A dress or "walking out" bayonet is never intended to be fitted to a rifle. It is always worn only on a belt, so mortice slot and catch are not needed. It is an authentic piece.

It appears to be the "dress" or parade version, but could be a Prussian model 1860. It does have a regiment and accountability number so not private purchase.
Combat bayonets are generally more...
