Savage No4Mk1* 1942

Some bayonets for the No4Mk1 Lee Enfield rifle.

No. 4 Spike bayonet.

The No. 4 spike bayonet was the result of a desire to find a lighter, handier substitute for the venerable Pattern 1907 bayonet. Although described as having many advantages over the Pattern 1907, the No. 4 Mk. I bayonet was essentially a throwback, since with the exception of Russia, socket bayonets had long gone out of fashion in modern armies. It was approved in November 1939,with the Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I rifle. During WWII nearly 5 million No.4 bayonets were produced.

The No. 7 Mk. I/L

The No. 7 was a very innovative and complex design. With a unique swiveling pommel, part knife bayonet and part socket bayonet, the No. 7 Mk. I/L could be both knife and bayonet unlike the No. 4. It can mount on both the Lee Enfield No. 4 rifleand the Mk. V Sten submachine gun. The design was perfected by the Wilkinson Sword Co., who produced 1,000 bayonets in 1944. Mass production was carried out by four other manufacturers from 1945–1948 (Birmingham Small Arms, Ltd. —25,000; Elkington & Co. Ltd., Birmingham —20,000; Royal Ordnance Factory, Poole —30,000,Royal Ordnance Factory, and Newport —100,000). Although very innovative they were only ever issued as ceremonial gear. In total 176,000 No. 7 Mk. I/L bayonets were produced.

No. 9Mk1 blade bayonet.

The No. 9 was developed post-war and meant to replace the No. 4 spike bayonet. The first attempt to do so resulted in the innovative No. 7 Mk. I/L bayonet, which was never issued to battle field troops. Production commenced in 1947, even before it was officially approved.

ERA (Eddystone Remington Arms) Pattern 1914 rifle dated to 1916. This rifle has gone through re-arsenaling in preparation for WWII, but it seems to retain it’s original parts.

BSA SHT LE III* 1918. Again this rifle shows signs of re-arsenaling in preparation for WWII, but again it seems to have retained it’s original parts.

Savage No4Mk1* 1942. This rifle appears to be completely original in configuration.

PSA: Oil your guns!!! Discovered the room I was storing my guns was hot and humid. Luckily only this (cosmetic) flash hider was rusted. All my actions and barrels were fine. One bag was covered in mould too. I'm not the best at cleaning my guns but I do frequently oil them, which saved me a lot of grief this time... #Canada #India #GRI #Ishapore #smle #enfield #303british #rof #no1mk3 #no4mk1 #12gauge #norinco #sks #issc #mk22 #tacticool
