    Question Help dating a bayonet?

    I purchased a bayonet, and was wondering how i would date it (i'm a new collector, and think it would be a good idea to start getting more info on the art of collecting)
    here's the info i know about it
    It is an Italianicon M1891, for use with the 6.5 mm.
    It was made at the State arms factory, Fabbrica D'Armi Di Terni (Arms Manufacturing of Terni).
    "GH647" is its serial number
    It has the brass-mounted leather scabbard
    Any dating/ value info is greatly appreciated, below are some pictures (yes i know that they're horrible, i only have a cheap ipod camera)

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Looks like an 1891 Italianicon Carcano to me. Different scabbards are available but the mark in the first pic looks correct. Just google the rifles and that will give you the production bracket.
