* Production figures from Arsenal Of Freedom, Wm. Brophy, and validated by Burton Kellerstedt with exceptions: (a) 154,467; (b) 56,175; (c) 55,198; and, (d) 185,900.

** Indicates where serial number are known to overlap the presented (lowest known) serial number of the following year. This was caused when bayonets were dated at the end of the calendar year, then stored for straightening, inspection and stamping with a serial number. At the beginning of the calendar year, when bayonets in production were stamped with the new year’s date and sent to storage, it appears that some of the more recent bayonets were brought out before the slightly older ones.

Low/High serial numbers are from research in progress by author.
