Very nice!
Start by reading Bayonet Points No. 23, 24 & 29 here:
Bayonet Points
Hmmm...we need Bayonetman's opinion. I'll change mine if he says that it's bogus. Like SKIP says, on-hands inspection may be needed.
I'm no expert (Gary Cunningham is the expert here), but IMHO it's right. Typical rough finish...correct grips. Let's see if Gary comments.
If it was mine, I wouldn't take less than $150 for it.

Good luck!

Jim,
Since we can tell by the photo that it's a blade-marked knife (not a guard-markd), next we need to know who the manufacturer was. I can't tell. Who is it made by? While these factors are not...
I also prefer Pecards Antique Leather Dressing.
Correct--M1912 picket pin scabbard. The o-ring was used to attach it to the saddle. Apparently a surplus dealer paired off a bunch of Krag bayonets with these picket scabbards a long time ago and you...
Thanks for hosting the CSP Forums. Glad to be here!
