This is an extremely early and rare 1907 Enfield Bayonet made in 10 -1911 ?. The date is Oct 1911?. Which means (October - 1911 ?) The month is somewhat blurred -Typical of WW1 war years manufacture. They don't get much earlier than that.
An extremely collectable WWI 1907 Enfield BAYONET -
WILKERSON
PALL MALL
- Judge by your standards - This is a much nicer condition WWI Enfield than normally encountered despite it being a early made bayonet set.. Great Collectable. . This is a Bayonet - that any collector would be proud to own and display. This is history - for display or/ and investment for the future. Please look closely a the pictures of this bayonet set - this is a very nice collector's set. Very minor slight dis-coloration. see pictures - would be very easy to polish out, but prefer to leave original.
The scabbard has the oval frog button that was used on WWI scabbards - so it is correct for the bayonet for bayonets used in both world wars. This bayonet was obtained many years ago from a WW11 military arsenal so it being used as a WWII Bayonet set also is very probable saw action in both WW1 and WW11 and also various other encounters by the British Army.
These Bayonets made history in two World Wars and countless worldwide small incidents. I wish I knew more about the various proofs - a person could do some research and establish more of its history. AN ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION!

P
l
ease see the pictures for unique and exact markings on the blade - a very historic collectable for display, re-enactment or simply an investment. The blade is 17 inches long and the overall 22 inches long - a very serious fighting instrument. This fits all British mk 111 rifles used in both wars. It will not fit the later number 4 rifles. This is a bayonet
THAT IS
OVER
100 YEARS OLD
-and good for age and history- pictures will better show condition. In addition - it is a well marked with proofs bayonet. It goes nicely on my mark 111 rifle.
It is not an cheap India made bayonet , a junk fake copy or a worn out and rusty eyesore..
. It probably saw service in WW11. I say that because a collector informed me that the
British Army used MK111s rifles extensively
with the model 1907 bayonet and it came from an WW11 Arsenal. - see pictures. If it could only talk. Great for displaying with rifle, by itself , re-enacting or simply collecting. Note pictures of markings on the bayonet - I'm sure they probably mean more to you than me.
Note:
The blade has not been sharpened since leaving the Gov't Arsenal.
The blade
NO
bends or cracks.
Bayonet buttons for attaching to rifles are always checked and work fine!
