WWI British ‘P13’ Sword, Bayonet and Scabbard and Dated M.E.Co Webbing Frog. 11523:5 Bayonet

This is a great example of the ‘P13’ bayonet, which although designated ‘P13’, fit the ‘P14’ rifle and was not introduced until ‘1916’. It is marked to the blade with ‘1913’ over ‘11’16’ (November 1916) and a ‘W’ for Winchester. The other side of the blade carries British inspection stamps- bend mark and Broad Arrow etc. The blade is in good condition and only showing minor signs of wear. The pommel is marked to one side ‘ TR 556’. 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 are stamped ‘775’ to one side and have two grooves on either side to distinguish it from the ‘P1907’ the wood is in good undamaged condition. The scabbard is also an American made version with steel locket and chape, interchangeable with the ‘P’07’. The leather stitching and furniture on the scabbard are all in good condition. The webbing frog is intact and is marked M.E.Co (Mills Equipment Company) 1943 with Broad Arrow. A very nice collectable ‘1913’ bayonet scabbard and Mills frog in very good used condition. See ‘Skennerton’ item B239, pages 192-194. The price includes U.K. delivery. 11523:5.
