The London Scottish was a reserve infantry regiment then a company of the British Army. The Regiment was mobilized on the outbreak of war, departing for France on 15 September 1914. On 31 October 1914 elements of the London Scottish encountered German forces at Messines in Belgium, the first territorial unit to do so – a memorial stands on the site. This is an excellent WW1 dated Pattern 1907 bayonet by Sanderson Sheffield (see Skennerton item B235 pages 186-195). One side of the blade carries the King’s crown over G.R. (George Rex) and 1907 (pattern) together with ‘7 15 date (July 1915) and Sanderson (manufacturer). The reverse has the WD broad arrow & inspection stamps. The pommel is Regiment marked ‘T’ (Territorial) ‘2’ (2nd Battalion) ‘LS’ (London Scottish) and has weapon number ‘601’. The original wood grips are secured by the correct screw bolts. The original leather scabbard has the correct steel locket with frog stud and steel chape. The leather has matching ’15 (1915 date) and WD inspection marks. All leather and stitching are clean and intact. The price includes U.K. delivery. BAYO 443 (box 3)
