Maybe this collection is worth looking through!
The knife with the clear handle looks pretty unique - help with the markers mark? i cant read it. All images should be expandable - I was also wondering the maker of the usn kbar? most of the name has been worn off but any thoughts on any of them are welcome - which is your favorite!
Forgot what country and rifle the first bayonet with black round handle is from/for. Not German. I think pre war. Quite common. I got one for my son a few years back. Probably cost me $20
The knife with the clear handle is a "theater made knife". The handles are plexi-glass. Some GI probably captured this knife and tarted it up. Collectable in their own way. This one is made by F.W. Holler (mid war production?) and started life as a Kampfmesser of the Wehrmacht or Luftwaffe. I'll let the knife guys add /correct what I've said. But the scabbard IMHO belongs to the knife below. probably got mixed up. Given that this is a GI theater made example I think the leather sheath in the knife below belongs to it.
The third knife is a WW1 German fighting knife. Looks nice. Made by Ernst Busch. Again, the metal scabbard probably belongs to it. see the link below.

The last one is a parade bayonet. Will let the bayo guys provide more info.

The first knife is a Swedish M1896 bayonet for the M96 Mauser.
The USN knife is a Pal made knife. Can't tell which model without seeing the rest of
the knife. My best guess from what I can see of the blade shape is a RH-34

I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
myself around.
The top one is 1896 Swedish Mauser. Scabbard and frog appear to be correct. These are usually found in nice condition.

I'm not a bayonet buff as such but my bet is that it is for the Swedish Mauser M1896 and the maker is EJAB (Eskiltuna). I think despite the quite modern appearance it is actually pre-war.by MAP

Yes. That was a typo by me. Definitely pre war. I just didn't remember who it was though.

I must admit that whenever I see one of these my mind shouts "1950s" maybe because of the knurled and blued tubular grip which look so modern!

I couldn't agree more. My knew it was pre war because I bought one...but I guess the artistic side of my mind subconsciously told my fingers to type something else.
