Ok, so the bayonets i bought yesterday arrived in the post today. There are a few more desert camo ones which i particularly like. In my opinion, they make quite a nice display

Just thought id share.

Thank you terry. And yes, it is a good "excuse to buy more No4's" and the entrenching tools (not that i really need an excuse).

What do you think student loans are for???? And you would think that what i say in the house goes, but my other half also collects which makes it even. However, i always have the "our bank card is in MY purse darling" card to play

As of yet, I do not have a No. 4 Bayonet that has been painted desert colour. Not certain that I've ever seen one in person, but living in the US, this does not surprise me. When ever I bump into a No. 4 Bayonet at an antique shop and the price is not too bad I usually buy it. I need a No.4 Mk.I (not holding my breath LOL), and the No.7 Mk.I and I will have all the bayonets for the No.4 Rifle (not counting the South African version from the 1960s).

Correct me if I am wrong - my eyes aren't what they used to be - but you have seven Lucas made MkIII bayonets there! They are a little harder to find than the common MkII and MkII* models due to the fact that they were declared obsolete in 1946 and disposed of. Many went out to other countries, especially in the Middle East. Well done, I love the No.4 bayonets! I've got to find another MkI.
