My son and I were checking out yard sales the other day and I came across this bayonet, complete with scabbard. No price on it so when I asked about it, the man shrugged and said "Ten bucks". Of course I didn't hesitate. When I asked what he knew about it, he said no clue and that it was found in a box in his grandfathers garage with a bunch of other junk. My initial research says that it's a French bayonet but I'm not 100% sure. I took a few pics of it yesterday but forgot to measure. Looked to be about 20-22 inches long maybe. Inscription along the top of the blade says, "Mre d'armes de st. Etienne Fbre 1873" Maybe you guys can help?
EDIT: As I write this, I just found a youtube video of the same thing. The one I have looks used and isn't as shiny as the one in the vid.
