that is correct - except in a couple rare early instances , i think it was the vickers made that had the same smooth scales , but then those are so rare that we seldome see them and i doubt many got into the supply lines , i ve only seen one ,

Ok NOW I unnerstann. The P-14 versions had "lines, or grooves" cut across the Wood scales to identify them a being for the different muzzle size & shape of the P-14 from the SMLE which they wouldn't fit although looking similar at a glance. like this:  |

The original question was asked if a 1907 Pattern bayonet would fit a No4Mk1.

This is a 1907 pattern bayonet for the smle number 1 Lee Enfields, it fits all the variations up to the Number 1 mark lll*, unfortunately not for the number 4. It was made by Wilkinson, datestamped 8/ 1917. I have a similar bayonet made by Sanderson datestamped 3/1917.

the 26 looks like a refurb date , thinking the clearing hoole was added as the early ones lacked that ,the scabbard is the early one with the almond shaped stup the later had the round button , very common for WWI bayonets , it looks a very nice set from the photos , not sure on the $300 - that depends a lot on current markets , ive not been in the buying mode for quite a while but was a tad high back when i was , yet finding a complete blade scabbard and frog in that condition could be a challenge

Gentlemen
Thank you for the replies Since this won’t fit my current Enfield sniper I have told the owner that I will pass hopefully it goes to someone who can use it

I would not pay that much for that bayonet - more in the realm of the MOLE, Vickers, early RFI or Remington for that price. But some collect them based on being unit marked.
Oh and you are welcome - and the above is just my opinion. |

Ditto ^^^^ It kinda looks like (Chapman scrubbed) to my poor eyesight. A rear photo of the (cross guard,quillon) would be interesting if possible. $300.00 with the scabbard & frog not unreasonable IMO. Cheer’s.

Its an interesting bayonet, looks to have had the original makers mark scrubbed then Wilkinson over stamped during a refurb in Aug 1917. OTC is Officer Training Corps BDS would be the college or university, the numbers probably its rack number. From what I gather definitely a keeper, rare to find an OTC bayonet

More commonly encountered Pattern 1907 without the hooked lower quillon.
British makers include the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield; and the following British government contractors: —James A. Chapman I know of one that has been sitting in a glass case for at least 5 years now with a $225.00 price tag on it and it has yet to sell but, out here in Phoenix Arizona, it's not going to... |

Thank you Thad for your reply. it helped me that’s for sure.
Thank you Mike for your post if I remember correctly one of your bayonets is now mine 😊 However I appreciate the pictures & your post 😉 Is that 16” worth $300 ? What is the demand on a Number 1 Mark III. ?

While this No7 MkIL bayonet was intended for use with the MkV Sten Submachine Gun, it will also fit the the No4Mk1 Enfield rifle.
