British Army Jungle Carbine Bayonet Without Scabbard

The British Army Jungle Carbine Bayonet Without Scabbard Dated 1947 is an authentic edged weapon designed for use with the No. 5 Mk I “Jungle Carbine” rifle. Produced in the immediate post-war era, this bayonet features a 200 mm (approximately 8-inch) blade constructed from steel, with a single-edge and a spear point. The handle is composed of blued metal grips with two rivets, and the pommel includes a release catch for rifle attachment. This model is distinguished by its compact size and lightweight build, tailored for easier handling in jungle environments. The 1947 manufacture date, often stamped on the ricasso, places it in the early period of the Cold War and decolonization actions of British forces. This listing includes the bayonet only, without the accompanying scabbard. It serves as a representative example of British military bayonets used in the mid-20th century, reflecting adaptations to post-World War II.
