Canadian WW2 No.4 Mk II bayonet made at Long Branch in Ontario. Long Branch produced 910,000 of the No.4 Mk II spike bayonets between 1941 and 1945. This bayonet is identical to the British No.4 Mk II spike bayonet. Only the markings and matt grey finish are different.
The socket block is stamped with the pattern designation and a partially struck Long Branch maker’s mark. The socket also bears a partially struck Canadian Government ownership mark, an arrow within a capital C. The bayonet and scabbard are in excellent condition. The bayonet and scabbard have a matt grey finish that is not often encountered. The matt grey colour appears to be the bayonet's original finish.
