Hi Josh, the bayonet is an original parade or dress bayonet. Value is around £50/£60.

Don't be tempted to clean or oil any of these items.

Simply wipe off any finger prints with a clean dry white cloth.

Cheers, Ade.

Sometimes oil can cause greying on some plated blades. Much better to use a Musuem grade wax. Not cheap, but Renaissance wax is very good.

On a blued combat bayonet oil is OK.

BTW I forgot to add that your dagger came from SA Gruppe Westfalen.

Was your Grandad a British Veteran Josh? As they liberated the area. I have a SA Rohm dagger from the same area.

Cheers, Ade.
