AFGHANISTAN

Order #BOA  eBook on CD-ROM entitled "Bayonets of Afghanistan" ©2006 Created and published by yours truly, Dennis D. Ottobre. PICTURE The first book published on the subject of Afghan bayonets.  Includes hundreds of detailed color photos with the option to view larger more detailed images of many pieces depicted.  Covers a total of 79 bayonet variants from Afghanistan including a section devoted to spotting fake and fantasy pieces being sold as genuine items on the current collector's market.  Dozens of the variants listed have never previously been published.  Includes a numerical reference system for quick referencing and is formatted to be more printer friendly for those who would like to make a hard copy for their own use.  As with my previous eBook "Observations On Turkish Bayonets" I have left room for expansion and if I receive the same type of participation and feedback from readers sharing more variant items from their own collections for future updates I will keep a list of updates posted here so you can see if you might want to upgrade to a newer version in the future.

016  WWI Imperial German SOCKET BLADED ersatz bayonet with triform British P1853 blade and small beaked straight gripped smooth pressed steel hilt. Lots of pitting on this one.  PIC1***PIC2  $250

030  WWI Imperial German SOCKET BLADED ersatz bayonet with Belgian triform blade and small beaked straight gripped smooth pressed steel hilt.  Blade is probably an M1867 Albini-Brandlin but many of those were converted from earlier bayonets so no way to be sure with the original socket no longer present.  Muzzle ears pinched inwards, broken reverse lug catch.  Original FELDGRAU paint on hilt remains 70% intact.  PIC1***PIC2***PIC3  $250

048  Indian/British P1907 bayonet with scabbard.  HOOKED QUILLION REMOVED RFI 10/13   No Dari markings unfortunately but Bona Fide Afghanistan procured.  PIC1***PIC2***PIC3***PIC4    $125

083 Canadian made but former BRITISH ISSUED ROSS bayonet with scabbard procured in Afghanistan. Blade contour modified to fit a Romanian M1893 scabbard.   Bears no Canadian property marks but rather has British broad arow and inspector's stamp on the crossguard. Britain did buy some Ross rifles for issue with Royal Navy units operating in and around Mesopatamia (Iraq) during their fight with Turkey there from 1915-1918. The Turks probably captured these and at some point reshaped the blades to fit the available Romanian scabbards (Turkey is well documented using modified Romanian M93 bayonets and their scabbards).   Turkey at some point foisted off large amounts of military equipment on Afghanistan and seems to have made it a point fo sending any really oddball rifles and bayonets that were not as easily adaptable to their own needs as others that Turkey is famous for modifying.  However these ended up in this configuration I have seen 10 identically so modified come from Afghanistan and guarantee that the modification is a legitimate variant and not Bubba's work.   PIC1***PIC2***PIC3   $200

086  Former Turkish M1890 bayonet shortened and hooked quillion removed but straight portion of quillion remains protruding unlike similar Turkish modifications for export pattern Mausers.  The muzzle ring has been reamed out for use on an M1910 Ross rifle but the locking lug to muzzle ring distance is so long that the ring slips off the end of the barrel if jarred forward.  It's not clear if the conversion is Turkish or Afghan but I suspect it is more likely Turkish since it is really not very functional.  Turkey produced many poor or altogether non-functioning conversions.  Most of the Afghan made and converted bayonets work quite well.  Minor hammering on pommel but mortise slot is unaffected  PIC1***PIC2  $95

097 Indian/British P1907 bayonet with scabbard.  RFI 11/20 date.  No Dari markings unfortunately but Bona Fide Afghanistan procured.   PIC1***PIC2***PIC3***PIC4   $100

098  Afghan re-issued British P1907 bayonets with scabbards.  WITH Dari numbers on right side of pommel. I have several each of WILKINSON or SANDERSON manufacture (Your choice).  All have the updated pommel with cleanout hole.  Best examples go first.  $75 each.

109 Afghan re-issued British P1907 bayonet with scabbard.  HOOKED QUILLION REMOVED  EFD 8/11 date.  Dari markings on the right side of pommel.   PIC1***PIC2***PIC3***PIC4***PIC5   $100

147  Afghan CONTRACT P1903 bayonet.  Commercially made P1903 bayonet marked "WILKINSON LONDON"  with a small "crown" over "49" over "W" inspection stamp but no British property markings or bend test marks so NOT a British accepted bayonet.  Tang bears great Dari markings on both edges.  PIC1***PIC2***PIC3***PIC4***PIC5  $100

149  Afghan CONTRACT P1903 bayonet with scabbard.  Commercially made P1903 bayonet marked "WILKINSON LONDON"  with a small "crown" over "49" over "W" inspection stamp but no British property markings or bend test marks so NOT a British accepted bayonet.  Tang bears great Dari markings on both edges.  Scabbard rough with Afghan repair.   PIC1***PIC2***PIC3***PIC4  $125

160  British P1888 CARBINE bayonet with scabbard.  EFD 3/01 with Crown VR and latest reinspection date of 1919.  No Afghan markings but bona fide Afghan procured. PIC1***PIC2***PIC3***PIC4   $200

175  WWI Imperial German SOCKET BLADED ersatz bayonet with US triform blade (looks like either an M1835 or M1842) and Multi piece cast 9 groove steel hilt.  This is the specific variant of this particular hilt that is purpose made to accept triform socket blades.  Release button very stiff and sticks but works with a bit of effort.  Very rare to find US blade.

8243 Irish issue? Steyr made export S71/84 bayonet with scabbard for German model GEW1888 rifles.  Same pattern as "M1904 Irish Mannlicher" bayonet but with much larger muzzle ring to fit GEW1888 Commission Rifles.  The GEW1888 rifles were produced under contract by Steyr for China and may also have been some of the GEW1888s supplied to factions in Ireland during WWI along with M1904 rifles and bayonets.  Rivet retained grips.  No Irish cartouche on grips nor are there any Chinese markings but the four digit serial number "8951" on the right side of the crossguard is consistent with Irish marking practices.  OEWG ricasso marking.  Medium pitting on 50% of the unsharpened blade.  Mounts and dismounts smoothly from my GEW88.  PIC1***PIC2***PIC3***PIC4***PIC5***PIC6***PIC7  $200

8668 Former Austrian M1888/90 bayonet with scabbard.  Clear Austrian eagle on ricasso. Czech Modified to fit German GEW1888 Commission Rifle by crudely reaming out the muzzle ring.  Czech "(lion)18" on the pommel shows it to be VERY early Czech piece.  Scabbard is late Austrian ersatz type.  This could also have been modified by Austria late in the game.  The possibility also remains that it was Bubba-ized but I have a feeling it's right.   PIC1***PIC2   $200

10137 Remington Rolling Block brass hilted yataghan bayonet with scabbard. Contract copy of French M1866 Chasspot bayonet with different mortise slot configuration for use on Rolling Block rifles.  The scabbard has been wirte wheeled and may not really be correct for this bayonet although it covers the blade nicely.  It is the same as a French M1866 scabbard but unmarked.  Maker mark on spine in the French fashion and reads (to the best of my ability to read it) "J.FUNCKE y CIE HERDECKE DECbre 1867"  which is associated with the M1866 Chasspot bayonet but this example is clearly the Rolling Block version and will not fit a Chasspot rifle.  Blade remains unsharpened.
