Description

Here we have a rare Vintage British SMLE Enfield Pre WWI 1907 Bayonet that is dated 1907. This first year bayonet was made and is marked Chapman. Blade is about 16 3/4 inch long. Looks to have been lightly sharpened using a file. Is also marked GRE in several places which stands King Edward and was only used from 1901-1910…also has more marking , please see my photos. This early bayonet most likely started out with a hooked quilion but like most was modified by removing it also had the pommel clean out hole was drilled. Scales are not cracked or repaired but are worn some. Again see my photos. Catch works fine. Scabbard is very good at least. Metal is brown but not pitted, leather is fine as is the stitching …an unusual early example of a classic bayonet…starting auction off low with no reserve and actual postage charged depending on where you live ( weighs 2 lb boxed to ship)
