English bayonet?

[Dmir]

I met such a bayonet.
Overall dimensions - total length: 722 mm, blade length: 580 mm, blade width: 32 mm, blade Thickness: 10.5 mm, inner diameter of the crosspiece ring: 20.6 mm.
The manufacturer is shown in the photo.
What is this bayonet? English? Voluntarily?

Chavasse is a known producer, unfortunally dont remember is english or other country Belgium?, it was on other sabre bayonet stamped, anyway the proof stamps should be with crown when real for english use.it could be english inspired but used in other country, the voluntary would be wout marking, WF on pommel could be end mounting firm.

There are no marks of belonging to English weapons. Bayonet length 722 mm - non-standard? Maybe for sale in the United States?

Not English, French or Belgium probably.

It's not like French, the brands are different.

The British maker Horace Chavasse of Alma street, Aston near Birmingham-England ( 1860-1868) is known for exportation of M 1858 sword bayonets to the Confederation during The US civil war!
Quite a scarce maker, hard to find!

Thank you for the information. English bayonet. Sold to the confederates.

Ah, I didn't think it was an English but I'm not an expert on manufacturers so every day's a school day!

[Dmir]

I'm not an expert on English bayonets either. But the information came in handy. Thanks to this information, I found a good description. Thank you all for your help!
