WW1 1915 Pattern 1907 Sword Bayonet By Wilkinson Sword With Leather Scabbard.

A fine example of a WW1 Pattern 1907 sword bayonet by the Wilkinson Sword Company for use with the Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) rifle.  The bayonet is in excellent antique condition with the locking button functional.

Marks (left ricasso) : Crown and "G.R." (George Rex - King George) over "1907" (pattern model) over "1" and "15" (manufacture date - January, 1915) over "Wilkinson" (manufacturer).

Marks (right ricasso) : War Office broad arrow and "X" (bend test stamp) with a number of Enfield inspection stamps.

Scabbard : Double-stitched black leather with steel top-mount and chape.  The top-mount has the teardrop-shaped button.  The scabbard is stamped "J.W.B. 17".  Assuming the "17" is a date (1917), this would be unusual as the teardrop buttons were not produced after 1915.  It's possible that the scabbard was stamped at a later date but I believe it's more likely that it was manufactured in 1917 using an earlier, repurposed teardrop top-mount.  The bayonet inserts and withdraws smoothly.

Length (bayonet) : 55 cm

Length (blade) : 43 cm
