So, my wife is away from the house this weekend leaving me with the dog and - thank God - RU-vid for the weekend…! One of your videos made me buy a beautyful British 1907 bayonet. Now, I did it again, and the only difference between the two is the shape of the stud on the front of the bayonet: Round vs. teardrop shaped. Your videos are the best…! Thank you (again) from Tino, 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰 😊
Very informative video thank you very much. I have just found a bayonet while digging footers in my backyard. I am still trying to identify it. But pretty sure its a Pattern 1907. Very rusted blade after I removed from leather sheth. I can almost make out a 1907 in center and a 20 in the bottom right. It almost looks like there is chipping black paint along the blade. I have wrapped rusted metal areas in vinigar to see if it will desolve.
I have a lot of variations, including 2 of the original pattern with quillon. I have specimens from various manufacturers, from Britain, Australia and RFI Ishapore.
A frog, from memory the name started in Portugal and means something in portuguese like belt attachment or something. It'd been a few years since I read that so don't take it as gospel though
I have a 1907 bayonet. It has the markings Crown, GR 5 18 WILKINSON PALLMALL? on the reverse it has the X & government marks. On the grip is has carved initials J S. Is this bayonet valuable?
G'day. I know the 'AUSTRALIA' stamped on the grip scale is accepted as a modern US import requirement. However, this 1910 Australian Sanderson in front of me, under microscope examination, has detritus in the bottom of the stamped letters that is identical to that evident in the other period scratches and dents present. This would suggest the 'AUSTRALIA' stamp is period?? Regards.
@@pointynotsharp8436 And here lyeth the problem! This black, nodular micro-crud is also lodged deeply in gaps and crevices. So far, can't find anything similar in more recent 1907s. The other approach is where did the US import requirement originate from?
Hey love your videos. I have a 1907 bayonet but cannot for the life of me figure out the reg markings on the pommel, it’s as below T 5 R.NORF. 632 Can you please help haha
Hi, I just found you as I have two bayonets, passed down to me. My gf teacher friend asked me if she could use them as part of a history project, I've had these all my life and I'm embarrsed as i know nothing about them, one is a french label (tks for that) I'm not sure about the other one, it looks very generic. If i take some pics, etc, would you be able to fill in some gaps. Tks in advance. Nick.
