Is this World War 1 era Bayonet authentic?
 
How long is the blade on this?

If it is a British 1907 for the SMLE rifle, the blade should be 17” long and the bayonet is just under 22” OAL.

India adopted the bayonet as the Pattern 1 and cut the blade down to 12”. However, these either had the fuller running all the way to the tip, or were made without a fuller.

Blade Length : 10 inches

Weight : 410 grams

Total length (blade + Handle) : 15 inches

It's in India

Need a Price estimate too with scabbard.

Very probably yes, but likely WWII, as it lacks a hooked quillon. What is blade length?

Dated 1907 Edward was King of England, the blade so marked - looks right.

This may be a model 1943 bayonet for the Owen sub-machine gun. If so the wooden grip on one side would be marked “Slaz” (for Slazenger- the Australian maker). These were made either by cutting down a model 1907 (not your) or with newly made fullered 10” blades made by Slazenger.
