Ross Rifle bayonet example added to Ross Rifle article, May 14-20 2006

Bayonet example

Example Ross Rifle bayonet made by Ross Rifle Co. Quebec patent 1907

Example Ross Rifle bayonet made by Ross Rifle Co. Quebec patent 1907

Handle detail of example Ross Rifle bayonet made by Ross Rifle Co. Quebec patent 1907

"Bayonet example" is submitted with images as a possible stub beginning for a Ross Rifle bayonets article that could possibly be sourced from a company catalogue, documents and patent. See images for example Ross Rifle bayonet serial number.

Between the years 1907 and WWI, there was a warehouse with this example bayonet inside, in a crate with 10,000± other new ones of the same patent, somewhere in Quebec or Ontario, Canada.

After reading the "Huot" sourced Wikipedia article for Ross Rifles, I am not convinced if this bayonet was made only for the 1907 'sporting' variant of the Ross Rifle just because the patent year coincides with that type. For example, was it continuously made as a bayonet knife for Canadian hunters, marksmans and snipers, 1907 to WWI?

In my opinion, a bayonet was probably a good knife for anything and may have gone direct to surplus army merchandise. Even though the 1907 rifle version most closely compares to the 7mm Mauser that the Ross Rifle was intended to compete with during war or occupation duty. Instead, for example, hunting and fishing use in Canada. Then continued decades of use as a durable used item, including edge trimming the lawn, which is what I used it for today.

The design has an interesting fastener. Some type of screw rivet built into the knife handle that a knife expert might know the name of. See detail image. The surface diameter of the hole through the side of the handle is 11mm. The width and length of the end of the handle is 20mm by 43mm. The overall length of the handle is 115mm. The length of the blade from the front of the hilt is 300mm±. Overall length is 415mm± (original length of blade un-researched).

My guess is that this particular bayonet in the attached images had a humble history - most likely purchased from an army surplus sale and used for hunting deer or moose, salmon fishing, or even used by an employee of a fish cannery, British Columbia, Canada, 1920s-'60s. Then was eventually found discarded, pitted with rust, or found at a flea market where my grandfather White purchased the bayonet as a knife. During the '70s he did not fish or hunt and did not clean or display the bayonet with his other antiques (leverites). The bayonet was left rusted in a can or box in the backyard tool shed to open a can of paint and change a tire on the trailer for his boat "The Seadoucer" only if nothing else was close at hand, Kelowna, BC, 1970s. This particular WWI era bayonet example was received, cleaned of rust, sharpened and reused as a tool, c2003-.

I don't think this example bayonet in the image returned as a WWI battlefield souvenier or went from Canada in a trunk for a Safari in Africa or to the arctic and used to make igloos. However, if I find out more, including any example dramatic uses and complimentary, technical, encyclopedic descriptions, this stub could be cleaned-up from being an eBay-like description and separated from the article Ross Rifles as a separate Ross Rifle bayonet Wikipedia-list-like article. Stub and images submitted and edited May 14-19, 2006. Reviewed and separated from Ross Rifle article, May 15-23, 2006. Scheduled completion of this temporary user page as an article by author. When I can afford time and trips to reference libraries and archives. My interest in submitting this article is neutral and for sharing an item description of military history interest to Canadians. The item is not for sale or available for research or donation and has no connection to paid employment or a business. "Bayonet example" stub and images not referenced from any article source including Ross Rifle source "Huot".

Sample text inside front cover

"Facts and Figures"

"Foothills Hospital overlooks the north bank of the Bow River at 13 Avenue and 29 Street N.W. Largest completely new hospital of its kind constructed in North America; 765,000 square feet of floor space; 2,000 rooms. Patient capacity: 766 beds, 116 bassinettes, 15 day care beds. Staff when the hospital is in full operation: 1,200-1,500. Cost: $21,000,000 for construction of hospital, School of Nursing and Power Plant — $5,000,000 for initial equipment. T-shaped hospital building, 12 storeys plus basement. The cross-piece of the T includes all nursing units. The back wing or stem of the T includes all clinical and other service departments and is 10 storeys high. A 100 bed auxiliary hospital is planned for later construction on site; also a 370 bed psychiatric hospital which will be operated under separate administration. Capital financing for construction was by the usual Federal Provincial grants plus a $17 million debenture issue to be retired by the Provincial Government over a 20 year period. Operation costs will be met by the standard per diem payments made under Alberta Hospitalization benefits. Complete hospital control is vested in the board of Management."

added link from user page to Canadian bayonets article June 16 2006

checked "my watchlist" for the first time to link to a new article. noticed there actually is a Ross Rifle bayonet article! www.canadiansoldiers.com/mediawiki-1.5.5/index.php?title=Bayonets Feb 21 2006!? 373 accesses. noticed that my late grandfather's bayonet is missing the attachment for the rifle. obviously been clamped into a workbench vice and sawed off. quite a bit missing from the blade. whatever it was used for it was used a lot. either for yard and gardening work and likely even house building work in Kelowna, '45 to c'55. or it really was used in a cannery on the west coast of BC. now I know what the holster looks like. at a closer look, it looks like the blade and hilt is 3 pieces; the blade, the butt and the attachment. not a wiggle in the metal anywhere despite the rusty blade and a slight bend to it. whatever the blade got on it the hilt didn't. still not sure what that curly-cue is at the bottom. to rest on the table at the top of the trench? or to keep the whole rifle from going through the shield? should be good for edge trimming the lawn for a few more years in Calgary. Now where do I buy the book and the replica with the holster? I've seen a lot of Lord of the Rings swords but no Ross Rifle bayonets.

1966 Example summary of national economic improvement in Canada, 1961-1966

It was also a stormy year on the labor front. Strikes, strike threats or lockouts hit almost every major industry. Some of these disputes were settled by direct Government intervention. The terms were so generous that the peacemakers were criticized for setting a dangerously high pattern for future negotiations. Thoughtful people in both management and labor expressed growing dissatisfaction with the present piecemeal method of handling labor problems of automation and its effects. However, none of these dissensions or disturbances had any marked effect on industrial production. Nor did they interrupt seriously the economic upswing that began in 1961 and has become the longest sustained advance since World War II.
