Blued Australian Pattern 1907 bayonet made in 1944 at the Orange Small Arms Factory in New South Wales.

The 432mm, single edged blade has a long narrow fuller and rounded spine. The edge is factory sharpened. The blade is in excellent condition and retains its original blued finish with minimal scabbard wear.

The ricasso is marked with an Australian manufacture mark over the pattern designation. Below this is the manufacture date of 4 ’44 (April 1944).

The obverse ricasso bears a bend test stamp, Australian Defence Department arrow and the OA, Orange manufacture stamp.

The crosspiece and muzzle ring retain their original blueing, as does the steel pommel. The Australian coachwood grip scales are in good condition and are faintly stamped “SLAZ 44.” The scales are held firmly in place by the two original screws. The push button locking mechanism is in good condition and works well.

The bayonet is complete with its correct No.1 Mk II World War Two issued brown leather scabbard with a large round frog stud. The scabbard is in excellent condition. The leather is stamped MANGROVITE 44 with a capital B and arrow on the opposite side. The stitching is intact and strong. The steel locket and chape retain their original blueing and are stamped with the OA, Orange factory mark. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.

This is an excellent example of an Orange factory made World War two, Australian P1907 bayonet.
