As a socket bayonet collector I have gotten quite interested in the humble No.4 spike bayonet lately, of which I have a few. So I recently purchased a copy of Graham Priests 'Spirit of the Pike'. WOW!!! what a book, how on earth he found so much information on this humble bayonet is well beyond me!
It is a fantastic book. If you are in anyway interested in these often encountered bayonets, then this book is a must! It is well worth every penny, cent, shilling......
