Peter, OT question on odd STEN bayonet w/pics

[breakeyp]

Peter did you find a copy of this bayonet for the T stocked STEN in your prep for the book? I have temporary custody of an apparent copy/replica.

In 1942, HomeGuard Capt. A. White developed this bayonet to snap on the T buttstock STEN. The back tube fits in a hole in the butt plate the the spring clip fits around the tube. Unfortunately the book, Priest's Spirit of the Pike, mentions that there was no known method of locking the bayonet on tlhe sten barrel. Have you seen a real model in a museum in England? Are they marked? This one is a better copy than the fake example in the book. I wonder if any were made up other than the one in the picture in the book. Is this being made up somewhere?
