Unusual plug bayonet

One further observation.
Although the blade shape seems somewhat eccentric and even 'crude' at first glance, if you take a line from the pommel nut through the hilt in a straight line and extend it down the blade it seems to exit right through the tip.
Interesting geometry.

I figured it out the wood looks about right hickory? A Confederate Bowie Plug Bayonet ? LOL :-) You would be suprised :-)
