Title Long Lee-Enfield bayonet, model 1888
Nationality British
Period c 1890
Sold

This has been carefully hand cleaned at some stage, but has all its original markings, including an issue stamp for 1901 and the maker's mark 'SANDERSON SHEFFIELD'. The grips are walnut and the scabbard leather is in good shape. The classic English bayonet for the Boer War and the early years of the Great War.

testimonials

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!

I am more and more pleased with the sword, and am wondering whether to do an article on it...
