Ralph Cobb's page on Britishicon Spike bayonets is the closest thing that I've ever seen to a list of all the variables of the spike bayonet etc, Peter, and an excellent, informative website it is too. I'm not sure what made Graham Priest believe that the handle which is illustrated in his book, which attaches to the No4 and No9 bayonets, to be of south African origin but from memory I think that he stated that it had an S.E marking on it as well as an arrow. Is anyone able to confirm this as a South African marking and has it been observed on other South African kit? Would this handle have likely been carried by the user attached to the bayonet in the scabbard when not in use or separately?
