100% positive feedback from 25473 transactions. The bayonet must be the real deal! And for only $341, what a steal!

The hilt looks very German, but the blood groove is not located properly.

OK, that looks like the 1905 American bayonet with the hand guard/pommell and muzzle attachment removed.
The blood groove is located correctly and the hilt to blade ratio is correct. It has the "spear point" of the 1905 model. The 1917 model has a "semi-spear" point.
Which, considering we were still using the '03 Springfield at the beginning of the war, could validate the seller's claim. But it's pretty much worthless in its condition unless there is accompanying documentation of its authenticity.

Re: If you're gonna make a fake, get the date right
It depends on where you were at the time that it happened. In Japan and the South Pacific islands, it was December 8th. That pesky date line.
ETA: The bayonet actually reads Dec.7th
