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

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

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)
