ITEM : BC314 -
British Lee-Metford 1888 Mk1 ( Match
)
This bayonet was manufactured for the British Lee Metford rifle and was
produced in two patterns, this example being the second. The
first pattern utilised three brass rivets for retaining the grip
plates. The blade is un-fullered and is stamped with the broad
arrow and several accountability numbers as is the scabbard. A
clean example showing minor pitting to some areas of the hilt
fittings, the leather based scabbard is excellent.
