Well marked with ordnance inspector stamp and makers name. 3 inch socket with a 17 inch blade.

#659
– A scarce P1863 Whitworth sword bayonet. This example is significant in so far as it is one of the 9,000 actually issued. The vast majority of
Whitworth bayonets I’ve see over the years bear only the crowned V.R, and Enfield inspectors stamps. In addition, this piece has regimental
affiliation. The crossguard is stamped 2.60.341 (2nd. Bn. 60th Rifles, weapon nbr. 341). Well worth further research. Light pitting overall, as
usually associated with salt-air exposure (West Indies station?). Grips worn, and slightly AF. The metal has a rich, dark patina overall.

– A very scarce P1858 ‘bar-on-band’ Enfield sword bayonet, bushed for the Martini Henry. Compared with bar-on-barrel yataghan bayonets, relatively
few were made for the bar-on-band configuration of the P1858 Enfield Short Rifle. Even fewer were converted by bushing the muzzle ring to fit the
Martini Henry rifle. Very light pitting overall, well marked with maker’s name Chavasse, and ordnance inspector’s stamps. Complete with
steel mounted, black leather scabbard, slightly a/f with crease in the leather.

#195
– A scarce cutlass blade sword bayonet, described in British & Commonwealth Bayonets as : “a Volunteer Naval Sword bayonet – does not have the traditional cutlass guard,
so the criteria for belonging to this group (of cutlass bayonets) is the cutlass blade.” Some examples will be found with evidence of the bowl guard removed, other
purpose made without evidence of modification, such as this one. Makers mark impressed on the ricasso, Carl Klonne of Solingen. Klonne was contracted to produce 1,000
cutlass bayonets for the British Government. Complete with steel mounted, black leather scabbard. Hilt and scabbard mounts painted black.
