A good friend of mine was recently given a very nice No4 Mk2 dated 7/49. He asked me what bayonet would be correct. Old Mr. "knows just enough to be dangerous" and with out doing any research said, "you want the little spike one." I told him that's what they were using at the end, they went from swords, to little blades, to spikes. So on my sage advice he bought a nice little spike bayonet for it. Then, after the fact I was reading and I saw a statement that said, in 1948 they had gone back to the short blade. I will need to make this right but would appreciate input from those that know. What is proper for a No4 MK2 7/49 (F) serial number 1224xx.
