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:

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

I have never seen the eagle inspection stamp overlapping the ordnance stamp.
