This video examines the WWI Pritchard bayonet designed for the Webley revolver. Captain Pritchard's innovative but impractical design involved mounting a sword blade onto a gunmetal hilt. Initially rejected by Wilkinson Sword, the concept was realized by W.W. Greener using surplus French Gras bayonets. Approximately 200 were produced, intended for commercial sale to officers, though definitive combat use is unproven. The video provides authentication tips, differentiating originals from numerous reproductions by looking at engraved markings and casting quality.
