Enfield P14 Bayonet

[ptt811]

I just bought a 1913/17 P14 Enfield bayonet and looking for more information. According to a website it was British made for the US. It does have some makings marked out with the US stamp underneath. On the other side it has above the Remington stamp, 1913. Underneath the 1913 it is stamped 6 17
All the pictures I have found are stamped 8 17 ?
Does the 6 or 8 mean anything any different ?

Any input anyone has on this Bayonet would be appreciated.

The "1913" stamp is your pattern date.
The "6 17" is your acceptance date (This represents the date the individual weapon was accepted in to service) which means the 6th month (June) 1917.

The "8 17" stamp on the pics you are seeing is an acceptance date of August 1917.

I will try to get a few pictures up. It was in pretty good shape except for a little rust spots. My friend I got it from said his uncle gave it to him over 40 years ago. He said his uncle purchased it, he didn't bring it back from combat. My friend said he just didn't want it any more ?
