Looks to me like a WWI/early WWII 16" bayonet that fits the M1903, M1903A3, and M1 rifles. I'm sure the experts here will chime in with more specific information.
Not an Expert,But looks to Me like an original 1905,for a 1903 Springfield(and later 03-A3,and Garand).If that scabbard is original,it's worth a bit of money.Nice Find
Model of 1905 bayonet made by Springfield Arsenal. 1910 is date of manufacture.
The scabbard is cool because it is an original leather one modified for the newer style belt hooks.
The model 1910 scabbard was the first with those style hooks but it was covered in canvas.
Your original leather scabbard would have been "modified" circa 1910 when the newer scabbard was introduced.
I would guess a $300-$400 value.
Nice piece!:thup:
