Armaments of the Troops of the Royal Household, 1788-1931 Juan L. Calvó www/catalogacionarmas.com ARMAMENTS OF THE TROOPS OF THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD, 1788-1931 Translation by Hector J. Meruelo January 2011 - September 2012 In Memoriam of the CASTLE OF MONTJUÏC MILITARY MUSEUM Barcelona, 1963-2008 Victim of the unthinking eagerness of a “progressive” City Hall ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the writing of this series of articles about the armaments of the troops of the Royal Household I have counted with a group of friends who have always made my works possible by sharing their knowledge and making available photographs of specimens of interest; During this writing the passing of two of these friends has filled me with consternation and sadness. I specially wish to thank for their collaboration, Manolo Patiño (RIP), Eduardo Giménez Sanchez-Malo (RIP), Robert E. Brooker Jr, Juan Garcés, Eduardo Gorostiza, Carlos Baquerin, Daniel Abarca, Andrés Barnés, Victor Krenn, Jorge Parés, Manuel González, German Dueñas, Artemio Mortera, Juanjo Pérez, Alonso and Carlos Rodríguez Diaz, Lluc Sala, and Hector J. Meruelo for his translation to English. If, as I hope, this work should deserve the interest of its readers, thanks are due equally to my collaborators without whose assistance it would not have come to fruition.

  • International Military Cartridge Rifles and Bayonets
    INTERNATIONAL MILITARY CARTRIDGE RIFLES AND BAYONETS The following table lists the most common international military rifles, their chambering, along with the most common bayonet types used with each. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended as a quick reference that covers the types most commonly encountered by today’s collectors. A Note Regarding Nomenclature: The blade configuration is listed, in parentheses, following the type. There is no precise dividing line between what blade length constitutes a knife bayonet vs. a sword bayonet. Blades 10-inches or shorter are typically considered knife bayonets. Blades over 12-inches are typically considered sword bayonets. Within the 10-12 inch range, terms are not consistently applied. For purposes of this chart, I have designated any blade over 12 inches as a sword bayonet.

  • Why Collect Bayonets? Part I
    Collecting and Shooting the Military Surplus Rifle (2006) -Surplusrifle.com Page 1 of 4 Please make certain to visit our new Showcase of Sponsors! More! Article by Ralph Cobb Adobe PDF Downloadable Version of Article Why collect bayonets? Because it's a great way to add depth to your rifle collecting activities! Bayonets have their own rich history often separate and apart from the rifles they mount to and the search for bayonets sometimes leads to places a rifle collector wouldn't normally go. In this first article I will discuss how the bayonet came to be, different types of bayonets, how to get started collecting bayonets, and where to look for bayonets. My foray into bayonet collecting began innocently enough in 1998 with the desire to acquire a few bayonets to go with the rifles in my collection. As is so often is the case with collectors, one thing lead to another and bayonets soon took on a life of their own to become a collection in their own right. Bayonet bay·o·net noun: A blade adapted to fit the muzzle end of a rifle and used as a weapon in close combat. Word History: It is not unusual for a word to come from a place name. Cheddar, from the name of a village in southwest England; hamburger, after Hamburg, Germany; and mayonnaise, possibly from Mahón, the http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting2006/bayonets1/index.asp 3/23/2006 Collecting and Shooting the Military Surplus Rifle (2006) -Surplusrifle.com Page 2 of 4 capital of Minorca, are often found together on our tables.

Remaining in use with second- ary units until 1916/1917, three bayonet types were provided for the rifle during its official service life: a quadrilateral cross-sectioned socket form, followed by a yataghan-style sword bayonet, and finally a shortened and straightened version of this same yataghan bayonet. As such these three bayonets provide a classic illustration of bayonet typology for the period. However, their history and characteristics have never been assessed in detail, an omission this article seeks to remedy. KEYWORDS Peabody-Martini

    Collecting and Shooting the Military Surplus Rifle (2006) -Surplusrifle.com Page 1 of 7 Please make certain to visit our new Showcase of Sponsors! More! Article by Ralph Cobb Adobe PDF Downloadable Version of Article This is the second part of an article regarding bayonets and bayonet collecting.
