Dave66 Posted 23 May , 2021 Share Posted 23 May , 2021 Another one here…..https://www.agmilitaria.com/shop.php?ps=1#prettyPhoto[52989]/0/ R.A.F. 1.C 0049. Sanderson 12 18…..well polished! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 24 May , 2021 Author Share Posted 24 May , 2021 Thanks! Off-hand, that is the lowest number on record. It is reasonably well polished, yes, but not as bad as some where you can't see maker or date! A realistic price also (no connection to the seller!) - my first one, bought in Oxford about 2014/2015 was around GBP90-100. Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB1943 Posted 24 May , 2021 Share Posted 24 May , 2021 Dave, Well done, that man! Again........you are clearly bucking for promotion.... Yes, the lowest serial number yet seen, and that could fit very nicely in the guardroom of the airfield where I shall eventually park my Spitfeuer and/or Hurenkahne. Regards, JMB [P.S. Later today, check the Smiling Tiger thread for a VERY low serial number.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N White Posted 21 November , 2021 Share Posted 21 November , 2021 1 C 6371 On a Pall Mall Wilkinson, date illegible. Ebay right now. Red background, and listing does NOT mention the RAF. Amazing! New or known? I couldn't find the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB1943 Posted 21 November , 2021 Share Posted 21 November , 2021 Yes, that is a new one and I totally missed it! I last posted the list in page 6 of this thread on May 28, 2019. Will have to see about a cut-and-paste method , because I’m not up for retyping the whole list every so often. Regards, JMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N White Posted 21 November , 2021 Share Posted 21 November , 2021 I think a google document would probably be best, just set permissions so only you can edit it but any can view with a link. Periodically (every page or so) repaste the link. Also easy to search to see if one is already known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB1943 Posted 21 November , 2021 Share Posted 21 November , 2021 Updated to today, list of RAF-marked bayonets. Formatting has gone a little astray, but do not have time/patience to correct it, and it is quite obvious where the errant numbers fall in the sequence. Since the numbers only trickle in now, I will not do an update for another year. Thanks to all for your past and future efforts to collect these numbers!! Regards, JMB 1./// 1. A 1. B 1. C 1. D 1.

N White Posted 26 November , 2021 Share Posted 26 November , 2021 (edited) This should be openable in Excel, and fix the format issues. The forum doesn't allow Excel files apparently.

Dave66 Posted 23 February , 2022 Share Posted 23 February , 2022 Been a while, but one very nice example popped up here….https://agmilitaria.com/shop.php?code=53170 Manufactured by Wilkinson in April 1915, has a nice 41 inspection stamp on the ricasso. 1E 4791.

MikeyH Posted 7 April , 2022 Share Posted 7 April , 2022 (edited) Found on an Enfield Forum, quite by chance, a Vickers P1907 dated November 1918 marked:- RAF over 1 over 2279. Oddly no letter stamp visible after the 1. Mike. Edited 7 April , 2022 by MikeyH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB1943 Posted 7 April , 2022 Share Posted 7 April , 2022 Mike, Yes, another new one! Looking at the table that I posted on Nov. 21. you can see that there are many Bayonets of the same type, i.e. no letter after 1.

trajan Posted 8 April , 2022 Author Share Posted 8 April , 2022 Thanks for another new one! But, off-hand, if there is a 10% survival rate for Siamese bayonets (IIRC!), we have a l-o-n-g way to go with RAF ones... Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, JMB Regards, JMB JMB, Forgot to say, the other side of the pommel on this one is marked:- S.D. over what looks like 77 . 2C, also carries the standard sold out of service mark. Pictured on:- enfield-rifles.com back in 2015. Unable to find any definition of S.D. abbreviation. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a '1' before the SD? That is usual, IIRC. Got to go to a ZOOM meeting now... Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
