Turkish Model 1874 saber bayonet, perhaps for the Turkish Peabody, but I suspect these were actuall for a Winchester Musket. Originally pressed, checked leather grips, now replaced by a hand-stitched leather wrap.; steel bird's head pommel and cross-guard. Overall length ~28" with ~22-3/8" yatagan shaped blade. Blade is marked with a capital W (I suspect for Winchester). Pommel is stamped with a capital H, presumably and inspector's mark. Blade has been lightly sharpened.
Overall condition is about good to very-good; slight damage to grip and leaf-spring screw on right side (see images).
NOTE: No scabbard.
