Its a 1888 Lee Meford bayonet Mk1 type 1, I think this type (With 3 rivets) is quite scarce. The blade shows the remains of Queen Victorias crown.
In addition, just found this site which states the type one with 3 rivets is very rare. Lucky you!

Also, forgot to mention, I have the Lee Meford type 2 on my Martini Enfield carbine converted to .303".

........A nice one !

I've been researching and I can't seem to find a value on this thing. Everything I find has the 2 rivets and that's it. Any help in the area would be thanked.
