This is a scarce, Winchester made American 1917 Pattern bayonet for the Enfield .30 calibre rifle.
The 430mm blade has a deep single fuller on both sides and a rounded spine. The blade is in good condition with small patches of pitting and some small nicks to the cutting edge. The ricasso retains its blueing.
The ricasso is stamped with the 1917 pattern designation above the Winchester maker’s mark. The obverse ricasso bears the “flaming grenade” ordnance stamp and an eagle head inspection stamp along with a bend test X.
The cross guard and pommel retain their original blueing with use-related wear and the wooden grip scales are in great condition. The press-stud locking mechanism works perfectly.
The bayonet is complete with a leather scabbard with round frog stud. The scabbard is in good condition. The locket and chape retain their original finish with minor wear. The leather is firm and undamaged and the stitching is intact and strong. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This is a good example of a scarce, Winchester made model 1917 American WW1 bayonet that was probably reissued for British Home Guard use during WW2.
