Hi All

This item, recovered from a Britishicon army dump, is driving me nuts. Between us all, we have found about 70 of these things, (mostly in among the Lee-Enfield bakelite spike bayonet scabbards and Kerr sling buckles), but have completely failed to identify them. Some have speculated that they are an 'emergency' spike bayonet scabbard variant, or perhaps a prototype of such an item that never saw service. Others poo-poo this idea and see it as a red herring, and that these have nothing to do with spike bayonets.

Whatever they are, they have completely evaded positive ID. So, time for some help from you guys!

Do you recognise them? Each piece is no more than 2 inches from end to end of the brass tube, and all have five rivet points. These were either attached to canvas webbing material or possibly leather, but we are not entirely sure.

One thing is for sure, if you can ID them, you will make on group of diggers very happy......regardless as to what they turn out to be!!

Please help
