WW1 British BEF Pattern 1907 Bayonet and Scabbard Sanderson

The WW1 British BEF Pattern 1907 Bayonet and Scabbard by Sanderson is an iconic piece of military history, representing the standard-issue weapon for infantrymen of the British Expeditionary Force during World War I. Crafted with a meticulous attention to detail, the bayonet features a 17-inch blade with a single fuller and a spear-point design, providing both durability and effectiveness in close combat. The blade is stamped with the maker’s mark “Sanderson,” a renowned Sheffield-based manufacturer known for high-quality bayonets. Accompanying the bayonet is its original scabbard, made from leather and metal fittings, ensuring the blade remained protected and easily accessible on the battlefield. This bayonet and scabbard set is not only a testament to the craftsmanship of the era but also serves as a poignant reminder of the soldiers who wielded these weapons in the grueling trenches of the Great War.
