Hello Feldgrau,
Your bayonet looks like a home produced fighting knife, taking it's inspiration from a KNIL bayonet. The handguard does not add up. The hole in it is to small to fit the barrel.
Have a look at this site: Overview
Hope you find an explanation. Possibly non finished bayo made by TNI supporters in 45-50 era?
Cheers,
Emile
