Looks 100% fake to me.
can u tell me y just so i know
Look at the markings side by side with another Model 1917 and you will see that the markings on this bayonet are just not the same. If you don't own another one, check out the pictures here:

yea it is fake i guess ill just keep it dont want to sell to some other idiot lol it was one of the deals as soon as i started looking at it i knew was fake but tryed to talk myself into it might be real cause the remighnton stamp and date are like perfect
I bought one of these for my collection knowing it was a reproduction. Interesting variation.
a reenactor might put it to use , if you were not wanting to keep it , be sure to list it as a reproduction for that purpose , no shame in that
do some of the stamping sometimes overlap each other like bird slightly over lapping bomb
I have never seen the eagle inspection stamp overlapping the ordnance stamp.
there is auction on gun broker i was looking at tell me what u guys think of this knife i think its legit item #158810121
but i never seen bird stamp next to ordance bomb like that ?
