Warren, the welds are poorly done arc. Peregrinvs nailed it exactly with his address to the Britishicon seller. This bayonet seems to be an exact match. Thanks all for the help. I will tell the happy owner to buy some pepper to give some flavor to it when he eats it. Blades are necessary, consider Marine General Chesty Puller who was not enamoured with the flame thrower demonstration that he watched in WWII. He felt it should have a bayonet!
