Yes there are several Dress bayonets with etched pannels. No one is sure why these were purchased. Wayne T. offers 3 possible reasons why and who would buy these.

1. Militiary personal retiring from the military.

2. End of enlistment

3. Continuous Service.

If you don't have Waynes book, buy one, it has a lot of interesting pictures of the good etchs and some of the repros that are floating around.
