No 7 Mk 1 Bayonet For Sten Mk V SMG With Scabbard

~ No 7 Mk 1 Bayonet For Sten Mk V SMG With Scabbard ~

The No. 7 Bayonet was a bayonet primarily used with the Sten Mk V submachine gun. However, it could be used on the No. 4 Lee-Enfield, but only for ceremonial purposes, as the bayonet obstructed the path of the .303 round fired from the rifle.

The No. 7 bayonet was an advanced design that could be configured as either a blade or socket type bayonet, and could also be used as a fighting knife. It was intended to replace the No. 4 Bayonet in service and used the blade of the No. 5 Bayonet.

The design was finalized by Wilkinson Sword, who made 1,000 in 1944. The No. 7 bayonet went into mass production in 1945 and stayed in production for a short time post-war.
