I don't think it's a reproduction bayonet, Jim. I think it's a later third style, as shown on this page (he calls them Variation C)

The hooked quillion (I think that's the right word) was apparently manufactured by some factories almost to the end of the war.

I think that particular style would be a very unusual one to reproduce.
