  A real USGI M1 bayonet made for the M1 rifle would have different markings (& no serial number), & would sell in the $40-80 range.
  
  You may have a repro bayonet made for one of our allies, but without photos, there's no way to be sure.

  Garand bayonets have a green scabbard with a wire hook to attach it to the web belt. They didn't use a frog.
  
  Post pictures of what you have.
