Here are some pics of this super Commercial Bayonet, of note is the "x" is actually crossing out an early WaA proof, look hard, there are no external stamps. I suspect that this bayonet was rejected for military use at time of fabrication, the quality is fantastic! The leather washer was on the blade when I purchased it, the blade had old "grey" looking and pretty hard grease on it when I purchased it, cosmoline maybe?
Thanks, Titan

Is there any marking on lower ricasso or on spine or the small area when the edge starts? it looks like postwar rework from the color of blueing.
 
No stamps in them areas, I posted pics of all the stamps. I suspect it too be an early commercial bayo, very high quality and polish. No evidence of tampering that I can see.
