentine policy was to grind off the crest. Mismatched numbers F6243 on the blade and H2740 on the scabbard. Scabbard has a large dent on the back side, but pretty nice on the front with most of the blue finish intact, but thinning. The bayonet is about fine but has been repolished, now covered with some dried grease. Fine walnut grip scales. The leather frog came with this, but I am not sure of the exact model. These bayonets were used with the Argentine M1909 rifles and short rifles. $125.00 (View Picture)

19355 ARGENTINE MODEL 1909 BAYONET WITH CREST ING SCABBARD AND FROG - (Janzen 2-3) These are very hard to find with the crest as the Argentine policy was to grind off the crest. Mismatched numbers H2620 on the blade and 507157 on the scabbard. Scabbard has several shallow dents and dings on both sides, but with most of the blue finish intact, but thinning. The bayonet is excellent with the original bright polished finish covered with some dried grease, and excellent walnut grip scales. The leather frog came with this, but I am not sure of the exact model. These bayonets were used with the Argentine M1909 rifles and short rifles. $149.00 (View Picture)

19369 BRITISH PATTERN 1907 BAYONET BY CHAPMAN- 1916 dated - Made by Chapman, one of the scarcer makers, with April 1916 date, with the early JAC markings instead of CHAPMAN. A good example with lots of blue on the hilt and blade, with the balance of the blade mostly frosty gray. Unfortunately, it has bee sharpened in the field during its period of use, leaving rather ugly grind marks on both sides. Still a good representative example of the Pattern 1907 WW1 bayonet used with the No. 1 Mark III .303 Lee Enfield Rifles right through the end of WW2. No scabbard. $89.00 (View Picture)

19354 ARGENTINE MODEL 1909 BAYONET WITH CREST INTACT AND MATCHING SCABBARD AND FROG - (Janzen 2-3) These are very hard to find with the crest as the Argentine policy was to grind off the crest. Matching numbers F9298 on the blade and scabbard. Scabbard has some surface rust where the frog attracted moisture which should clean up okay, but is about excellent elsewhere with most of the blue finish intact, but thinning. This needs a good cleaning to remove some spots of surface rust on the hilt. The blade is basically bright but somewhere along the way it picked up several spots (about thumbprint size) where there is moderate pitting, although later cleaned bright. Otherwise the blade is fine to excellent with the arsenal bright polished finish. The leather frog came with this, but I am not sure of the exact model. These bayonets were used with the Argentine M1909 rifles and short rifles. $135.00 (View Picture)

18959 Remington Rolling block socket bayonet- long blade - This is Remington’s long export model bayonet with a 21 3/8” blade and 2 5/8” socket and a bore of about .723 inch. These were sold with the rolling block rifles going to dozens of nations, but Spain and the South American countries were the most prolific users. Overall a mix of brown patina and traces of blue with some very fine roughness, which is about the same condition as most of the rolling block rifles you see today! $110.00 (View Picture)

18307 CANADIAN ROSS BAYONET GRIP SCALES- U.S. MARKED - Used excellent with sharp U.S. and ordnance bomb markings added when some 20,000 Ross rifles and their bayonets were purchased for U.S. military use during WW1. This is a pair (left and right) of walnut grip scales, complete with the attaching screws, ready to restore that bayonet that Bubba boogered up by butchering the grips. $35.00 (View Picture)

18281 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 not 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. Overall about VG-fine condition except for some rust spots on the blade and a few on the scabbard. $85.00 (View Picture)

17908 Remington made French Model 1886/93/16 Bayonet & Scabbard - (Janzen 72-1) Based on the 1886 design adopted for the revolutionary 8mm Lebel rifle, the first small caliber smokeless powder rifle adopted by any nation, this continues use of the long cruciform blade, and metal alloy handle with a silver color. However, unlike the earlier versions this has no hook on the crossguard. The Remington made bayonets are unique in that they are totally unmarked, while the French made examples are serialized on the guard and the scabbard with assorted other marks as well. Considerable uncertainty exists on exactly when these were made(during WW1, or circa 1924-32?) and in what quantity, and if the were ever accepted by the French or not. In any case this is an unissued example that has been poorly stored. The blued scabbard has turned plum mixed with patina, and the steel parts of the hilt need to be cleaned. Still a nice bayonet, but not minty as some. The scabbard has a slight bend that you have to look to see, but works fine. This is the correct bayonet for the French made Mle 1907/15 Mannlicher Berthier rifles. These turn up from time to time, but not very often. $115.00 (View Picture)

17855 COMMIE BLOC "FENCING MUSKET" - Obviously patterned after the Mosin Nagant, but then altered with a block of wood resembling an AK style magazine added to the bottom, these were used for teaching bayonet fighting. The spring loaded tip can be depressed about 4 inches into the barrel, similar to a pogo stick. This is a fairly common approach, and I have seen fencing muskets with the same concept from Sweden and England as well. The U.S. used bayonets with passed spring steel blades, and later switched to "pugil sticks". Just collecting "fencing musket variations would be neat specialty with probably several dozen variations from all over the world to chase down. These may be East German as some are marked "MODELL 4.853" which sounds German to me. Overall excellent plus condition, the best of the half dozen or so we have had over the years with virtually all the blue finish on the "barrel" and the stock exceptionally clean and free from dings. Complete with original excellent sling. Still legal in Kalifornia, but may be next on their ban list. Non-firearm, no FFL needed. $125.00 (View Picture)

17854 SWISS "FENCING MUSKET" (SIG 57 TYPE) - These were used for teaching bayonet fighting, but avoided damaging "real" rifles and bayonets in the process by using specially made cheap substitute arms. Nearly all metal construction, made of tubing and flat stock shaped to imitate the SIG 57 assault rifle in size, weight and feel with the "bayonet" permanently welded in place. This has a rubbery type butt pad or sleeve. These were painted black, and this one retains about 98-99% of the black paint finish. Some of these are pretty well beat and this is the only really great condition one we have seen. Just collecting "fencing musket variations would be neat specialty with probably several dozen variations from all over the world to chase down. $150.00 (View Picture)

17893 SWEDISH MODEL 1896 BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 180-1) Distinctive for their all steel construction and hollow tubular handle, these are exceptionally well made from the finest materials. The angled device at the back of the handle is the locking latch, a design shared only with its cousin, the Egyptian Hakim bayonet. The Model 1896 bayonet was used on the Swedish Model 1896 and 1938 Mauser rifles and also the M42 Ljungman semi-auto rifle. This is nice representative example, with unit markings on the bayonet and scabbard (mismatched) and nearly all of the original bright polished finish on the blade. Hilt finish is thinned and about 75% remains. Once very common, these are much harder to find than just a few years ago. $49.00 (View Picture)

17891 EGYPTIAN HAKIM BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 40-1) Clearly descended from the Swedish M1896 bayonet, except with traditional wooden grip scales instead of the tubular steel handle on the Swedish version. (Remember, the Egyptian made Hakim was a slightly modified version of the Swedish Ljungman rifle.) Although the blade looks to be double edged, it is only sharpened on the lower edge. Blade with about 98% original blued polished finish with one little fingertip size spot where finish is missing. Scabbard with about 95% original blue with some scratching or thinning. Hilt with about 85-90% of the blue, worn on the guard and muzzle ring. Although Hakim rifles were imported in large numbers, bayonets seem to be very scarce. First one we have had in many years, and the nicest one so far. $175.00 (View Picture)

17888 SPANISH(??) MODEL 1893 SHORT BAYONET & SCABBARD - (Janzen 175-1a) 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. However the grips have the straight top and are therefore replacements, and have been painted black. Serial number on the crossguard is illegible. Maker name Simson & Co. Suhl on the blade and an illegible mark on the top flat of the blade. Nicely cleaned and sharpened so it looks pretty good despite a bit of pitting on the blade. Scabbard of black leather with steel mounts is near excellent. $75.00 (View Picture)

17887 SPANISH MODEL 1893 SHORT BAYONET & SCABBARD DATED 1903 - (Janzen 175-1.d) An extra nice clean example of this bayonet used from 1893 until the end of WW2 with the M1893 Spanish Mausers and the later M1916 versions. Excellent markings "ARTILLERIA Fca DE TOLEDO 1903" on the ricasso. Grips have been arsenal replaced and metal cleaned and edge sharpened in service, now a pleasing dull steel gray color. Black leather scabbard with steel mounts in good condition. $95.00 (View Picture)

17885 Brazilian Model 1908 Mauser Bayonet & Scabbard - (Janzen 23-1) This is an extra nice example, with matching number 1358 on the bayonet and scabbard, and just overall near excellent in every way. These are usually pretty doggy, so it is nice to see one like this for a change. $125.00 (View Picture)

17859 German Model 1898 N/A bayonet for Gewehr 98 Mauser with scabbard - The is the “Neuer Art” with the two piece walnut grips adopted in 1902 and used until 1914 when the shorter Seitengewehr 1884/1898 became the primary issue. This example was made by C.G. Haenel in 1907 and has the crown/W indicating manufacture for the Prussians under Kaiser Wilhelm. Not unit marked. Blade is excellent with only one tiny nick on the edge, not really worth mentioning. Hilt is dull steel gray with some staining on the pommel. Walnut grip scales has a few dings but overall fine plus. Black leather scabbard is VG-fine, with tight stitching and steel fittings sowing only a bit of staining over a dull steel gray. Leather has shrunk slightly over the years so the blade stops about 1/8” short of fully seated. These bayonets are fairly scarce, and usually found without the scabbard. Nicest one of the handful of these we have ever had. $295.00 (View Picture)

17826 Remington made French Model 1886/93/16 Bayonet & Scabbard - (Janzen 72-1) Based on the 1886 design adopted for the revolutionary 8mm Lebel rifle, the first small caliber smokeless powder rifle adopted by any nation, this continues use of the long cruciform blade, and metal alloy handle with a silver color. However, unlike the earlier versions this has no hook on the crossguard. The Remington made bayonets are unique in that they are totally unmarked, while the French made examples are serialized on the guard and the scabbard with assorted other marks as well. Considerable uncertainty exists on exactly when these were made(during WW1, or circa 1924-32?) and in what quantity, and if the were ever accepted by the French or not. In any case this is an unissued example that has some rust spots o the scabbard near the tip that should clean off nicely. This is the correct bayonet for the French made Mle 1907/15 Mannlicher Berthier rifles. These turn up from time to time, but not very often. $150.00 (View Picture)

17281 GERMAN MODEL 1871 CADET BAYONET (no scabbard) - (Janzen 80-1 similar) Made by Weyersberg.Kirschbaum & Company, Solingen and so marked on the blade with both the initials and the kings head and knights head symbols. These are variants of the German Model 1871 Mauser bayonet. However, for cadet dress or for regular soldiers “walking out” in town to impress the frauleins, the service bayonets were replaced by commercially made copies that were the same general shape, but not intended for use as weapons. The blades are unsharpened, and there is no slot of catch needed to attach these to a rifle. The fancier dress bayonet often had engraving on the blades, while the less affluent soldiers or cadets ended up with the most basic patterns, like this one. The blade is basically wedge shaped with no fuller. The hilt is cast of a brass type material and the crossguard is either nickeled or case of some sort of nickel silver looking alloy. The “outside” of the grip has the grooves of the real bayonet and a dummy latch spring, but the other side is simply smooth. This one has been stored poorly and the blade is brown patina over some light roughness, and the hilt has some green corrosion. An interesting variation, although not in the best condition. $75.00 (View Picture)

17721 Turkish Model 1874 Peabody Sword Bayonet - (Janzen 190-2) This is a Yataghan style blade with pressed leather grips and steel crossguard. Unmarked except for a letter on the blade and another on the guard. It was based on the robust British sword bayonets of the 1860s, but made in the U.S. and delivered as part of the Turkish contract with the Providence Tool Company for 600,000 Peabody rifles. This bayonet is fairly scarce in the U.S. Overall condition is about good-very good. Leather grips are excellent. The blade shows some scaling or flaking and is dirty. It would look a lot better if cleaned up. $165.00 (View Picture)

17556 Russian Model 1891 Mosin Nagant First Model Bayonet (unfinished) - Probably made by Remington, but totally unmarked. This is a rough forging that has had most of the machining operations finished, but never was drilled for the stop pin for the locking ring. It is probably left over from the canceled Czarist Russian contracts of 1917. when the Communist government installed by the October Revolution repudiated all the old Czarist contracts. An interesting example of a "work in progress”, and the importance of mutual allied support during WW1. $55.00 (View Picture)

17545 FRENCH M1874 GRAS BAYONET & SCABBARD- MADE BY STEYR IN 1881 - (Janzen 70-1) Made by Steyr in 1881 and so engraved on the spine of the blade. Mismatched numbers on crossguard and scabbard. Scabbard is free from dents and has about 90-95% original blue left. Blade about perfect with original bright polished finish. Good walnut grips. Some light stain and patina on the crossguard that should clean off okay. An excellent example, from a scarce maker, of the Gras bayonet used by the French at the height of their status as a worldwide colonial power. $149.00 (View Picture)

17258 TURKISH MAUSER BAYONET MADE FROM CAPTURED BRITISH PATTERN 1907 BAYONET - Probably one gleaned from the battlefields of the disastrous Gallipoli campaign in WW1, and then converted by the Turks to fit their various Mauser style rifles. There are dozens or hundreds of variations of Turked up bayonets cobbled together from all sorts of blades and scrap iron, but this is one of the most interesting and historic types. The British markings are clearly visible on the ricasso, and the hilt is pretty much as made Pattern 1907, but the cross guard was heavily modified to fit, and a later owner filed it a bit to fit a specific rifle. The scabbard is the usual junk quality Turkish scabbard and a Mauser style leather frog. Overall good condition. Interesting item for a WW1 collection, or an Enfield or Turkish collection. $165.00 (View Picture)

16912 BRITISH PATTERN 1853/1872 SOCKET BAYONET FOR .577/450 MARTINI-HENRY RIFLE - (Janzen 46-3; Skennerton B184). This is the old .577 caliber socket bayonet with the socket bushed to work on the smaller diameter Martini barrels. About 224,000 of these conversions were done, all at Enfield between 1872 and 1879. These had the 18 inch blades, while the later Pattern 1876 bayonets made specifically for the Martini had the longer blades. This example is in excellent condition except for three spots of heavy rust about 3/8” to ½” diameter on the outer flutes. Otherwise it retains most of the old arsenal bright polished finish with just scattered minor staining or very light surface rust that should clean off easily. The socket and shank retain about 95-97% of the arsenal blue finish with just a few light specks of rust. A very nice example! $110.00 (View Picture)

16599 British Pattern 1853 bayonet scabbard (scabbard only) - (Skennerton- British & Commonwealth Bayonets p. 108) This is an excellent example of the first type made circa 1853-1860 where the tip and throat pieces were attached to the leather by a combination of punch marks in the brass and use of shellac as a glue. The brass pieces do not have the border lines added on the later variations which changed to use of rivets for attachment. Stitching is tight. Broad arrow/ BO [Board of Ordnance] / and semi-legible QOP / 30 are stamped in the leather body below the frog stud. We have seen a number of the later types but this is the first of the early ones, and condition is a nice as the best of the later ones. $95.00 (View Picture)

15441 BRITISH PATTERN 1888 MODIFIED TO PATTERN 1903 BAYONET - (Janzen 57-1) The Pattern 1903 bayonet was made for the Short Magazine Lee Enfield when it was introduced, using the same blade form that had been used since 1888 on the earlier long Lee-Metford and Lee-Enfield rifles. However, the old infantry desire to keep the same “reach” as before resulted in adopting the Pattern 1907 Bayonet in 1907 with the longer blade to compensate for the shorter rifle length. Relatively few P1903 bayonets were newly made as there were large numbers of the old Pattern 1888 bayonets which could have the pommels replaced to meet the new pattern at very low costs. This one was made in September 1901 as a Pattern 1888, and later modified to Pattern 1903 and the new designation struck on the ricasso, almost obliterating the 9 1 manufacture date. Right side of the pommel has unit mark 357 over C.P.B over a lilned out 700. Most of these bayonets show “bite marks” about two inches down from the guard, where they rubbed against the tension spring in the throat of the scabbard but the blade of this one was cleaned up and reblued during an arsenal overhaul leaving only traces of that. About 60% of an old blue finish remains, which would be correct for this model, but I suspect it has been touched up. Good grips. No Scabbard. $75.00 (View Picture)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)
