Excellent/WWI British ‘P13’ Mk1 Parade Sword Bayonet and Grafton & Knight Scabbard. 22426:7 Bayonet

This is a fine example of the ‘P13’ bayonet which has been polished for parade, which although the designated ‘P13’, fit the ‘P14’ rifle and was not introduced until ‘1916’. It is marked to the blade with ‘1913’ and ‘Remington’ in a circle. The other side of the blade carries British inspection stamps cancelled by the slashes with U.S. below. The vast majority of these bayonets were made in America by ‘Remington and Winchester’ with only a few made in England by ‘Vickers’. The wooden grips have two grooves on either side to distinguish it from the ‘P1907’. The scabbard is also an American made version M3 green U.S. belt fittings with steel locket and chape, interchangeable with the ‘P’07’. The leather stitching and furniture on the scabbard are all in good condition and has been chromed presumably for parade/dress purposes. The Scabbard has a makers mark GF & GK (Grafton and Knight) to the rear. A very nice collectable ‘1913’ bayonet. See Watts & White item No 826, pages 325-395. The price includes UK delivery. 22426:7
