Hey everyone, I have these two edged weapons, one is a sword the other a bayonet. There are no makers marks on either one. There are some wording on the sword blade but I can't make it out. If you would be so kind could someone identify them and if possible get me a value of them.

 

Thanks

Bob

 

First is a view of them both.

Yep found it. It is the Spanish Modelo 1881
Yatagan Artillery Sword/Machete
. Use during the Spanish American War. Worth about 100 dollars. Now can anyone identify the bayonet?

 

Thanks

I found a stamped B.H. near the muzzle ring on the flat side of the handle. Well that is something my initials are on and old blade:) Hope this helps.

 

Thanks Again

BH is Benjamin Hannis, goverment inspector. The bayonet is the Model 1862 for the Remington "Zouave" rifle. For some unknown to me reason, the rifle has always been called the Model 1863 when the contract was issued in 1862 and production was started in that year.
