Not Garand ... too long
1909 suggests the Springfield or maybe Enfield

Came out in 06 originally and used with the 03 Springfield. Later used with the Garand until the similar but shorter M1 came out with the 10" blade. Many were shortened to 10" in 42. This one has the later USN MK1 scabbard originally meant for the plastic bladed training bayonet but some saw service in WW2. Can't really explain the nickel or chrome finish unless it was plated for some kind of color guard or parade service.

Is probably a US M1905 bayonet for M1903 rifle, the scabbard is probably a WW2 production.Springfield Armory made in 1909.
