The Pritchard-Greener Bayonet for Webley Mk VI revolver

10/05/2026

The Pritchard-Greener revolver bayonet is one of the strangest and most iconic improvised weapons of the First World War — essentially a bayonet mounted underneath a British Webley service revolver.

The weapon was designed around 1916 by Captain Arthur Pritchard of the Royal Berkshire Regiment for the British Webley Mk VI revolver during trench warfare in World War I. The idea came from brutal close-quarters trench fighting, where officers and trench raiders feared running out of ammunition before they could reload.

The bayonet attached beneath the revolver barrel and turned the handgun into a hybrid stabbing weapon. Most examples were made by the Birmingham gunmaker W.W. Greener, which is why collectors usually call it the “Pritchard-Greener” bayonet.

* Based on cut-down French Model 1874 Gras rifle bayonets
* Blade length around 8–10 inches
* Usually brass- or gunmetal-handled
* Fitted specifically to individual revolvers by hand
* Attached via a locking mechanism around the revolver frame and barrel

The Pritchard bayonet fit this environment perfectly. British trench raids often happened at night in cramped trenches where a long rifle could be awkward. A revolver with a stabbing blade was imagined as a compact assault weapon.

Very few originals exist.

Most sources estimate:
* roughly 200 produced
* never officially adopted by the British Army
* sold privately to officers instead

Because originals are so rare, they became highly collectible. Reproductions and fakes vastly outnumber authentic examples today.

The Pritchard-Greener bayonet became famous because it perfectly symbolizes the bizarre improvisation of trench warfare:
* industrial-age fi****ms
* medieval-style close combat
* officer private-purchase gear
* psychological weapons

It also simply looks extraordinary — a huge blade hanging under a revolver gives it an almost steampunk appearance.
