it's a G.I. or post war cut down bayonet. Frog would of been worth $75. by itself BUT those brass tacks (?) bring down it's value. Bayonet is the MOST common variation & in it's present state worth $25.

Someone shortened it either to make it into a fighting knife or to make it look like the rare Japanese paratrooper bayonet. Either way, its messed up.
