I recently picked up this Chassepot bayonet locally but am puzzled by the fitting on the scabbard. I have had a few of these before but have never seen this loop on a scabbard, It appears to be contemporary with the bayonet and is very well executed and does not appear to be a crude field modification. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Thanks again for your speedy reply. The original is in that typically small ( and infuriating ) format of photos of this period. I ve looked under a glass at the pockets and the only one I can make out to any degree is the right hand man with the 'x' marked under him. His pockets appear to be unpleated but again its a small image so I can't say for certain. One things for sure though and that is they have just come from the rifle range. Wet knees and dirty boots! I remember it well!!!!!!!

The following goup of photos came to me recently with the information that they were taken by a World War 2 Reporter who was working with the Royal Navy. Unfortunately no other details about the reporter are known but each photo has had brief details written in black ink to the reverse. They are all of Royal Navy interest and I hope they may be of interest as i believe that they are all unpublished. The photos are as follows:- 1. Ark Royal 2. Graff Spee 3. Foxhound refueling from Royal Sovereign 4. Defender 5. Bartholemew Collimio being shelled 6. Broadside from Royal Sovereign 7. Eagle 8. Sydney-Australia, cruiser going into Alex after sinking Italian cruiser.
