Having luckily acquired a reasonably priced Radcliff N187 bayonet off of Ebay for a reasonable sum I am now in the process of restoring it. I have purchased appropriate replacement parts from vendors in England. Plus a few extra's to hold onto for my parts stash. The original No.5 grip sets were a nice find! I received the last 4 sets the vendor had in stock, one set was not completely finished and is the best condition set in the lot. The set I will be using has one panel cracked almost in two which will have to be repaired before I use it. I hope the English economy is grateful for the cash infusion, because these parts are not exactly cheap, not to mention the shipping and credit card currency conversion fees. The other parts were appropriated as well, the grip screws and locking catch, plus a SA marked Savage No.4 was picked as well from the second vendor. Other than bobbing the locking catch screw a little when fitted and fitting & finishing the grips, this should be rather straight forward.
The only real question I have would be; are the grips stained at all before BLO, or straight BLO
