I’d have to guess M1905 Springfield. Note the shape of the broken handle portion:

I believe Nhbenz got it. One of the ‘03 variants used up untill WW1. Looks like she was swimming for a while and whatever bent the hilt- bent it good! Thats hard steel!

That’s cool, sure is in rough shape for something a little over 100 years old.

Cool Find
I would say someone was beating that one into really hard ground!
