No-one has suggested that you don't know anything about about bayonets, Peter. All that has been said is that there are some plastic grips about fitted to 1907 bayonets but no-one has yet been able to prove the provenance of these. It is unfortunate that we can't get an online picture of the example held by the Imperial War Museum. I could take the plastic grips off my 1960's M1917 bayonet and fit them to a 1907 to give everyone another example to look at but I'll just take a picture of the 1960's M1917 next to a 1907 bayonet which should suffice.
