This British Pattern 1913 Mk 1 sword bayonet for the Pattern 1914 rifle is in very good condition. The P1913 bayonet was officially introduced into British service on the 21st June 1916 and was made under contract in the USA by Remington and Winchester.
By the end of WW1, Remington had produced 1,243,000 of the P1913 bayonets.
The 433mm blade has a deep single fuller on both sides and a rounded spine. The blade is in very good condition, retaining its original matt finish and its factory sharpened edge with no additional attempts at sharpening.
The blued ricasso is stamped with the pattern date of 1913, the production date of ‘4 ’17 (April, 1917) and the Remington maker’s mark. The obverse ricasso bears two inspection stamps, bend test X and the War Department arrow.
The cross guard and pommel retain their original blueing and the wooden grip scales are in very good condition with a great patina. The press-stud locking mechanism works perfectly.
The bayonet is complete with its original American Mk II leather scabbard with integral belt hanger. The scabbard is fitted with a brown British 1939 pattern leather frog, suggesting that the bayonet was re-issued for Home Guard use during WW2. The scabbard and frog are in good condition with age-related scuffs and marks. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This Remington P1917 bayonet is a great example of the pattern.
