British pattern 1855 bayonet made for the Lancaster 'oval bore' carbine in stunning condition. 24" pipe backed bright steel blade (unsharpened) with no pitting just a couple of light marks on one side. Top of blade near cross-guard is marked Crown over BR over 26. One side of the Ricasso is marked B over 78 with the makers name 'Chavasse' on the other. This is most probably Horace Chavasse of Birmingham. Brass cross-guard and pommel with a nice patina. Very good leather grips showing no signs of shrinkage. The scabbard is in very good condition with both brass Locket and Chape retaining a superb patina and being stamped with numbers matching the bayonet (Crown over BR over 26). The scabbard leather is also in super condition with all stitching intact and bearing clear stamps including the matching number and a broad arrow over WD. This is by far the best Lancaster 1855 bayonet I have ever seen. |
