Australian Pattern 1907 bayonet made in 1943 at the Orange Small Arms Factory in New South Wales.
The 430mm, single edged blade has a long narrow fuller and rounded spine. The blade retains its factory edge and original black finish and is in excellent condition.
The ricasso is stamped with the pattern designation, 1907 over the numeral 1. Below this is the manufacture date of 11 ’43 (November 1943). The obverse ricasso bears an Australian Defence Department arrow stamp, a bend test mark and the Orange Small Arms factory OA mark.
The crosspiece and muzzle ring retain their original blueing, as does the steel pommel. The push button locking mechanism is in good condition and works well. The pommel is stamped with the issue number 207.
The grip scales are both stamped SLAZ43 and are in good condition with some use related wear and staining. The scales are held firmly in place by the two original screws.
The bayonet is complete with its correct World War Two issued leather scabbard with a round frog stud. The scabbard is in very good condition. The stitching is intact and strong. The steel locket and chape retain their original blueing with minor wear and are stamped with Mangrovite factory marks. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is a very good example of an Orange made World War two Australian P1907 bayonet.
