Original finish on bayonets

What does the original finish on the Indian pattern 1907 bayonet? Is it flat steel or darker like the ones pictured here?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Thats the correct finish AFAIK, all the ones I,ve seen are similar finish.....

Agree with bigduke6. All of the short Indian bayonets I've seen have a blued blade. However, in Skennerton icon

's book there is one photo of a No.1 Mk.II (short, no fuller, round pommel) with a bright blade. The one in in the above photo is not a Pattern 1907 but a No.1 Mk.III as best I can tell.
