As for whether these were ever used... An old friend said that his Grandad in WW1 was an elite tench fighter. He went into the trenches with two revolvers with blades on them. Not exactly a scientific and bonafide source (two young blokes taking in an AOL call centre) but the detail he gave about the blades on the guns is interesting seeing as these did exist.

and people are acting like pistol bayonets that are made now are silly... You never know when you might end up in a trench with more people to fight than you have bullets!

my thought is tho...a pistol fight in a trench or anywhere else you have a pistol...they can be shot one handed (and in super close fighting one handed would be just as accurate) so you could easily hold your revolver or handgun in one hand and a knife in the other. not like a rifle where holding it one handed is super awakward and hard to do..so yeah..also you cant holster a rifle...you can a handgun so...why is all i ask. it may be cool yeah but its not needed and if anything adds steps before you can holster and maybe pick up an enemies weapon. so you have to discard your handgun or fumble around with the bayonet so..ya see?

Quite right. The Royal Navy is "Royal" because it was founded by the sovereign's decree and was legally regarded as a privilege granted to the monarch by parliament. The Army, however, belongs to the British people, not the monarch. They even fought a series of civil wars in the mid-1600's to prove the point. Certain regiments and corps are designated "royal" as a honorific to recognize continued superior performance. If a unit has evolved from a "royal" unit, it will be also "royal". Example: the Royal Air force evolved from the Royal Naval Air Service. royal due its descent from the Royal Navy, and the Royal Flying Corps, which descended from the Royal Engineers

That webley with the bayonet on it is one of the most menacing weapons I've ever seen

I doubt it was my request that made you post this but thank you anyway, some bayonets I've seen are really unique and some stupid too so it's always nice to see more

I saw the thumbnail that had rope, a bayonet, and a webley and my first thought was a shootable knife...

Neat stuff, brother. Enjoyable. You seem to serve up the weird and unique, plus we get our history fix too!

I would have definitely been in favor of those bayonets being produced during WWI, WWII, and the Korean War that way British officers and NCOs would have an excellent secondary weapon along with their Webley pistol. One minor difference is I would extend the blade to 12.5 inches ( 4 inches longer)

Interesting piece of history

Nice. I was never much interested in English pistols or revolvers until I saw this. Surefire way to get my attention: add a blade to something! Now let me do some research on Webley pistols and see how they function and they price.

Excellent video!

Nice equipment.

I saw one of these in Ypres, there was also a bayonet on a 1917 revolver. Do you know anything about the 1917. They also had weird stocks.

Gotta love the early 20th century answer to "how do we make this weapon more effective?". Put a bayonet on it!

Because during the war to turn the kingdom into a constitutional monarchy the Royal Army was the royalist faction (hint: they eventually lost). The British Army won, hence they keep the name. The Royal Navy and Air Force (which if I recall correctly grew out of the Navy) have no such ties to the conflict and so keep the "Royal" appellation.

7:09 le *ding*

I wasn't there (obviously) but would imagine one of the big trench knives in the off hand a superior fighting combination. A revolver bayonet seems like several opportunities to impale yourself - not least if re-loading. I do admire the simple yet robust engineering involved. Something to bear in mind is the officer's other duties. Communication (often by whistle) and night time navigation (compass with a fluorescent needle) - both require a free hand. Relatively short numbers suggest most officers found alternate ways to address close fighting. By this time the officer's sabre is back in stores - a trip hazard in the mud and wire between the trenches. Also a give-away that the bearer is a high-value target. By the second (tin hat) phase of the war, officers tried to eliminate cues for enemy snipers. They'd swap the Webley for an En fiend rifle during offensives, and abandon the tailored uniform trousers for something cut much closer to the general issue,.

i wonder how well the handle/barrel ergonomics are that looks like a savage club spike combo anyway w/o ammo

Very very cool.

Is there any record as to how this was actually used? It seams that if you grasp the barrel with bayonet oriented in an ice pic type grip you could then also use the revolver grip as a club. Might be a decent melee weapon.

These are super interesting. Such a strange concept, putting a bayonet on a revolver.

Very cool

That's fucking awesome!

Wonder if can get one for a Charter Arms revolver?

Will Pritchard Bayonet work on Webley-Fosbery Autorevolver? That would be really cool.

Would this serve as a nice hilt/handle as well? seems like it would when you showed it up close on the Webley

I wonder if shoulder stock would make it easier to use bayonet

I can't imagine using a bayonet at the end of a top break revolver to be a very good idea. The pivot in the frame already weakens the gun's structure. You would be placing a fair amount of stress directly on the hinge as well as the hinge release.

Pls guide me about webley scott automatic pistal .25 calibre internal hammer 1912 make pocket pistal

I assume that it would fit a webley mark 4 with a 6 inch barrel?

Reminds me of Andy serkis in Deathwatch!

I want many, for every model of pistol , and shotgun and lmg and rifle

Want! The site says it's between 1K and 2K. How much for the bayonet and the revolver?

It is a neat idea that I always kind of liked. You can get modern pistol bayonets as well, and they would work just fine, except that it is far more practical to put a flashlight and/or laser on instead. Maybe I should combine a flashlight and laser into a bayonet and have it all! I can not patent that though, so anyone who can make that happen is free to take the idea, ha.

I've seen one in a private collection and that's the only one I've seen in person

Why is there a hole in the underside of the guard? Just weight-saving measure?

Looks cool and well made. Though I imagine the time you'd save by not reaching for your trench knife would be far exceeded by the time you'd waste operating a clumsy, front-heavy revolver. Also, regular knives allow for a far greater range of stabbing and slashing attacks, while bayonets are mostly limited to thrusting. On a rifle, the reach of a bayonet is a big advantage. On a pistol, not so much.

Can you open the revolver when the blade is on ?

So looking at it, I am not sure how you would hold it. I imagine the preferred method would not be by the barrel as it would be hot from shooting. I think you would at least need to change your grip position to get a better thrusting motion. Maybe you just hold it as normal. Any ideas anyone? I was thinking wrap your hand around the top of the pistol grip and over/in front of the hand guard.

Can you reload the pistol with that thing on there?? It looks like it won't let the gun break apart

Did anyone try a similar version that would fit a WW2 .380 Webley? Or was it deemed simply too impractical?
