At a antique gun show. Take your M-1842 musket and find an original bayonet that fits. A quality Italian repop will cost almost as much as an original bayonet.

And the quality re-pop will bend, count on it.

Some years ago I bought an Italian made 1842 bayonet from Blockade Runner.

My unit primarily does cavalry.  That bayonet does not get any use except in show and tell presentations for school/civic/church organizations so I really can’t comment on its durability.

I finally broke down and purchased a bayonet for my Armi-Sport Enfield from the Blockade Runner. After two years of looking, I couldn't find an original bayonet that fit right. (All too loose at the muzzle end.)  

The bayonet fits well, but the top flute only extends half way down the blade.
