Ross Bayonet acquistion and question

[Flying10uk]

It's fairly rare to see any type of Ross bayonet offered for sale here in the U.K., only ever noticed a handful for sale, and so when offered a pair recently I snapped them up. Does anyone know if anything was done to the Ross bayonets that were supposed to have been used as fighting knives such as cutting off the muzzle rings for example? When a dealer offers me a bayonet that's incomplete/damaged and the explanation is that it's been used as a fighting knife it makes me automatically sceptical.

Is anyone able to confirm that all Ross bayonets started off as uncut as suggested by Rucker which would seem perfectly logical, please?
