British Pattern 1887 MK III Sword bayonet & Scabbard Bayonet

British Pattern 1887 MK III Sword bayonet & Scabbard. BAYO 579 - BAYO 579

This bayonet is the MK III pattern of 1887 with no fullers to the blade. There is no makers name on the blade, only a crowned VR over /88 plus inspection stamps and a W.D. arrow. The backstrap also carries an inspection stamp. The bayonet was probably made by Enfield but no name appears on the blade. Wilkinson clearly stamped their blades and there were on other producers. The polished steel blade is in very good condition and measures 18 1/4" long. The grips are secured with two steel rivets. The pommel has a push button release. The bayonet is complete with a steel mounted scabbard which is unmarked. Please see Skennerton's Bayonet Book, Pages 162 and 163 item B207. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 579
