Alright, I know this much so far. One is a Ross 1907 and I'm not quite sure of the model number of the other (P17)????? The longer bayonet is marked Chapman as the maker but I found an RE on the scabbard which means Remington, correct? The scabbard of the Ross is marked RRCI (Royal Infantry of Canada or something like that)? Anything else you guys can tell me? The longer one also has a big diamond with a J in it, I'm not sure what infantry or battalion it belongs to. Also, any idea of value, I've had one guy I know ask if I was willing to trade anything on it. The Ross bayonet scabbard is penciled with what I'm guessing is the original owners name and address. It says "S.C. Cameron, Emerson, Manitoba #R59307".

The bottom one is a British P1907 sword bayonet made in 1917 + is made by Chapman,which is not a common maker.The top one's a Ross rifle bayonet made in Feb. 1917 with modified blade + scabbard looks to be unit marked.

From what I can see the Ross bayonet is for the 1905 rifle because of the small muzzel ring.
