Looks like an Enfield, but dimensions are strange. Overall length is 21.25". Socket length is 4". No markings except remnets at base of blade.
Tnx

Maybe an English Pattern 1839 bayonet. With no lock ring it's an earlier 1800s model. At first glance I thought it was a M1816 Springfield but the blade looks more like the English style. I'm sure one of the experts will be along before long to tell us for sure.

Most certainly a British pattern bayonet.

Welcome to CWT from the Smoky Mountain side of North Carolina. Sorry but I can't help you. @ucvrelics

Yes pre civil war & British is as far as I've gotten. The 4" socket looks like it's made for a Brown Bess musket, but nothing else matches. Still researching. Maybe a colonial blacksmith copy of a Brown Bess.

I'm leaning the way of @Jobe Holiday and @captaindrew that its British, what is the opening size?

 

[Okc_bob]

Looks like a Brown Bess with land pattern shoulders.
I.D. of the socket at the bridge is 23mm. The total length is only 533mm, so not exact match. Left side of bottom of blade is damaged/missing/repaired, as it's not symmetrical.
