The Savage-Stevens Co. of Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, made approximately 1.25 million No. 4 Mk. II bayonets during 1941 and 1942. These were provided to Britain under the Lend-Lease Act. Savage-made bayonets are much cruder forgings than those made by either Singer or Long Branch. The Savage-Stevens plant in Chicopee Falls was where New England Westinghouse produced Mosin-Nagant M1891 rifles in 1915-1917 under contract to the Imperial Russian government. Savage marked their bayonets with the letter "S". Five distinctly different markings were used: 2 mm. deeply-struck "s" 2 mm. lightly-struck "s" 4 mm. "S" 4 mm. "S" inside a square 5 mm. "S" inside a square Savage was the only other maker to follow Singer's pattern of marking the spring plunger. Savage used variations of both a plain "s" and an "s" inside a Square More at: Britain - No. 4 Spike Bayonet

Thanks to Jagdpanther 44 for telling me what it fit, to Marmat for giving me its history, and to Urgh for the joke though I didn't really understand the army response. I salute you all. Totenkoph
totenkoph, on the army response,if the order to fix bayonets is given, you are about to receive a whole sh**storm of unfriendly guests. a good example is in the movie "ZULU"
