British Royal Artillery Sawback Bayonet Without Scabbard

The British Royal Artillery Sawback Bayonet is an edged weapon issued primarily to artillery units of the British Army in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Characterized by its distinctive sawback spine, the blade was designed for both conventional use and to aid with cutting through thick materials such as wood or brush, providing additional utility for artillery personnel in the field. The blade typically measures approximately 18 to 22 inches in length and includes a fuller along its length for structural strength. The hilt features a steel or brass grip, a crossguard with a muzzle ring, and a locking mechanism designed to fit the standard service rifle of the era. This item is offered without a scabbard. The bayonet holds historical significance as part of the standard equipment for British artillery units and is notable for its unique combination of combat and engineering functions.
