    Hi Sam,
    Sorry have only just seen your thread regarding your hook quillion. Firstly you didn't get ripped off, that's a good price for the condition of the piece. Presume there was a scabbard, which...

    I guess this madness will continue and goes to add credit as to what I was saying in that the some of the parts is worth more than the rifle. :surrender:

    Agree with everything you say. I guess its the fact that these pieces are now so old and the supply of parts is very scarce. I know of one firearms shop in Sydney that now dismantles 303s because...

    I guess the bayonet found its way to the UK from the USA, eBay has a funny habit of doing that. There are now hundreds and hundreds here in Australia as well because we have been bringing them home...

    Photos of both sides of the pommel (handle ends) would be good. You may have an Australian contact bayonet but need the photos to be sure. There may be specific markings. CINDERS probably nailed that...

    Aussie perspective

    It would seem that we do things a little differently downunder. Well I assume anyway. Whilst I have the typical piece described previously here is one that appears to be a little different....

    Well, I have been away for 2 weeks deep sea fishing and come back to see the sale at a "record" price!! Well done on negotiating that. Can't wait to get mine home to post some pics.

    That makes me feel a whole better. Thanks also to BAR as I have bookmarked that thread to help chase down a band eventually. Can also see now how it was fitted. Can't wait to get the MK V licenced...

    [QUOTE=Peter Laidler;371024]It makes youi wonder why there was a need for a top nosecap band. After all, nothing changed at that end. The stresses and strains remained the same. Bayonet fixings,...

    I have just purchased a MK V dated 1923 and paid A$2150.00 in really good condition, all matching numbers and mint bore. Unfortunately it is missing the front band securing the nose cap. By the sound...

    Looks like we have two of those ladies that believe they are the font of all knowledge - not, making comments that demonstrate just how puerile they actually are.

    Do not agree that the arrow should be inside the D. The arrow inside the D is a "Land Service" marking and the majority of all my British Pattern 1907 sword bayonets used by Australia in WW1 bear...

    Yes, that is the correct maker. The arrow over the D in combination with N56 is attributed to Australian issue whilst in Europe. The stamping of such is on the forward end of the socket near the...

    I read a lot on this forum but rarely comment unless I think it necessary. Old Smithy (Carl) will know who I am when I say I purchased a collection of Australian bayonets recently. Australians were...

    It appears that the year 1914 for Australian Lithgow Hook Quillon bayonets is the transition from square fullers to oval fullers. In my previous posting I showed a photo of my 1914 with square...

    Need to change my previous comment. Australian double stitched scabbards were also made in 1921. How do I know that, one just arrived on a Lithgow 1915 hook quillion bayonet.

    You have a very rare bayonet indeed and different to to records. Bigduke6 is correct in that he believes that bayonets of the Pattern 1913 trials were producted by Vickers. The gripscales were...
