Almost certainly the M2HB (air-cooled with heavy barrel, as seen in your first picture). Water-cooled .50 cal Brownings (M1921 model) were...
The No7 was intended to be a dual-purpose blade (bayonet and fighting/utility Knife) and rather complex and expensive to manufacture. It was...
There were three types of bayonets for the No4 Mk1 (in order from most common to least common): "Spike" (early ones were a cruciform pattern...
This book appears to be about WW1? To my knowledge there were no Canadian serrated knifes in WW1. Why did Canadians file down the teeth on...
