No.5 'Jungle Carbine' bayonet just sold on Ebay for $327?

[Peter Laidler]

The later grips through the Ordnance system were all that light coloured beech/birch type wood. Nothing unusual about the grips. I've got a big box full of them. We certainly didn't polish them to a shine though - or varnish them. Good condition though. Made good, matched off and a couple of hours in the hot linseed is all they got from us.
