Item Description

Original Item: Straight from our discovery of arms in the royal palace of Nepal. The P-1885 Long Lever Martini Infantry Rifle was initially issued with an 18" bladed Sword Bayonet with a fullered blade and leaf spring on the locking mechanism. This was the P-1887 Mk. 1. However, in 1888 the P-1887 Mk. 3 was approved with an unfullered blade and a coil spring on the locking mechanism.

This is an original P-1887 Mk3 Bayonet with colonial issue brass fitted scabbard. Each sword bayonet bears British maker markings and dates and is offered in very good condition.

Intended for the MkIV "Long-Lever" British Martini Henry, this will also fit British Martini Henry Mk I, II, and III Rifles fitted with sword bayonet lugs.

Specifications:
Blade Length: 18 3/8"
Blade Style: Single Edged Spear Point
Overall length: 23 3/4“
Crossguard: 4”
Scabbard Length: 18 3/4"

P-1887 MkIII Bayonet

Received both bayonet and scabbard in fine condition. Both were covered in 130+ years of historic filth. Cleaned up nicely and now beautifully compliments my MkIV Martini Henry. Thank you IMA for your support of the collector community.

A Beautiful Bayonet!

IMA delivers again with this one. Cleaned up very nicely with their kit with just some stubborn metal staining but the brass and even the leather were in great shape. Bayonet fits my MK IV perfectly and overall I could hardly expect better given it's age, 1892 dated example here. Thanks!
