Several years ago, I purchased a 1944 oil-soaked, wire-brushed, dark-bore, "ishy" screw No4Mk1, condition somewhat less than advertised. I assume the M on the receiver socket stands for Maltby. It came with a cruciform bayonet marked G M R, No4Mk1, S M. The stylized M on the rifle and in G M R on the bayonet look the same. Does the M stand for Maltby? Someone told me the cruciform bayonet was a rare variant and fairly valuable. Is that true?
