Lee-Enfield 1907 bayonet

[Peter Laidler]

Nope, not chopped/butchered No5 grips BAR. Re your thread 14, yopu say that you don't think those abominations of grips were fitted in Italy (nor do I), yet in thread 9 you said that they're original as it came from Italy. Can I put my bleedin' obvious hat on and ask whether the same butcher hacking the screws to length also chopped the angular face at the fromt of the grips when he was doing something else. With the greatest of respect to all those who disagree and who undoubtedly know a great deal more about bayonets that I do (in fact I admit to knowing bugger all) those particular grips were made and fitted by a bubba - or as we call them, a butcher!

Those grips (thread 15) ain't anything like yours. They fit for a start............
