March 6, 20251 yr #1 Hello, I'm hoping I can get some help here. Trying to figure it out a value of this.... From what I understand these are pretty rare. I borrowed this description from a member off the great wars forum. There's quite a bit of information about these but no examples for sale.. there is one or two in museums in New Zealand and the member on Great wars forum has two I believe... I've also seen one sale but it was described wrong and I noticed a lot of people at first glance think this is the standard model that wasn't converted with the push button on the right side... The best I have to go off of is the unconverted version sells from $6-800. Any opinions are much appreciated. Thank you Files are too large.. Information on this from the member of The Great wars forum. (Hi all Heres a bayonet from my collection some of you may have not seen before and find interesting. A Snider Carbine 2nd-type sawback sword bayonet, made specifically for the New Zealand order of Snider artillery carbines supplied by R.A.S.F Enfield. These bayonets were a conversion of the 20 inch blade Pattern 1875 bayonet for the Martini Henry rifle, with the modifications being carried out in 1880-1881 by Enfield. The conversion was expensive at the time, primarily as the pommel was replaced to bring the leaf spring onto the left hand side (to match the 1879 artillery sawback bayonet pattern). Records indicate that only approximately 2100 were converted....... making this one of the world's RAREST British Military issued bayonets)
