Title Lovell's pattern spring clip for 1842 series muskets
Nationality British
Period c 1840s
Sold

This is the spring clip for the Lovell's bayonet, which fits under the muzzle cap of the weapon. I know it fits both the carbine and rifle, as I had an 1852 rifled sea service musket with bayonet and this clip could be used on that. This is ex-Eton College armoury.

I have hand cleaned this and it is in perfectly serviceable order, somewhat discoloured with age, as you would expect, ready to mount on a musket. This example has the 'P' bench mark struck clearly on the concave side of the spoon end.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

Wanted to let you know the items arrived today. Great job on the packing. Too often I buy very expensive and irreplaceable items from the UK and they get sent barely packed to protect them from the various postal services - appreciate you going the extra mile to insure it arrived in the shape it left. Thanks again, look forward to doing business with you in the future. Items were very nice, exactly as offered.
