Re-hilted Bayonet?

Hello Jim and thank you for your reply to this post. I too really prefer "honest working weapons" over the more elaborate forms that seem to attract more attention from most collectors. Unfortunately when this one came to auction the seller had two examples up at the same time. Because of my low funds I had to decide which one to place the higher bid on and was lucky enough to win the one have posted while at the same time being outbid on the other.

Below are a few auction pictures of the one I missed.

Jim McDougall tells me "that finger ring identifies this as what is generally held to be a Central American dirk (Levine, 1985) and is from 19th c."

Rather than start a new thread, I will add some images to this one.
