the inscription would suggest Bavaria as the mention of Munich.

Paul,
Why do you think it is a bayonet ? I see no way to attach it to a rifle / musket.
(The French 1868 bayonet for the Chassepot has a similarly shaped blade)

This style was in use from roughly 1870’s throughout the 3R. Typically associated with the later 1800’s, I purchased a similar piece with a shorter sawback blade and a double oval Eickhorn mark (model #435), identified as a variant Feuerwehr sidearm.
Would love to know its true purpose myself, I dig the distributor marked blade too.

The blade looks like yataghan form, the frog hook is not typical for bavaria, should be compared by side to side, is possible the piece is a Faschinemesser of Bavaria for dress using.
