Title Bayonet for the short Lee Enfield, model 1907
Nationality British
Period c 1907
Sold

This is marked on the pommel '8 S F // 922' for 8th Bn Royal Scots Fusiliers, which went to France in Sept 1915, Salonica in Nov 1915, Turkey in Nov 1918 and finally the Caucasus is Jan 1919. It is the modified form with the quillon removed and was the standard bayonet for the 1903 model short Lee Enfield rifle.


This bayonet has been somewhat overcleaned, but it has its original brown leather scabbard with barely visible issue stamps on the leatherwork. The blade is nicely marked Enfield and issue dated July 1915. It has a clean set of walnut grips.

Just a short note to let you know that I have collected the Police fur cap this morning from the Post Office. I am really happy with it, and for sure I will give a thumbs-up to your service. This was the first item I ever bought from you, and I hope it will not be the last.
