Original WWII British No. 4 Spike Bayonet No. 4 MK. II* c1940s
The No. 4 Mk. II* (pronounced: number four, mark two, star) was a further simplified version of the Spike Bayonet, with the socket and blade two separate forgings. This lowered costs and allowed manufacture by subcontractors. This also disbursed production, mitigating the risk of production being interrupted by bombing. Two-piece construction gives the No. 4 Mk. II* its characteristic stepped join between blade and socket. The finish varies considerably between manufacturers, with Baird bayonets approaching the excellent finish of the No. 4 Mk. I and some Prince-Smith examples exhibiting rough tool marks.
The makers of the Spike Bayonet are Prince-Smith, & Stells & Co. Ltd., Keighly, Yorkshire
Condition: Time aged condition with rust to the exterior
Size: spike is 25cm long,
scabbard/sheath is 21cm long
overall size 26cm
Interested? Please make Miss H an offer.
Can be picked up from our Newcastle showroom.
