There were various items of (non classified) paperwork along with a group of original press photographs, many of which have appeared in books etc ever since. Along with the well known photos were a group which were obviously taken at the time but not released in public. I always called them the "next one on the film roll" or they just were not the correct quality for release. ALL of these originals were sold years ago, however I had some reprinted at the time and have had them stored for over 25 years ! Although I cannot say where or when the originals of these were taken , they do form an excellent and unusual reference of uniforms etc of the period. These are NOT ORIGINAL but reprints of official WW2 photographs

SPAIN. MUZZLE ADAPTOR FOR M41 BOLO BAYONET Steel adaptor enables the M41 Bolo bayonet to be fitted to the M43 mauser rifle as used by Spain during WW2. Fits into mortice slot on bayonet pommel. Blued finish with some wear but not rusted or pitted. In storage grease which can be easily removed with methylated spirit etc. Evidently there should be a small steel pin through the tiny hole in the side of the adaptor for permanent fitting to the rifle, but this is not present. The adaptor will still fit to the bayonet & the rifle. Photos show 2 adaptors and, for illustration purposes only, an adaptor actually fitted to a bayonet. HOWEVER this lot contains ONE ADAPTOR ONLY and does NOT include the bayonet !
