This is a nice Wilkinson ‘1907’ bayonet that has had its quillon removed on re-furbishment. The blade is stamped ‘Crown over 1907 10’17 (dating it October 1917) and ‘Wilkinson’. The production figures for 1911 were only 32,706 at ‘Enfield’, but the bayonet was also made in large quantities by ‘Wilkinsons’ and others. In ‘1913’ it was decided to remove the quillon and all further bayonets were made without the quillon and those that came in for refurbishment had it removed, (see Skennerton item B234 & B235 PAGES 186-195). The other side of the blackened blade has a broad arrow and several inspection stamps. The grips are wood, held on by two screwbolts, and are in excellent condition. The scabbard is the 2nd pattern with a teardrop frog stud. The leatherwork is in good order as is the polished brass metalwork *minor play in throat but solidly attached* The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 402.
