Scabbard is NOT included. Originally Pattern 1907 bayonets were cut down from 1939-1942 during WWII since warfare strategies changed and they realized the longer bayonet was not necessary and basically too cumbersome. In 1943, India started producing more bayonets at the right length without having to modify old bayonets. These bayonets were a simpler unfullered version to make production easier. They were made by various manufacturers like Bengal & Northwest Railways (NWR) and RFI. Overall, this bayonet is in Good - Very Good condition, considering its age and history. The press catch is functional with stiff spring tension. Both the pommel and guard are securely fastened to the tang. They have scrapes & oxidation. The coloring has started to change to a darker patina color. The two (2x) screw escutcheons securely fasten the wood grips to the tang. They have oxidized and light tool marks with strong slots. The wood panels have chips, compressions and draglines. The wood has darkened with age. The spine and sides have oxidation and scrapes. There are no nicks or dings on the blade edge and it appears to have its original factory edge. The tip is intact and comes to a sharp straight point. Most of the remaining finish has changed to a darker patina color. The left side ricasso is marked with the British crown / G.R.I. / Mk. I* / 7 42 / RFI" and the right side ricasso is marked with proof marks. This bayonet will be a great addition to your Indian WWII rifle, or a bayonet collection in general.
