Bayonet identification

Pattern 1856 or Pattern 1860 Yataghan bayonet for the Enfield muzzle loader/Snider-Enfield short rifle or, if the muzzle ring is bushed, for the Martini-Henry. Measure the diameter of the muzzle ring to perhaps narrow it down. Shame about the condition, but still a cool bayonet.

could be an Enfield 1853 used on the Snider .577 by the Confederate army during the Civil War. I had one a few years back and sold it for a pretty penny to an America Civil War re en actor.

I sold mine 10 years ago for about $300.00. Less rust but without scabbard.

The handle /grip what is it made of ? Looks to be Bakelite/ plastic ? If so didn't know it was available in that time period. Wicked curve in the blade for swinging/slashing I would think , how longe is the blade ? Thanks!
The grips are thick leather and the blades are usually around the 23" mark. Prices are going north it seems.
