Nice John! I’ve seen these quite a bit on eBay and what not. Don’t think I’ve came across one in real life. But this is one that is definitely on my to get list. Along with a Mk I but those are pricey.

Nice Example , yes they look crap but that's how they were made.

Not hijacking Alex. Thank you for posting a very nice example, I did not know anything about them before buying and subsequently researching. Post mortem research on a cheap item is acceptable IMHO.

Completely agree with you John. I keep finding No. 4 spikes for next to nothing and can’t help giving them a new home. I’ve got more than a few double ups on marks and makers not including the Mk. I. Surely one day they’ll dry up and be worth something.

When I began militaria collecting as a teenager I bought a No.4 bayonet as it was cheap, about $5. I showed my grandfather a WW2 RSM, he frowned and muttered "pig sticker! useless." He was a P1907 man through and through.
