Bayonet marked with Spital

Hi Fernando
a bit out side my comfort zone, but
I think Westley Richards were just contracted to Enfield to make the pattern 1853 Musket
commonly known as
Enfield pattern 1853, 3 Band rifle

Westley Richards were (and still are gunmakers) but I am unaware if they make an actual model rifle that was adopted by armies.
I am happy to be correct on this,
i would be interested to know if the bayonet was the same though as i am on the lookout for a Snider conversion rifle bayonet to match my Snider and a portugese version would be acceptable
regards
Ken
