Or quite possibly and not at all unreasonable a mid 19th century naval dirk. I have been researching what bayonet this could have been made from if that is the case, and I have been unable to find one with the correct sizing profile and fullering. The bold use of brass is also a very naval thing. ???? Interesting link.
