Folding bayonet

I'm sure it is a one off hunting piece. Certainly not military. I was hoping the characteristics of the folding knife might point to the country of origin.

The plug might be designed to fit into the ramrod channel, helping to stablize the muzzle end. The pommel has a catch for a lug to fasten the bayonet.

Exactly what i was coming at... to be honest. For the folding catch, it could be that it doesn't define the origin of the knife but that the inventor was inspired by seeing these systems out there. Note that he only went for a locking round pin; no ratchets nor single grooves.
