Description

The 1907 bayonet was designed to be used with the short magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) rifle. This particular pattern 1907 bayonet has the hook quillon removed, a modification officially approved on October 29th, 1913.

The dark brown wooden grips are in good condition, showing minimal wear and held in place by two screw bolts. The upper hilt features a functional spring loaded rifle catch but does show pitting to the metal.
The blade measures 17inches, has been neatly sharpened and is overall in good condition, with only some small patches of surface rust in places. The blade has markings on both sides of the ricasso, including “1907” and makers name “Sanderson”.

The leather scabbard is in good condition with all its stitching intact. Both scabbard fittings show heavy pitting to the metal but are undented and have the original staples present.
The blade fits the scabbard perfectly.
