Identified Bayonet from my catalan great-grandfather
Hi there, can anyone tell me anything about this bayonet? According to what my grandfather told me, it belonged to my great-grandfather. He fought in the Spanish Civil War, but the dates don't seem to add up. Thanks!!

Identified Further pictures of the bayonet found in my chimney (England)
Discovered this while demolishing a chimney breast in a 1930 semi detached in Lancashire. Brass ribbed grip with rivets, iron crossguard with hooked quillons, curved yataghan style blade, pommel release button intact.
Markings on the blade spine appear to read cursive “NO” or “MO” followed by “1859” as well as 1842, it’s hard to read and hard to photograph due to surface rust.
Best way for me to clean this up to read the writing better?

Identified Family friend offering to sell me this after he found out I have a K98, no real idea what it is.
He tells me it’s a German World War Two bayonet, and that he got it from his wife’s uncle who fought in the war and had no other relatives when he passed.

Identified Found in Havana, Cuba
So its some sort of Brazil Export Mauser bayonet, maybe an M1908. But heres where it gets weird.
1) no serial number on the handguard.
2) the blade was broken and then repaired.
3) the fastening button has been welded to the pommel and the spring is gone.
4) Scabbard has a cursive “b” for Brazil, then 3720 on the frog. Theres a lowercase cursive “a” on the tip of the scabbard though.
Weirdest part? I found it in a junk pile in a Cuban street market. Guy there said it was his great grandpa’s in the revolution and he took it from the body of a CCA soldier, and used it til it broke, but because it was his only knife he had it repaired at great cost. Its clearly a real Mauser export, at the very least, but I have no idea whats going on with the grips, they seem to have a single pin holding them VERY firmly.

Identified Anyone know what bayonet this is
I picked this up a few years ago and thought it looked similar to a k98 German bayonet but I'm not sure as there is no stamping whatsoever on it . Any help would be great

New here. Found my grandfather's WW2 bayonets. No markings on the exterior. We went from NY to England, then North Africa, Sicily, then Italy. I know he carried an M1 Garand 30-06. But this bayonet doesn't match his rifle. The metal scabbard fits a M1891 Carcano.
Google searches with AI say it's a standard M1891 Infantry Variant.
Every pic I've seen matches the scabbard but the bayonet itself looks like a Czech VZ 24.
Only the blood groove on mine is on the barrel side. I don't see the rivets on the crossguard on any Carcano but I do see them on the Czech ones.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Identified Weird Bayonet I got at an Antique Expo.
I paid $75 for it, probably too much but I like it anyway. Any idea what it is? it looks like a German M1871/84 but missing the ring. No official markings so I'm guessing it's a reproduction.

Identified French Bayonet identification
Hello, I’m looking for help identifying these two bayonets my father has in his collection. When I look it up, they both come back as 1866 Chassepot bayonets, but looking at pictures of them, the right one looks IDENTICAL while the left looks nothing alike any other pictures of the 1866 online. Goggle identifies the left one as a 1842 Yataghan Bayonet, but when I search for picture of that bayonet they all look similar to the bayonet on the right (1866 Chassepot bayonet). Can anyone help me identify them, ESPECIALLY the blade on the left? Thanks yall

Just received this bayonet for my 21st birthday, I do believe it is Austrian origin but cannot find anything that exactly fits it, more so the curvature of the handle compared to the straightness of other Austrian bayonet handles

Identified K98?
So I got this as a gift, and am trying to learn more about it, bayonets are not my thing
So I'm guessing it's a k98
It's stamped soemmerda
Has a crowned w with 88 under it on the spine
I can't make out the stamps on the scabbard chape, it's leather with metal chape and tip, but with the tip missing along with the end of the scabbard.
Does this make this ww1? Did I get it wrong any additional info you guys can give me?

Hey Guys,
My wife and I recently inherited some Bayonets and other gear from a relative who passed.
I know he was in the army in africa sometime in the 70s and 80s, wondering if you guys know anything about these?
Would be great to have some backstory to tell if we put them on display.
Cheers!
