My dad was in the Korean Conflict, he kept his Bayonet and then passed it on to me.

Dear Kenneth,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the apprisal.
The presented object appears to be a US M5 bayonet with M8A1 scabbard for M1 Garand. This piece was produced in high numbers and is often offered in auctions.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 25 to 50 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
