The one on the left is a standard OKC-3S that had a portion of the scabbard fastened to the blade.The two tan bladed models were the first purposely manufactured training bayonets. If you look...

I've noticed this on many of the forums. I think more and more people are migrating over to the Facebook groups.

These new spare blades are not numbered.
I don't know if it is shadows or just my eyes playing tricks, but the US Krag looks like it might be a Sedgley.
I've been studying and collecting bayonets for 49 years. I've learned a few things along the way, one of the most important being that just because I haven't seen something before it doesn't mean...
According to Skennerton the cut downs are all dated 10 44. If I remember correctly, they also have an 8" blade, not 10" like the purpose made shorter bayonets.
Your item number doesn't appear to be correct.
That wouldn't work with this bayonet. The Model 1893 and 1895 rifles had a completely different bayonet lug than the 98 Mausers.
You won't find it there, it's a Spanish bayonet.

Best way to find out what they're worth is to put them on ebay and see what they'll bring.
This is a picture I had on my computer. Didn't have any close ups. I'll have to dig it out to see what it has for markings. I know it has a serial number on the pommel.

I believe your bayonet is a Mexican Model 1910. If I remember correctly the example in my collection is marked Republica Mexicana. I thought I had some photos but they must be on my computer at...
They made a similar scabbard for the M1 Garand bayonets that were made there.

There are two different scabbards for the Italian M4 bayonets. One is similar to the US M8 and the other is a cut down Vetterli steel-mounted leather scabbard.

It's not a reproduction. It's a post-WWII refurbished bayonet. Haven't gotten around to checking my files to see which country did them but I have seen quite a few of these. The flashguard is a dead...
It's a post war rework.
