Not that it isn't obvious but you wouldn't believe the amount of times I've tried researching something I have (sometimes many times) only to find the information myself like 3 minutes after I post about it (usually because of search results getting shuffled or using slightly different wording giving me completely new results or sometimes finding a marking I have never once noticed before) and feel stupid lol.

To continue making it into a knife or to make it a bayonet again? Walnut is always a nice wood. See if you can find a guy at a local flea market that sells kiln dried wood or if a flea market has a wood craft/furniture day you can go to. Used to have a local guy who sold kiln dried blanks for pens, knife scales, and knife handles. Couple bucks at most but had really nice grain and pattern to them. Like $10 per at most. To make it a bayonet again, good luck. In that case hope to god it was imported wood scales because Australia has some native stuff you'll almost never see over here. And really cool shit I wish we could get, too.
