Chrome plated L1A1 SLR bayonet

[Flying10uk]

I recently noticed this L1A1 bayonet advertised for sale at a reduce price because the button/catch is missing. No mention was made, in the advert, that the blade is clearly chrome plated, indicating ceremonial use and I noticed the chrome from the vendor's pictures. I didn't have a ceremonial L1A1 SLR bayonet in my collection and because they don't turn up often I though that this would be a good purchase, even with no button/catch.

N.B. The condition seen here is how I have received it with no restoration or cleaning.
