BRITISH SAPPERS BAYONET ENGINEER CARBINE MARTINI HENRY MOD. 1879 SWORD SAWBACK

Description

AUCTION IS FOR BAYONET IN PICTURES The P1879 Artillery sawback sword bayonet is probably one of the most recognizable of British bayonets. More sword than bayonet, it was a true combination tool. The saw function must have been ideal for clearing brush in the field, and whether handled as a sword or fixed as a bayonet, would have been truly daunting for any foe.
