Webley Pritchard Bayonet for the Webley MkVI Pistol - Standard Grade

An absolute must for the WW1 Collector or anyone owning a Mark VI Webley Revolver. Original bayonets of this model now command well over one thousand dollars. This is a very well made replica of an extremely rare bayonet. Comes with a blued steel scabbard and leather frog. Some fitting will be required.

Dimensions:
Overall: 12-1/2"
Blade: 8-1/4".

Fitting Instructions: The Webley Pritchard Bayonet was intended for use with the Webley Mark VI Revolver with a standard 6" barrel. We believe that some Mark IV versions came with shorter barrels and in those cases the bayonet will not fit. The concept is that the brass hilt has a barrel "Groove" machined into the upper edge of the grip and the cross guard has an orifice through which the front of the barrel with the foresight protrudes through. The rear or the hilt is hollowed and fits over and around the pivoting hinge of barrel to frame. As a result the pistol can be reloaded without removing the bayonet. There is a locking catch on the cross guard that indexes directly behind the front sight mount retaining the bayonet to the weapon. These Revolver Bayonets were developed by W.W.Greener in WW1 and were for private sale to Officers.

PLEASE NOTE- THESE BAYONETS ARE UNMARKED!
