Nice bayonet. They, in a way, were very elegant.

They do look nice on a rifle. If you look at my hobby room photos in collections you will see it on one of my SMLE's.

Re: One of My 1907 Hooked Quillion Bayonets
I've been thinking of purchasing one of these but I'm worried about getting ripped off (Many are on Internet sites) with a fake, or a original bayonet with a replica quillion added. Any way of checking?
ATB, Chris.

Hello Chris,
Look at origional ones and compare. Take photos of any you are thinking of purchasing looking closely at the hook to see if there is any sign of brazing etc.
Dates are important as well. Bayonets dated after 1913 (British) are wrong. Quillion removed in 1913.
I have not yet seen one with a clearing hole but that does not mean they don't exist,
I will post some more photos of my other two one is in a MkI scabbard.
regards
Jim

Hi Jim, I have a 1913 bayonette with a hooked quillion I inherit from my grandfather.
You can see some picts I put in my site when I was trying to know where it was made and it's history. HERE
Cheers,

Hello-nice bayo-the P07 was modelled on the Arisaka rifle bayo-the Japanese kept hook quillons until the end of WW2 but they were always much more 'hand to hand' obsessed than other armies of the period.
PS =There were a number of hook P07 bayos made for the film 'Gallipoli' here in the late 70s-they're now quite collectable 'movie prop' militaria!

Although not really good at breaking other bayonets, i believe a lot of tommies used the quillion for hanging their shaving mirrors on or lanterns
