Thats a Model 1874 TURK sword bayonet , the handles have been replaced and the lock is missing, so probably used as a sidearm

These were made by the Providence Tool Company , Providence, Rhode Island for the Turkish Government.

these were one of the heaviest Yataghan sword bayonets made, they originally had pressed checkered leather grips and a leather scabbard with metal fittings.
