British Pattern 1907 Wilkinson made bayonet with scabbard dated 1917 **SOLD**
This is a Pattern 1907 bayonet for use with the Lee-Enfield rifle no1 mk3 or 3*, better known as the SMLE. This example has a parkarised steel blade and blacked ricasso with very good unsharpened blade and point. Clear details on the ricasso show a date of 9 17, the Royal Cypher and Wilkinson as the maker. The other side shows the usual inspection, bend test and broad arrow marks, and re-acceptance in '28. Very good wooden grips on both sides, and good release button. The oval-stud early brown leather scabbard is in very good condition, all stitching intact to the leather, RE maker-marked throat and chape retaining some of the original finish. A lovely piece of history to compliment any SMLE.
