Pattern-1907 Bayonets.

Post by TomcatPC »

Here are a few British Pattern-1907 Bayonets, these were used with the Short Magazine Lee Enfield Rifle (S.M.L.E.,a.k.a. after 1926 the No. 1 Mk. III or Mk. III* Rifle).

The top bayonet is Sanderson made bayonet, can't tell the year it was made, but it has been converted for Drill Purpose (marked DP and tip rounded). I bought this bayonet for $7 (US), it was a chunk of corrosion, with no grips, etc. Little by little I did my best to salvage it.

The middle is also a Sanderson made bayonet, this one was made in 1917, and has 1942 dated Australian made grips replacing the originals.

The bayonet on the bottom is a Wilkinson made bayonet, that has been cut-down to a 12" blade whilst on service in India. The scabbard with the India Pattern bayonet is a new reproduction. All of the bayonet frogs are Pattern-1937 versions.
