Strange old Prussia bayonet, need info

[fnikodem]

A friend of mine has passed away and his Widow Jean, is trying to check on this old maybe Civil War sword/bayonet.
Handle is brass and blade is 23 3.8 inches long. Slot for rifle is about 3 3/4 inches long. No markings anywhere
Just the number 365. I have done a bit of research, but have come up empty. Any help would be appreciated.
I was told that it was a good chance it was european and around the 1850's.
And it does have a slot to slide onto the rifle and a snap to release it, to take it off
That's on the back, near the slot. No maker's name anywhere, but during the civil
War, the south had stuff made for them, and the country's wouldn't put any name on them. I have some pic's, but not sure how to insert them. You can email me at (fnikodem@yahoo.com)

Have found some new info…almost certainly a Germanic states bayonet, circa 1825-1850. Probably for one of the smaller states like the Grand Duchy of Hesse, Baden or Wurttemburg. It could also be for an actual city, as large cities like Hamburg had their own patterns of arms for their city guards. I have books showing a number of very similar bayonets, but none exactly like it. It may not be military, but for use on a hunting rifle. This was quite common in Germany in the 19th century, especially for hunting wild boars.
