Lot Details

This British Pattern 1913 Mk 1 sword bayonet for the Pattern 1914 rifle is in fantastic condition. The P1913 bayonet was officially introduced into British service on the 21st of June 1916 and was made under contract in the USA by Remington and Winchester. The blued ricasso is stamped with the pattern date of 1913, the production date of ‘11’16 (November 1916) and the Remington maker’s mark. The obverse ricasso bears an American based British inspection stamp, a British inspection mark, broad arrow and bend test X. The bayonet is complete with its leather scabbard with teardrop frog stud. The scabbard is in very good condition. The locket and chape retain their original finish. The leather is firm and undamaged with its original finish and the stitching is intact and strong. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard. This is a fantastic example of the WW1 Remington made P1913 bayonet.
