An all original one, not converted to 308 or with one of those "safeties" added to make it importable is a nice find. I find it interested that at such a late date the French were still using a spike bayonet. At least the one on the No. 4 Mk I could be used on their entrenching tool as a mine probe (!)-and probably a candle holder. Several owners have made a tool for the nose cap by grinding a screw driver to fit.
Gunboards has an excellent French Firearms Forum-just remember to come back here.
