This looks like a good deal, I don't know, I am not a C&R bayonet expert.

UPDATE - these are really Italian BM59 bayonets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beretta_BM_59

From http://worldbayonets.com/Bayonet_Identification_Guide/Italy/italy_2.html
--------------------------------------------------
"Knife bayonet for use on the 7.62 mm. NATO caliber BM59 selective-fire rifle and 5.56 mm. NATO Caliber AR70 assault rifle.
The bayonet is closely patterned after the U.S. bayonet-knife M4 . The grip scales are brown plastic. The crosspiece has a unique "hourglass" profile and a large muzzle ring to accommodate the BM59's "tri-compensator" muzzle device. The scabbard is a U.S. M8 clone, with the body made of fiberglass with an olive green gel coat. The belt hanger is made of khaki tan cotton webbing.
Not much is known about the production of these bayonets. The BM59 had a very long service life with the Italian Army, finally being retired in 1990. The Italian Army began using the AR70 in 1979 and it continues in use to the present day."
