i think it's a German 1st world war sawback butcher blade bayonet, is it a 14.5" blade ? or it may be a Martini Henry P1875 Sawback Bayonet

Thanks SVT you were spot on with the Martini Henry 1875 sawback sword, it appears its a Mk1 trials version that was never adopted for general army issue

The blade is German made but is the bayonet is an UK 1875 model
mant of these were made for volunteer units (similar to US national guard) and show no military acceptance markings .
