Rare* British Experimental Bayonet, For The Farquhar-Hill Automatic Rifle. Sn 10880:39. Bayonets

A British Experimental Bayonet for the Farquhar-Hill Rifle (no scabbard). These bayonets were made by shortening an existing 1097 pattern bayonet and re-shaping the tip for the trials in 1924 but very few were done at the time. We believe to be a later conversion and would still fill a gap in any serious British collection. The bayonet is a shortened 1907 pattern bayonet. It has a single edge blade with fullers that reach the tip. The tip is shaped. It has a straight cross guard with muzzle ring. The ricasso is stamped on one side with the War Department 'Crows Foot' and inspection marks and on the other it has "1907 8 15 Remington", (August 1915). The bayonet has slab wood grips and they are secured with two screw bolts. The pommel has a push button release. The bayonet has a 7 ½ " blade and is 12 ½ " overall. It has no scabbard. (see page 203 in Skennerton's British & Commonwealth Bayonets Book). The price includes UK delivery. Sn 10880:39.
