A trio of Chinese type 56 SKS bayonets. Each with cruciform blades, and squared off screwdriver type points to the tips. Designed to be a copy of the Russian Mosin Nagant bayonet. No apparent marks to any of the 3 examples. Sizes vary, with 2 being approximately 38cm length, and the remaining example being 28cm in length. Together with a Japanese Type 30 bayonet, with hooked quillon. Marked with the Kokura Arsenal symbol to the ricasso, and a serial number to the end of the pommel. Condition: some surface rust spots from storage. Each of the 4 bayonets have patches of rusting to the blades, with the Japanese example having a patch at the ricasso. All 4 are minus their scabbards. Despite the rust spotting, which it may be possible to improve, each bayonet is in reasonable service worn condition.
A fine and scarce large fragment of copper sheathing, salvaged from the wreckage site of HMS Bounty, in Bounty Bay at Pitcairn Island in the early 1970’s. The piece, patinated with verdigris, oxidisation, and a small patch of barnacles, is housed in a purpose made oak frame, glazed to both sides to allow viewing of the item. The copper is sunk into a slot cut into the base, which allows it sit upright, plus there is also what appears to be an original ships nail hammered into the wood to steady it. The framed has an applied engraved brass plaque to the top, stating ‘HMS Bounty aka HM Armed Vessel Bounty 1787-1790’. Provenance: acquired by R.A.F. Chief Technician John Coleman, likely in 1973 or possibly 1974, when he was stationed there in order to assist with the setting up of the radio station. CH.T. Coleman travelled to Pitcairn on the Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship, Sir Percival, with the R.A.F team and equipment landing there firstly in May 1973, and for a second time in May 1974. The inclusion of two handwritten logs, detailing Island life, residents, weather, and the work carried out, offers an interesting insight into daily life, and the comings and going’s of the inhabitants. Several entries detail fishing and swimming trips in Bounty Bay, with mention of being shown the location of the wreck of HMS Bounty. In an entry from Sunday 20th May 1973, John Coleman states in his log that ‘in fact you can still see a cannon embedded in the coral, it will probably stay there forever. Nearby there were also sheets of copper from the ships bottom, well encrusted with the invading coral’. Another entry from Sunday 1st July 1973 mentions him assisting in the raising on one of Bounty’s cannons from the seabed. It seems highly likely that the copper fragment was salvaged during one of the above mentioned trips in Bounty Bay, though the exact date is unknown. Notes: HMS Bounty, also known as HM Armed Vessel Bounty started life as a Merchant Vessel, before its purchase by the Royal Navy in 1787. It set sail on a botanical mission to acquire breadfruit plants in order to transport them to the British West Indies as part of an experiment to establish whether it could be used as a food crop for enslaved workers in plantations. The ship was commanded by Lieutenant William Bligh, until April 28th 1790, when the famous mutiny occurred, led by the Master’s Mate Fletcher Christian. Bligh was put aboard a 23 foot launch, along with 18 loyalist crewmen, and successfully made the astonishing 4164 mile voyage to the colonial outpost of Timor over 47 days. The mutineers, now in command of the Bounty, made their way initially to Tubuai, and then later to Tahiti, and then back to Tubuai, where the party attempted to establish a settlement, despite constant clashes with native islanders. Over time, discontent grew amongst the mutineers, with some voting to go back to Tahiti and take their chances there. Christian agreed to transport them there, before setting sale to Pitcairn with the remaining 9 mutineers. After being stripped of parts for use on the island, HMS Bounty was set ablaze and destroyed on January 23rd 1790. The bottom section of the hull of Bounty was clad in copper in order to protect the wood from shipworm, and provide extra longevity to the structure. Case size 48.1cm width, depth 11.4cm, height 36cm. Condition: very good. Aside from the obvious oxidisation and verdigris to the copper, the metal is in good stable condition, and seems to be securely fixed in the frame. Some light contact marks to the frame in places, but nothing that detracts. Some very slight foxing to the inside of the glass on both side, likely where some moisture has crept in over the years.
Two examples of the post WW2 Czechoslovakian VZ-24 bayonet, with one marked ‘CSZ’ to the ricasso, and another marked ‘tgf’ to the frog stud, which indicates that it was manufactured under the communist regime, and was produced between 1948 and 1950. Both examples complete with wooden slab grips, scabbards, and leather frogs. Approximately 44.5cm in scabbard, blade lengths 29.8cm. Condition: generally good. Some normal age and service wear, with contact marks to the wooden grips. Both blades clean and free from any corrosion. One of the scabbards has a small patch of rust corrosion to the surface (see image).
A small collection of WW2 era Local Defence Force / Home Guard cloth insignia. To include: a Local Defence Force ‘LDV’ armband, with black text printed onto a khaki twill fabric. Some loose threads to the reverse from where it appears to have been sewn onto a uniform. Plus, another LDV armbands, but with the later ‘Home Guard’ screen printed patch sewn over the LDV. You can faintly see the original LDV from the reverse side. And 2 Home Guard shoulder titles, one embroidered and another screen printed. Both armbands approximately 19cm x 8.5cm. Condition: generally good. Some service and age wear to the LDV armband, with some small holed to the reverse, and some rust coloured soiling to both the back and front. The Home Guard armband and shoulder titles remain in good condition, with only light age and service wear.
A selection of British and German WW2 era cloth insignia. To include: Royal Navy Petty Officer’s bullion cap insignia, a Royal Navy torpedo gunner’s mate bullion sleeve badge, a pair of embroidered ‘Reconnaissance’ shoulder titles, a single Royal Artillery embroidered shoulder title, a pair of 3rd Infantry Division badges, a single 21st Army Group cloth patch, a matched pair of uncut 11th Armoured Division printed formation signs, a single Northumberland Fusiliers formation badge, a WW2 German army Major of transport shoulder board, a single Luftwaffe Flak shoulder board, plus the remnants of a collar tab with embroidered Luftwaffe roundel attached. Condition: generally good to most. Some normal age and service wear, with some surface soiling, loose threads etc. The German collar tab is only a fragment, with its backing and padding absent. The Luftwaffe shoulder board would appear to have had a number or other piece of insignia once applied to one end, but this is now absent.
A trio of bayonets, to included a Swedish M1896 bayonet with scabbard, an Indian made No.1 MKII* sword bayonet dated November 1944, and a reproduction pre-1937 Japanese Arisaka Type 30 bayonet with scabbard. Notes: the Swedish bayonet has the usual all steel construction, with the scabbard retaining its frog stud. The No.1 MKII bayonet carries the GRI mark, and the Indian RFI mark at the ricasso (scabbard absent). This late war example is of crude construction, with the slab grips being flat and rectangular, and the pommel being of squared off form. The cross guard is stamped ‘DP’ for Drill Purpose. The blade lack a fuller, and is simply painted black, instead of being blued. The Japanese Type 30 lacks any kind of marks, and looks almost mint condition. Condition: generally good. Normal age and service wear to the Swedish example, with darkening to the steel, along with some minor dents, and a small corrosion patch on the chape. Clean blade, with just a few dark spots. The Indian bayonet retains much of its black painted finish, with wooden grips having a dark patination and the remains of a white or light coloured stripe (perhaps for drill purposes) around the circumference of the grips. The reproduction Japanese bayonet is in very good condition, with just some minor surface spotting to the pommel area.
A reproduction WW1 1917 dated Indian army MKII Kukri knife and associated leather scabbard. Polished wooden handle, secured by two brass and steel rivets, and fitted with two brass rings and a brass butt plate. The curved blade is marked for the Cossipore factory and Indian War Department, a 1917 date, and and the serial number 37. The leather sheath is a dark tan colour, and has been distressed or aged. It’s belt loops are present, but have come lose from the main body of the sheath. Length approximately 47cm, blade length 33cm. Condition: generally good. A small surface rust patch to the blade, but is otherwise clean condition. A little wear and patination to the handle, but it remains solid. The sheath shows wear, but as mentioned above, this appears to have been artificially aged.
