I just picked up this bayonet at a barn sale, I've been trying to ID it but coming up short.
Pic related.
It is 4 bladed cruciform, 20" blade 23" over all.
The socket is virtually identical to that of an 1855 model US infantry bayonet but it lacks the marking and the blade type is wrong. Inside socket diameter is 11/16" or 18mm
The only legible marking on it is "v 851"

Socket bayonet used with the 10.75 mm. (.42 caliber) M1870 (Berdan II) infantry rifle.
Patterned after the Swiss M1863 bayonet, the M1870 bayonet has a cruciform blade profile and the, now familiar, screwdriver point. This example is a M1870 infantry bayonet, with the socket cut so as to mount to a bayonet stud on the right side of the barrel. The M1870 dragoon bayonet was shorter, with the socket cut so as to mount to the front sight, which doubled as a bayonet stud.
Developed by American General Hiram Berdan, the M1870 rifle and bayonet were produced in large numbers at the three major Russian arms factories (Tula, Izhevsk, and Sestroretsk). The M1870 served as the standard Russian rifle until it was superseded by the Mosin-Nagant M1891. Many Russian troops were still armed with the M1870 during the Russo-Japanese War of 1905

Wrong. Yours only has three blade surfaces not 4 right? Triangular not quadangular?
If quadangular then it is a Russian m1870 for a beredan but from your pictures it does not look quadangular
