This is the South African variant of the No.9 bayonet, last of the line for the socket bayonet fitted to the Lee-Enfield no.4 rifle. The simple No.4 spike transformed into the elaborate no.7 knife bayonet with rotating handle, and then finished as a cross between the two, a knife bayonet without handle which served only one purpose. Modern bayonets have now returned to the dual purpose role of a useful knife as well as an extension to your rifle when you run out of ammo, or just fancy a bayonet charge!  In very good condition throughout with perfect point and edge, distinguishable by the double-edged knife blade with no fuller. Perfect correct scabbard, no dents.
