Any thoughts about this M1905 bayonet? The blade looks darker than the close up of the ricasso -- kind of reminds me of the Greek "blue" of the CMP 1903s from the early 2000s. Any chance this is an...

It's an 1899 Krag carbine stock with a carbine band. The wood is well proud of the buttplate and shows no sign of being sanded. It also shows no sign of any acceptance or proof stamps so I'm...
Thanks Tom. Appreciate you taking the time to look.
Not looking to make money since I have no intention of selling, just wanted to make sure I would't lose future value depending on my course of action. There's a difference. And there is no repair...

Personally I'd go with a .308 or a 7x57 over the 8x57, but that's just me. The biggest con I see with the 8x57 is that the choice of bullets available in .323/8mm is somewhat limited compared to...
