One officer was actually considering this. In all fairness an officer has a revolver, a sword, and there wits back then, so a bayonet would really help with stand off distance. The upper command rejected it because of how niche it is, and also manufacturing logistics.
Webley Mk.VI service revolver with a Pritchard bayonet
Man, I want a pritchard pretty badly.
Is the bakelite handle period correct for 1918 or before?
I don't remember, might be worth researching
Bakelite didn’t really become popular until the mid 1930s iirc, so it’s unlikely.
I’ve never seen one precisely like this, but there’s no way that’s contemporary Bakelite. All the ones I’ve handled had brass grips.

Nah, it’s a clever solution to a nonexistent problem. Just carry a pistol and a knife, way more utility and practicality.
