t.ryan Posted 5 December , 2021 Share Posted 5 December , 2021 Hi ScottN, Any story with this one, bayonet looks in nice condition; any other photo's? Looks like No.41?0 but will leave that to JMB. The scabbard is early Aussie scabbard (A in small star) marked to 2nd. Military District (N.S.W.). Cheers, TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t.ryan Posted 6 December , 2021 Share Posted 6 December , 2021 Interesting; I do not use Facebook. Are they selling them or something, or other collectors maybe?. Keep watching.

t.ryan Posted 6 December , 2021 Share Posted 6 December , 2021 I think they should be the same numbers but I have noticed that some numbers have an extra wiggle ? on them sometimes, noticed it on the number 5 especially. Cheers, Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.ryan Posted 17 December , 2021 Share Posted 17 December , 2021 (edited) JMB' Another smiling tiger for the list, just showed up on the bay. Nice clearly marked 590 in all metal scabbard. The No. 5 has the extra wiggle on top to what the chart shows Cheers, TR Edited 17 December , 2021 by t.ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMB1943 Posted 1 February , 2022 Author Share Posted 1 February , 2022 Mr. Ryan & Mr. Scott, All best wishes for the New Year. I have come across a few more numbers online, so total is around 103 (includes the partial numbers). Is there anything new on the Siam bayonets to report from down under?

t.ryan Posted 1 February , 2022 Share Posted 1 February , 2022 JMB Best wishes to you also. Always on the lookout for any new numbered Siam. bayonets, or anything else interesting but nothing new at the moment. Cheers, TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t.ryan Posted 20 February , 2022 Share Posted 20 February , 2022 Would have to say that this looks like the number 10,000. That would make it the highest number we are likely to see as supposedly there were only 10,000 of these 1907 Siamese contract bayonets made.

JMB1943 Posted 20 February , 2022 Author Share Posted 20 February , 2022 Finally, the elusive 10,000 is located! Well spotted 5thBatt. Regards, JMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB1943 Posted 22 February , 2022 Author Share Posted 22 February , 2022 An on-line search brought up another five at auction houses (1485; 5405; 6013; 6107; 8181) so I updated the Table to include the #10,000 ( x = indecipherable numeral).

5thBatt Posted 22 February , 2022 Share Posted 22 February , 2022 Nice to see both #1 & #10,000 still both exist, i know where NZ inventory #2 & NZ inventory #1500 of the 1500 NZ carbines are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB1943 Posted 22 February , 2022 Author Share Posted 22 February , 2022 (edited) 5th, Judging from your posts of spectacular examples, it occurs to me that you know where a LOT of very nice militaria is located!!! But, do you know where the 100th Siamese serial number is? We currently have recorded 99 of these. Are there any in museums in NZ that may hold one or two?

t.ryan Posted 24 February , 2022 Share Posted 24 February , 2022 (edited) JMB, On page 216 of my copy of M J Brayley,s 2004 "Bayonets, An Illustrated History" is a very clear photo of Siamese bayonet No 1889 along with its metal scabbard, a survivor for sure. Seen it before but did not realize it was not on list and was not sure if permitted to post photo.
