RARE WW1 ROSS Pattern 1908 Bayonet Type 1 MkI US Marked with Scabbard:
$299.00

This is a very early 1st Pattern Ross bayonet with the stepped back muzzle ring which has a smaller muzzle ring diameter and a split annual spring inside the muzzle ring. This acts against the muzzle and ring to provide a rattle free and positive fit. This bayonet fit the first pattern of Ross rifle but on the introduction of the MK II rifle the bayonet was altered with a larger muzzle ring diameter, no step back on the muzzle ring and the muzzle spring was deleted. This piece was marked/inspected in January 1909
