Help with ID please
New here. Found my grandfather's WW2 bayonets. No markings on the exterior. We went from NY to England, then North Africa, Sicily, then Italy. I know he carried an M1 Garand 30-06. But this bayonet doesn't match his rifle. The metal scabbard fits a M1891 Carcano.
Google searches with AI say it's a standard M1891 Infantry Variant.
Every pic I've seen matches the scabbard but the bayonet itself looks like a Czech VZ 24.
Only the blood groove on mine is on the barrel side. I don't see the rivets on the crossguard on any Carcano but I do see them on the Czech ones.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
