This ended on USA ebay 8th Oct. Interesting? Appears to have seem more use than a souvenir? I had a long steel dagger with the same form of scabbard.

The top one seems to be from a french LeBelle. I think that is how it is spelled.

It looks somewhat like the Spanish puntilla dagger used in bullfighting.

Ok guys you had your fun. Bayonets are mass produced military by nature and since most of the examples are post 1900 and not really ethnographic in nature I'm going to close this thread.
