N0.7 Mk.1/L Bayonet

[Peter Laidler]

We had one of those lacing tools when our big parent workshop closed down and the calibrated 'bend box' for the bayonets. The staple legs were actually bent over the slots in the lacing tool as the staple was hammered in over the tool. Soft steel, two hits and it was there!

Does anyone actually have one of these "official staple/lacing tools" that they are able to post some pictures of please? I would be interested to see what the proper recommended tool looks like.

"official staple/lacing tools"

We had one here for a look a few years ago...do any of you remember? Here's the same discussion almost... There was some conjecture that Brian Dick had one of the correct tools for staples. https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=41344&
