I see that Joe Salter has a early Wilkinson hooked quillion with the AC marked scabbard for sale at $1995.00 US.
I have had mine for almost twenty years now, nice example and marked to the 39th Foot Dorsetshire Regiment. Here are photos of my example also with A. Cooper scabbardAttachment 105165Attachment 105166Attachment 105167
There is a 1915 Lithgow one for sale here on fleabay originally for $5k now down to $3K my mate picked a Hooky up a while ago for $400.oo/Au then to top it all a Lithgow HT Sniper rifle for $4K bugger me dead............always I was 2 milkshakes short at the cafe!!!!
Nice blade RCS getting scarcer to get
Joe's always high but they are getting pricey. They usually are marked to a guards regiment if they're UK blades and this one doesn't appear to be. That would make it scarce comparatively...
Mine is marked "AUSTRALIA" on the grip panel.
That had something to do with the bayonet going overseas in the 1920's some one may be able to explain that, my 1921 Lithgow '07 has the same on its scale.
I have a Sanderson 1915 inspected in '25 still appears to be in excellent conition. Paid $50.00 US back in 1999 from a Steve Forrest ad in Shotgun News. Grip is stamped AUSTRALIA .
