WWII British No5 MkI Bayonet and No5 MkI Scabbard by Wilkinson. 21543. Bayonets

This is a very good wartime No5 bayonet by Wilkinson (When Henry Nock died in 1804, he left the company to his foreman and adopted son-in-law, James Wilkinson when James's son Henry Wilkinson joined the company it was renamed James Wilkinson & Son (also known as simply Wilkinson & Son). It became the Wilkinson Sword Company in 1891) and carries their wartime code of ‘S294 & W.S.C’ to the blade which is in good polished condition. The blade, metalwork and grips are in excellent order- the grips have minor signs of use related wear *see images*. See Skennerton item B293 pages 238 & 241. The scabbard is the early No5 MkI with steel mouthpiece and is virtually unmarked retaining the majority of its paint. A lovely WWII example in excellent condition, the price includes UK delivery. 21543.
