Bayonet ...need some help identifying PLEASE !

[mopars0]

OK, here's a few pictures of this bayonet that my buddy came across while cleaning out his father-in-laws house which had passed away. Just trying to figure out what era we're in and try to get some info on this bayonet. That only marking on it is a star with half circle on the blade at the top, it has a metal sheath & with leather scabbard.

Any info would be appreciated....Thank You ....Steve
