Bayonet help for a Mk V

A square 10 wrote: i think we have arrived at the truth ...you bought that didnt you ? thinking a mkV and a no5 should both have a specific bayonet , its why you need to read and ask here first ,  the no 5 has a specific bayonet , it only fits that rifle due to the muzzel fitting , but the mkV was a trials rifle in the evolution from the no1 rifles to the no4 , at that point in time the pattern 1907 was still the standard , its the only correct bayonet , all others that you might think and might fit will be incorrect ,  that said - do as you please , we dont mislead nor misstate here ,  ill add the P03 might fit but it was for an earlier rifle ,  and the indian shortened might fit but they were for a different rifle far later , neither would be correct ,  you can certainly have a historically incorrect pairing and claim it to be whatever you want but those of us that know will know

Ha! Ha!

If I said anything inaccurate about the Mk V please enlighten me.

thanks shamu , i was about to say it differently , it is not correct , 

Understood and agree totally. I've never claimed otherwise. The P1907 bayonet is what I got. It may not be "correct" due to it being chopped but its still pretty cool and a part of history. Here are pics of my rifle. I understand the Mk V is a pretty rare rifle and I'm excited to have it. I believe the insignia marking on the butt is not original. Looks like someone put an reproduction one in. Not even sure what the correct one would be for the Mk V and I'm sure it's pretty hard to find one.

Yes they really butchered it. Other than that the rifle is excellent condition.

i also suspect that terry , by tye time these were issued under duress after dunkirk the marking discs were no longer the norm but a lot of buttstocks still had the hole
