While I am not a free appraisal service, I will tell you that you have a fairly uncommon model 1915 "Gottscho" bayonet. While they usually have a fair value, this one has lost most of it due to a heavy handed cleaning effort. The grips have been either stripped, sanded heavily or replaced entirely. If I were to come across it in a shop, I would offer $50 for it.

I'm afraid Jim is right, it seems to suffer from a disgracefully over zealous cleaning. Too bad, it is a hard to find bayonet.
