My point is that blued bayonets are not 1895 only (should have deleted the probably none from my post but got in a hurry :() The change was early 1895 so depending on monthly production numbers some but likely not many 1895 bayonets will be blued. Fiscal year and calendar year do tend to cloud things at times also. 
I have seen later dated bayonets that were blued, certainly after official service for what ever reason.
With this in mind I would want to look very closely at a blued 1895 bayonet.
I am not passing judgement on the bayonet in this thread.
