Just picked up an undated W.K.C. bayonet.

No trace of a serial number or, date and does not appear to have been scrubbed as the bluing looks original at around 70%. Grips are a very dark brown, almost appear black at a distance. Any clue as to when these were produced?

I would call it a commercial bayonet though I remember a thread stating that the term is not the most appropriate. Mine has red bakelite grips but they may have been assembled with brown bakelite grips. The best thing to do would be to post pictures of the bayonet.
