he!!o
First many thanks to Zed who found it on website for me

So, here is a rebadged Wilkinson P1907, for Siamese contract. Only 10.000 made...
Leather on the scabbard replaced by steel.
Best regards
Francois

I am amazed every time even a component of a Siamese contract rifle comes up. They are so hard to find. Good job on finding this bayonet guys!

N°3260
It's the first time that I can read 1907 and Wilkinson on a siamese bayo.
On all other siamese 1907 bayonets that I saw (at least four others than this one), the british originals marking have been carefully grinded.

My "Smiling Tigers".  Fortunately the rifle hasn't been deactivated.

that's a fact - we seem to borrow - steal - invent words quite regular like and yet we have a really complicated language because of all the words we have - some just a nuance off from all the others that might fit only that exact instance of usage , 

i do love the vocabulary , its fun to offer up the exact word on certain occasions and the trivia is entertaining , i really enjoy the older - near antiquated words , but it certainly messes about with these international discussions , 

DO NOT FEAR - the curmudgeons here are harmless , we have little to no turmoil and those that might offer such get banned , if you think there is a rift it is most likely some inside ribbing that is going on by those that have been here long enough to poke each other now and again , 

some of us old curmudgeons are more prone to that than others , but we mean no harm nor foal ....or is that fowl ? oh yes - i recall now we shoot at those dont we ?

Francois,

I am writing an article about these P.'07 Siam-contract bayonets.

Yours is very interesting in that it shows BOTH the partially scrubbed 'WILKINSON' and '1907' stampings.

Since you hold the copyright on the photograph, I would like your permission to include the photograph in the article.  You would of course be credited for the photo in the Acknowledgements.

Best Regards,

JMB

he!!o Francois,

I used your photo of the Smiling Tiger P.07 bayonet in an article about possible identification of the makers of these bayonets sent to Siam by BSA in 1920.

The paper finally made it into print,

so I wanted to share it with you.

Best to read on a wet Saturday afternoon !!

Again, many thanks for your generosity.

Hi John
I've read with a great pleasure your very interesting article... and not only because it was a wet Saturday afternoon Smile

You didn't mention the 100.000 Remington made P1907 bayonets.
No chance that some Remington made P1907 bayonets were included in the siamese BSA contract?

Francois,

You raise an interesting question regarding the possible presence of Remington-made Patt. 1907 bayonets.
My initial weight survey had deliberately excluded these, in case any differences in type/density of steel might obscure any weight differences between makers.
Also, REM was contracted for only 100,000 in the period July 1915 to early May 1916; because of the tremendous demand for bayonets it is likely that, as with RSAF bayonets, there were none left in stores in 1920.

Amicalement,
JMB

the remington P1907s are few in count in the big picture but worthy of consideration , i dont have one and i dont know anyone that does , ill be interested in your results just for the fun of knowing it , i like trivia - not that its gonna come up in my trivia fun knights any time soon , 

on the other hand they were prolific in the P1913/14 and M1917 bayonets , they were afterall just a valiant P1907 , that might offer a decent sampling ,
