This American WW1 1917 Pattern bayonet for the Enfield .30 calibre rifle was made by Remington.
The 431mm blade has a deep single fuller on both sides and a rounded spine. The blade is in great condition and retains its original factory edge and blueing to the ricasso.
The ricasso is stamped with the 1917 pattern designation above the Remington maker’s mark. The obverse ricasso bears the “flaming grenade” over “US” ordnance stamp and the eagle head, numbered inspection stamp. The ricasso also bears a partially struck bend test X stamp.
The cross guard and pommel retain their original blueing and the wooden grip scales are in good condition with minimal age and use-related dings and marks. The press-stud locking mechanism works perfectly.
The bayonet is complete with its original Mk II green leather scabbard, which is in very good condition. The leather is firm and undamaged with the stitching is intact and strong. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This Remington P1917 bayonet is in excellent condition and is a great example of the pattern.
