So I have 2 No4 LB marked spikes but both have electro pencil markings as seen in the pics.
One is NZA and one is N^Z. The N^Z is the usual marking seen on the rifles but I haven’t seen other spikes so marked. The NZA I have no idea on other then it is also a New Zealand marking that I just haven’t seen. |

Probably rifle kit, those may be the serial numbers of the rifles they were issued with. When I was company CQ, each soldier had his rifle and rack with a milk crate with his bayonet, mags and cleaning kit, the bayonets were serialized to his or hers rifle for accountability. So ya, maybe rifle serials. Cool kit none the less.
