This is a lovely condition, USN Mk 1 (M3) scabbard for the U. S. M1942 bayonet for the M1 Garand Rifle. Technically, the M1942 bayonet is considered an M1905 bayonet by the U. S. Army, manufactured in 1942 with plastic ribbed grips. The M1 Garand rifle was designed to take the same bayonet as the M1903 Springfield rifle, so at the beginning of the war they were issued with bayonets originally made for those rifles.
