I’m thinking man-trap ... or maybe guillotine. Who knows what people have at home :-)

Arrow?!

No. Remember this is a quite uncommon item for an individual to use.

Not quite that uncommon.

Ed, it should be easy for you to guess. The town where this was made is close enough to you that it is possible you have been through there a time or two.

Yes, the point is sharp but the edge is not.

Yes. It is a bayonet. I have been trying to put an image up. I am having the worse time to get Flickr to work on the phone.

Epee bayonet for the Gras Rifle. ?

I can only Google its history like you did. The family history is that my Mom inherited it from an uncle. I know nothing else about it except for what I have found on the web.
