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.

Found the item a little on the expensive side and a bit disappointed that you were unwilling to bend a bit on the price of the Officer's Tunic Eagle (half the fun of buying, after all, is the haggling), but impressed by the speed of delivery and the quality of the item. Was well worth it in the long run...
