I'm not an expert on daggers at all, but I'd have to say that its some kind of fantasy piece, just the overall look of it doesnt look military to me..... but what do i know? Maybe close up pictures could help? The bayonets look nice though

Thanks

Hi Pammy !

The first one looks like it was probably made in India as a 'curio' or
ornamental knife - not military, but if you can handle it for yourself,
you should be able to see if it is of any quality - I doubt it is though !

The other 3 bayonets are common types and in rather rough shape.
I think they are for some forms of Mauser rifles, but not Germany.
$ 20. each ?

As noted, the first is either Indian junk, or some priceless antique. I vote former.

The bayonets are:-

1) Turkish

2) Yugoslav

3) Turkish

The Turkish ones are possibly conversions of older bayonets - this was widely done in the 1930s

None of them are worth very much money - lots of them around.
