    Please help identify some edged weapons !!

    Hello!
    I am a firearms collector from Poland and this is my first post on the forum. I don't have a lot of edged weapons, just a few bayonets and some german imperial items. I also have a few unidentified things, that belonged to my family members. I was trying to identify these things but I didn't get a final answer. I was looking for a international forum, maybe you collectors can help me. I don't know if these are even military items...
    The first piece was brought as a souvenir from Spain in 1990's. It was bought in a local antique shop. It might be a corrida piece but I am not sure. The second piece was found with some imperial german edged weapons after the war. I am not sure if this is military item or not (it seems to be). The last thing, a dagger of some kind, was bought in a local polish antique shop in 1980's. This is actually the most interesting item for me, but I also don't know what this might be.
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and help !
    Greetings from Poland

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    The center one is a spear head, could it be a boar spear from Germanyicon? Since it was in with that ilk... The first one almost looks like a stage sword of some kind. Not a real sword. The last looks like almost a letter opener in a triangular bayonet scabbard. The scabbard would actually be worth selling for collectors of those type of bayonets. The spear head would be a nice piece too...

    Thank you very much for your reply. I believe this might be true, especially theory about boar spear from germany. I don't think however, that this dagger is a letter opener. It is very long, it came with this scabbard and most of all it is "to thick", doesn't have a "sharp edge". It is like a spike with "channel for blood".

    Not exactly letters, but it's hard to say if it was meant for fighting...can't tell.
