No. 9 Mk I | Socket bayonet for use with the .303 caliber Lee-Enfield No. 4 rifle.
This bayonet was made in 1951 at Metal Industries Ltd. in Lahore, prior to establishment of the Pakistan Ordnance Factory in Wah. M.I.L. produced No. I Mk. II and Mk. III bayonets during World War II, while Lahore was still under Indian jurisdiction. The blade profile is more rounded and the edge more crude than the British or P.O.F. No. 9 bayonets. Only a handful of these have surfaced, so production must have been very low. |
