Well, I withdraw my guess, I think Swami has it right, I couldn't make out the ridges on the shank, also it is missing the wooden handle that locked in place to make it a true trowel when not used as a bayonet.

Just to avoid people calling me wrong! It is NOT the 1873 rifle or 1873 carbine; it is the 1873 musket, even though it used .44 cartridges and had a lever action.

I said Swami was close, but the Springfield rifle's bayonet had a different mounting end on it.

Swami's nearest to the mark
It is a Spade Bayonet model 1873. made for a Winchester 1873 First Model Musket .44 caliber.

This is an African "Thwak-Aak" It is a cosmetic tool used by the Mursi tribes; know for their exotic ear plates, to pierce the ear lobe. A Mursi woman lies down with her ear lobe stretched tightly over a wooden block by her "sisters", then the eldest woman in the village positions the tool over the ear lobe and hits it with a large hammer-like club producing a "Thwaking sound followed by the recipients loud "Aak!!" scream resulting in a two part sound giving the tool its name "Thwak-Aak"

to Scott Mayfield - they are not buttons on the bottom the finger stops - you put your index finger against the outside edge of them while using your thumb to work the lever. It keeps you from pushing the remote box off the table when moving the toggle lever.
