Looks like a Portugese bayonet with a sawback to me. However I have never seen a WW2 era sawback.

Any input? Is it real? Any idea what it might be worth?

Hmmm....

It is a standard Portuguese bayonet (by the serial number on the pommel) that has been modified by adding teeth. It is post-war and was not done at manufacture or for military service. Not too sure about the illegitimacy of the date on the back of the blade either.
