Nicely done. Now why didn't you display that with your watches on Son's gratuitous photo thread? You would've been the winner.
Cheers

Top ones are breakers and the bottom one is a cutter
With thanks to ~Angel~ and warren, there was an interesting article from 2007 about these rare wire cutters, added to the United Kingdom - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here)
1917 No.1 MKII Wire Cutter for ShtLE Rifle (click here)
(Mounted on Canadian issued 1918 No.1 MkIII* Cdn ShtLE)
This MKL entry includes on-line videos demonstrating how the wire cutter works when mounted on an Enfield Rifle, as well as feedback from MILSURPS.COM member "warren", who describes its operation in detail.
