Local barber found this in his building years ago.
It's marked REMINGTON ARMS Co. ILION.N.Y.
Only other marking is the number 25 near the push button release.
Total length is 12 3/4"
Hilt is 4 1/2". Cross guard is roughly 3 3/8th". Blade is 8 1/4".
Scabbard is steel with a screw attaching the inner keeper.
Leather hanger is 6" long with a worn off black looking finish.

Might this be the Mexican Model 1899 Remington Knife/Bayonet. Also known as the 1899 Mexican NO. 5 Rolling Block?
Also should I buff and clean it off....or will that effect its value?
The local barber is interested in its value.

TIA
