🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Unknown Bayonet

[EnvoyToTheMolePeople]

I bought this bayonet today. It has it's faults, but it was cheap. Does anybody know what kind of bayonet this is?

What's the total length and blade length? Also besides the SN on the cross guard, is there any markings on the blade (Where the blade meets the cross guard)? What is the SN?

I know lots of questions, sorry!

The portion (Hole) that goes over the barrel seems to be pretty small, maybe like it's for a 7mm.

Italian M1891 Carcano bayonet. Knew I've seen it/one somewhere, I have one on my rifle, duh!

ETA: Corrected typos and added pictures of my bayonet and rifle for reference.

Ah, I hadn't guessed Italian. I tried French, US, German, British, and Japanese, but Italian completely slipped my mind. Thank you.

I knew it was European, and knew it wasn't German, British, French, Spanish, Turkish, etc. I even went and looked at my bayonets and missed the Italian one. Went and looked a second time, and then saw the Italian one and went "Duh you big dummy".
