#534
– A P1840 Constabulary carbine socket bayonet with Lovell lug. Unissued, and never 'fitted' to it's carbine, thus the lug is larger (not filed to fit) likewise the foresight slot is
short, and the scabbard retaining spring never installed. Nice test strike impression on the elbow. Fine overall pitting and a good age patina, probably the result of long storage.

#483
– A modified P1853 Enfield musket socket bayonet. Designated by Uruguay, Bayoneta de Cubo para los rifles Mauser Mod. 1870 (Socket Bayonet for Mauser Model 1870 Rifles),
these bayonets were a conversion of the British Pattern 1853 Enfield bayonet. It was used by both Uruguay and Japan with M1871 Mauser rifles procured from Steyr in the 1880s.
This bayonet is historically significant as one of only two socket bayonet types ever used with a Mauser rifle. Both were conversions, there never being a socket bayonet
actually designed for use with a Mauser.

#770
– The very first Martini Henry bayonet! Before the development and production of a new Pattern bayonet (the P1876 socket bayonet) for the Martini Henry rifle, RSAF Enfield
undertook to modify P1853 Enfield/Snider socket bayonets to fit the new rifle. It was a quick and easy fix to properly arm troops as the rifle came off the production line.
The socket of the P1853 bayonet was bushed to an i/d of 18mm to fit the reduced barrel size, and the blade stamped with E (Enfield) and the date of conversion. This example is dated January 1874.
Complete with brass mounted black leather scabbard, impressed with broad arrow over WD.
