REMINGTON WWI 1917 BAYONET W/SCABBARD P-14 1913 : Bayonets at GunBroker.com


This is the bayonet I bought for my P14 rifle. It is a P13 bayonet with the date "11 16" made by Remington and has other marks. You can see it at the link above. The odd thing is that the scabbard has the metal hanger to fit the grommets in the US M1910 belts instead of the teardrop stud to fit in the web frog on the Britishicon belts. Though I assumed it would be intended for the British to use; but the british P1908 web belts used in WWI don't have grommets. I did find on greatwar.com an "odd" P1908 belt web belt that did have 7 grommets on the right side. I looked at karkeeweb.com and their research didn't cover any british web belts like that one. Does anyone know why this bayonet would have this scabbard?

By the way, this is the bayonet that I was talking about on "to do or not to do (removing rust)?" that plan to restore. I'm going to try the electrolysis method first.
