3 Bayonets

[Pip]

I bought a group of military items recently and these bayonets were in them . I dont know much about bayonets and was wondering if anyone could identify what these are? One has a tag from a prop company and some paper work so maybe its a reproduction of some sort?

I'm not certain about the center bayonet but the other two appear to be non-U.S. You will have much better luck posting them on the World Militaria Forum: http://www.worldmilitariaforum.com/forums/

First instead of German looks Italian, 3rd I think it British or Aussie not sure

[Pip]

Thanks!

Will have to look later but is the third a Johnson?

I'm picking that far right is a bayonet for the FAL.

I think the left is a Carcano bayonet and the right is a FAL. The center one could be any number of socket bayonets is it 3 or 4 edged?

[Pip]

Thanks! The middle one has 3 edges. One big bottom and two small top

Agree about the left one being an Italian Carcano, WWII era. No idea on the other two.

The first bayonet is indeed Italian, M1891 Mannlicher-Carcano. The scabbard made in 1940. The lettering preceeding the 1940 indicates the arsenal where it was made, but I can't exactly read it. The third bayonet, which is a FN FAL Type C bayonet from the 1960's, could be Dutch. I cannot see the full serial number. If the number is preceeded by KM, it is Dutch Navy.

Thanks everyone!

Looks like the middle one could be a US model 1855 bayonet. It is missing the locking ring. If a penny slides through the socket, it will fit a .58 springfield. If not it, its for the .45-70 trapdoor.

Here's a good source for information on the various FAL bayonets.

With a stamped serial number, look on the barrel ring on opposite side from the serial number. If there is an "M" inside a "U", it is South African.

Thanks ! for the FAL info I do not see any letters on the inside

 

Thanks for the info on the middle one. It came with this part I wasnt sure if it went with the bayonets

[zzyzzogeton]

Not on the inside of the ring. I meant on the outside of the ring opposite the serial number.
