P17 Bayonet without grooved grips.

[old-smithy]

Is any-one able to post a couple of pictures of P17 bayonet grips that they know to be original and ideally on a bayonet that hasn't ever left the States, please?

the early trials p14's did not have grip grooves but the issue ones did to prevent problems,

Did not the P-14 bayonet have smooth grips and the P-17 the grooved?

early trials versions for the new rifle didn't have grooves but by the time they were issued they did to prevent problemns
