Thanks Tim, no problem Kai,
The weight is towards the heaver end for the mk.2 style, but thats also more usual amongst the apparently private purchase versians of these & indeed al;so more usual with ww2 rather than ww1 versians.
The templates seem to be the same as British army issue pieces usualy, but i wouldnt like to say they were made exactly to specification always as some have ivory grips etc.
The metal tang matching the wooden grip should always be like that on full tang models, never seen one not, the rivet is more unusual Ive only seen that a couple of times, although I also expect on some its done that way & just not realy visible due to fileing, grinding polishing, age , patina etc.
