A Portugese Question

British New Land pattern ( Brown Bess ) bayonet had triangular blade. So did the french model 1777 ( i have an original flintlock musket with it ). Also Belgium and Germany. By the turning of 1700/1800 it was certainly the most popular type, as i notice in my little home resources. Also to consider that countries imported weaponry or model ideas from each other.
This is not to confuse the matter, but just trying to narrow the track.
