the mkIII was made up of punched and formed sheet pieces welded together [seven IIRC ] to form the socket , then the spikes were welded on [think those were from the sten bayos [i may be wrong here] , there were nearly 200,000 made by lucas ltd [they made the electricals in my triumphs] think they were the only mfgr ,
BTW the mkII was a one piece just like the mkI without the fluting of the spike , mkII* was the machined socket with welded on spike
mkI far right , mkII , mkII* , mkIII , no5 , no9 , no7 , - dont have the south african version of the no 9 socket with US m4 style blade

Atlanta Cutlery has these for $9.95 (US), but they do not come with the scabbard.
