Twenty years ago (if your friend was right about when he baught it) these bayonets with the US 2nd Pattern scabbard like this one were common and selling for about $15. No reason for anyone to make repops back then - it is beyond the shadow of a doubt real. The scabbard is a US scabbard and the Canadian Property Mark is very hard to find on a M1917 bayonet.
Here is a link to an excellent article on the scabbards for the US M1917 bayonet:

Gary Cunningham knows his stuff when it comes to bayonets, click on small images to get them full size. Enjoy!

Thank you for all of your responses. I really appreciate your help. That website is great. I really, really lucked out having a good friend who enjoys vintage rifles as much as I do.
