I've always been a bit dubious about re-enactors, especially those who do recent history.
That was until a friend took this splendid picture in Salisbury on the day 4th Battalion The Rifles received the freedom of the city.

Getting back to No.4 cruciform bayonets; I have passed up on a few fakes over the years which I now regret. They would have made a great database for collectors to be aware of.
The worst was a No.4 MkII * which had, what I think was a Chinese cruciform blade welded in place. It was so bad I laughed out loud, this was at a general antiques fair in Somerset about ten years ago.
