On the subject of No7 bayonets, someone ought to write up the full story about them and how utterly useless they were, the attrition rate, scrappage rate, internal problems and weaknesses. The only thing I can think about that gave them any sort of kudos was that for years and years afterwards they were used on the belts of bandsmen where the brown grips, screw heads, brass mouthpieces and scabbards could all be polished. But, alas, the rotating pommel parts of the bayonets themselves were epoxied solid!
