What a GREAT couple of old school way back in the day pics. Thanks for posting Lawrence (do more SVP)
I saw them on twitter/X no details other than dated 1941
that pile is likely the bulk of the trial rifles....
Those are No. 4's. A long way in time and space from Dunkirk. That picture must be from the Longbranch factory.
Cruciform bayonet on the first one.
Second pic the bayonet looks longer than usual and perhaps from the bends that was an idea that didn't work out.
