Siamese Contract Pattern 1907 Bayonet and Scabbard. Bayo 185 - Bayo 185

This is one of the 10,000 S.M.L.E. Rifles and Bayonets contract for Siam in 1920 from B.S.A. The bayonets were merely ex-service models, re-finished and stamped with the 'Wild Tiger Corps' emblem and script which includes the Rifle number. This bayonet has slab wood grips secured with two screw bolts. The pommel has a push release button which operates a it should. The ricasso is stamped with the 'Wild Tiger' emblem and symbols on one side and inspection marks on the other. The polished steel blade is in very good condition and is fullered. Most scabbards had the leather bodies replaced with sheet steel and the locket and chape brazed back on again as this one has. This is a scarce bayonet, (see Skennerton's bayonet book, item M13 page 381). The price includes UK delivery. Bayo 185
