Help with family heirloom dress bayonet please?

[Frogprince]

I'm seeing the things mentioned and noticed a few other things. There seemed to be some rounding of edges for a couple of the rivet holes and possibly a cracked and repaired grip?? Not in hand that's just my sense of it, and it doesn't mean I'm right or destroy the overall pleasing appearance of the bayonet. Best Regards, Fred

Hadn't noticed the rivets until mentioned and I think you're right about the reverse grip it does look like it has a crack in it, but still a nice side arm with good etch.
