If you haven't seen my other posts yet, I'm helping a very senior friend with his collection of stuff, identifying and selling things. He has four old bayonets and this is the least identifiable.

 

All it has on it by way of identification is a C stamped into the base of the blade.

That is a so-called "Yataghan" bayonet referring to that unique curve. I think the most common such blade is the French Chassepot you posted in another thread, but even the British had one. A lot of 19th century, early 20th century bayonets had many variations and my go-to place for figuring what is what is

Using their measurment info (not just for the blade length) can really help pin down what you have.
