Billy G - No specific time period, just a thought that I don't see why a "sword eagle" could not be found on a police bayonet. You find really well defined eagles and some that are truly ugly and almost childish looking. Perhaps C & J occasionally ran out of the normal eagles. I don't see a problem. Why did Lauterjung normally, but not always, use two strands of twisted wire on their Marine daggers?
The grips, rivets, and eagle/placement on your bayonet and the one owned by Heer68 both look perfectly acceptable to me. But as I said, I am no expert.
