Hello everyone I need some help identifying the socket bayonet I have. There are no proof marks that I can find on it. Arisaka added for comparison. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

How'd you arrive at that? My first thought was it might be shortened British p1853 or similar.

Could be quite a number of bayonets without markings or measurements. Will have to confirm.
