The No.4 Mk.III was the final, and crudest, form of the No.4 bayonet. Produced between 1944 and 1945 only. The socket is fabricated by welding together seven sheet steel stampings, eliminating the socket forging process altogether. Even the spring plunger is a stamping. 196,200 were produced, by Joseph Lucas Ltd, Birmingham. It was declared obsolete in 1946.
Our stock is still packed in grease in the original wooden crate. I have cleaned one up for the photo but we will ship you one still covered in the original grease.
Please note: as these are military surplus there may be some colour, quality and style variation to the image shown.
