Yo Dude ....never think we could be bored that you more so than other new users has done their homework...nice to see that. Glad you attached the supporting link as well.
I can say that $140 US is a very good price as these bayos are now climbing to $500 depending upon condition and correct details.
The forum is fortunate to have some seasoned collectors within and surely they will be along shortly to comment further.
The timeline of the bayo and frog ..I would say ..the frog may have been added on later during the period as it may have been damaged or added postwar.
Matching numbers are a big plus
You did well IMO for $140
The Bayo Gents will have more to say.
Regards Larry

The piece is nice when matching, problem here is the sharpening as its not period, but done postwar, the cqh 1940 code is scarce to find. the frog is of LW type. the screw here were dissasembled as not well countersunk are mounted, so there could be mixed parts or not in handgrip area, but wout dissasembly its no more to say.The blueing on the piece looks ok, question is the price as its probably mirroring the sharpening minus, normally the price would be higher by not touched piece , there was evidently some damage in area of frog on screws so possible the frog was mounted on other bayonet, the frog has a typical wall hole on backside as it was nailed on wall for decades probably.Any frog could be used on this bayonet, but it could be a so called rig piece, when end of 1940 production was joined with 1941 frog.

I didn't even notice the sharpening. That's disappointing, but I'm still happy with it overall for its scarcity. Thanks for sharing!

You're happy with it. That's the main thing, but it is a low volume maker and not seen that often. Being a matching serial number set, that is probably more important to most collectors over whether the blade is sharpened.
