The ridges of a lebel bayonet are much thicker,compared with this blade the ridge is very thin almost sharp also the point is different compared with a lebel bayonet. Maybe it is not a bayonet at all but made in the shape it is specially. |

Then again~ what we could be looking at may be related to "Dague Miséricorde" style...

The blade could be something similar to this. This one is not bayonet's, could be a spear, alam or something similar. I've seen another Ottoman dagger with a huge ivory handle and short 4-edged blade - an obvious old retrofit. these types are not common and likely old put-togethers from different parts.
