  • Description:

    An interesting and possibly experimental spike bayonet from WWII.  This piece is marked on the left socket No 4 KII* over P S and S Ltd. The front of the socket is also marked S&S and broad arrow.  The company, Prince-Smith and Stells, was the prime contractor for the MKII.  The reverse right side shows the marking V.N.S. over TRM3 deeply struck into the socket.  This was the name of a sub contractor,Viners Ltd.  It is unusual to find a spike bayonet so profusley marked as this example.
