No. 7 Mk. I/L was used with the 9 mm. STEN Mk. V submachine gun.
Part knife bayonet and part socket bayonet, The No. 7 was a very innovative and complex design, with a unique swiveling pommel. The No. 7 Mk. I/L (spoken: number seven, mark one, land service) was intended to address a number of desires: Despite all of it's ingenuity, the No. 7 Mk. I/L came to prove the old adage that a camel is a horse, as designed by committee. It was also capable of mounting to the Lee-Enfield No. 4 rifle, these bayonets were not issued as such, only being used with the No. 4 rifle for ceremonial purposes. The grip scales are made of a resin impregnated cloth composite, Paxolin, and have deep finger grooves to allow use as a fighting knife. Examples are also found with black grips. 176,000 No. 7 Mk. I/L bayonets were produced. The design was perfected by the Wilkinson Sword Co., who produced 1,000 bayonets in 1944. Mass production was carried out by four manufacturers from 1945–1948: Birmingham Small Arms, Ltd. —25,000; |

Those bullets must get very close to the 'ring' upon firing?

That's why they were marked for "Land Service"! BritSpeak for "parade use only"! I checked this one with a nice fat B/P ramrod for clearance it makes it, but not by much! |

The brigade of guards band still wear the No.7 bayonet, I assume it replaced the 1907 Patt bayonet which presumably replaced the Victorian short drummers sword? |
