Nkumburis Posted February 3, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 3, 2017 Good Evening, I was going through an old house today and found this bayonet. It has a wood grip and is about 15 inches long. First off, can anyone help me identify it? Second, its pretty rusty as the pictures show, does anyone know how I could clean it? I'm looking forward to your comments, thank you! - Nick K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tthen Posted February 3, 2017 Share #4 Posted February 3, 2017 Looks like a British Enfield bayonet for the 1907 No1 MkIII. If there is no fuller it my be Ishpore mfg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John762 Posted February 3, 2017 Share #5 Posted February 3, 2017 Model 1917 for the Enfield design is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porterkids Posted February 3, 2017 Share #6 Posted February 3, 2017 Not a Model 1917, they have a higher muzzle ring. It's a British Pattern 1907. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyCanteen Posted February 3, 2017 Share #8 Posted February 3, 2017 It is a Pattern 1907 bayonet for the Mk III (later known as No. I Mk III) rifle. It has either been reworked or was made after 1916. Remington did manufacture a quantity of them in 1915, however since it appears this example is not one of them, this thread will be locked in keeping with our 'non-US' rule once the manufacturer has been noted.

RC Remington never manufactured the Pattern 1907 bayonet to my knowledge. However, there are some Pattern 1913 bayonets which were converted into Pattern 1907 bayonets by cutting off the muzzle ring and reattaching it closer to the blade to allow it to be used with the Mk III Lee-Enfield.

earlymb Posted February 10, 2017 Share #13 Posted February 10, 2017 As for cleaning, I would look into electrolysis as it's non-invasive, cheap, easy and very effective. I posted a tutorial on the forum: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/260337-how-to-remove-rust-with-electrolysis/?hl=electrolysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted February 10, 2017 Share #15 Posted February 10, 2017 Very well then. Upon looking into it, Remington did actually make them. I was completely unaware of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
