The handle grips made of bone.

Yes, it looks like a naval dirk of some sort, but that construction is unusual.

What I can tell you is it's not a Lebel bayonet blade. The geometry is all wrong. The "flutes" on the Rosalie are much narrower and deeper, with side at square angle to each other and a radius at the bottom. The taper doesn't match either.
