In general, The First Contract bayonets had the step in the blade. The blades were also bright (vs. black). Also in general, the Second Contract bayonets all have black oxide blades and no step in the blade. However, there were a small number of First Contract bayonets made with bright Second Contract blades (about 1000) and a smaller number of Second Contract bayonets made with dark first contract blades (about 300).
