Rare British 1879 pattern saw-backed sword bayonet and scabbard for the Martini-Henry artillery carbine Mk1. The P1879 Artillery sawback sword bayonet is probably one of the most recognizable of British bayonets. More sword than bayonet, it was a true combination tool. The saw function must have been ideal for clearing brush in the field, and whether handled as a sword or fixed as a bayonet, would have been truly daunting for any foe. The bayonet is marked stamped with the date 11/1885, War Department (WD), crown and Enfield.
*Condition*
Both bayonet and scabbard are in excellent condition. Please refer to the images as a part of our condition report.
