  • Description:

    Original India Pattern Brown Bess Bayonet.  Maker marked.  This example was built by J.& J. Oughton.  The piece is 21 1/2" overall with a 17 1/4" blade.  The blade flat is marked Oughton and shows the crown over 46 inspector mark.  See pages 53 & 54 of "British & Commonwealth Bayonets" by Ina Skennerton.  This piece shows overall light staining and fine pitting.  None of the corrosion is deep, so it could be cleaned or polished if the new owner decided to do so.  An excellent example of a 3rd Model Brown Bess bayonet.
