This is the No.7 mk1 bayonet, the penultimate socket bayonet fitted to the Lee-Enfield no.4 rifle. The simple No.4 spike transformed into this elaborate knife bayonet with rotating handle, and then finished as a cross between the two, the No.9, a knife bayonet without handle which served only one purpose. In very good condition with very good point and factory edge. Stamped No7.MK.1/L on one ricasso, and broadarrow and inspection stamped on the rotating pommel. Very good undented scabbard, correct steel throat and all of it's blacked finish, fitted into genuine 1945 dated webbing frog. A very original example of this sought-after bayonet.
