I'm also interested in the naval provenance, if possible (the book showing the original piece as Spanish, that is). I know in the past they have been mistaken as plug bayonets. The small grip is possible, as midshipmen in the naval forces were as young as 10. There is a major lack of information on Spanish naval weapons as far as I know.
