A nice couple of knives. It appears the HJ was denazified, it's a pity someone decided to fill the space as appears the grip has been removed, based on wear around rivet ends.But it is a late production HJ. The trench dagger is interesting as it appears to have a nickel plated scabbard, which is unusual. And the blade has been sharpened more than once, suggesting it was used. If blades could talk? Both would actually clean up well.

The "trench" knife or "fighting knife" or whatever you want to call it, is probably 1930's manufactured. These evolved in shape and with less of the birdhead hilt and no fake button IMO places it more 1930's than say 1920's. Also it's clearly not a bayonet, but a dagger.
Here's an interesting older thread, try searching "Imperial fighting knife" (sorry don't have the link)

The emblem pins also simply fell out of the handles on HJ knives due to the 2 brass retaining clips breaking. It may have simply been a casualty ?
