Believed to be a World War I French M1886 Lebel Bayonet.
The French called this style an épée bayonet because of the cruciform cross section of the blade - as in fencing.
The French called their bayonet “Rosalie” after a song.
Originally the bayonets had a nickel-silver handle and a hooked quillion. After 1916 the handles were made of brass.
This appears to have a nickel hand but no quillion
