Try BDL. He has everything in his wonderful store - except leprosy!
On the subject of No.5 scabbards; I'm after a throat screw for one of these if someone has a spare or knows of a source?
Thanks,
Mark
It's a 6BA countersunk head. Should be readily available from any hardware or model shop
I made one some while back after finding the mouthpiece as a spare. Could do it again, I suppose.
The odds are that if the screw is missing, then the thread in the mouthpiece is stripped
The shortened No.1 scabbard bearhunter mentioned above is for the Australian Owen SMG bayonet. I've seen them on No.7Mk.1 bayonets a few times over the years too here in the USA. They fit well but are technically incorrect.
Got a No5 scabbard from Sarco. Painted flat black, came in a little bag with a "Made in India" sticker on it and a No5 bayonet didn't fit in it. This is the fix for them sending me the wrong item first. I guess I'll just have to go after it with a file to make it fit.
Still have been unable to find a screw and escushion, pair of grips with screws and escushion, and a scabbard for a Pattern 1907 bayonet with out going through the pain of Sarco. Doug
Sarco/Indian no5 scabbard doesn't have a spring at all. I give up. Doug
It does now......., I've just sent you one!
