Any info on this piece my son bought? 23" from end to end.

Food Soldier's short sword? 1800's?

Not this specific one but maybe one like it?

It looks like a re-handled bayonet blade.....I could be wrong.

Looks like North African, definitely a repurposed blade and scabbard

I think it was a bayonet to start with and someone re-worked the handle.
