Recently I have been focused on collecting weapons that fall into the ethnographic category but today I participated in an auction of European weapons from the Berger collection), so I would greatly appreciate comments, especially related to age and origin of the four pieces I won. To make sure that the photos stay in register with the texts provided by the auction site (and the Google translations) I will post each one in this thread separately.

Item 1
(a plug bayonet, I assume)

Lama incisa con scene di caccia e trofei (ossidazioni), eleganti fornimenti in argento, impugnatura in osso. Ottime condizioni, manca il puntale del fodero._x0000_ L. 56 cm.

Blade engraved with hunting scenes and trophies (oxidation), elegant silver plating, bone handle. Great condition, missing the tip of the sheath._x0000_ L. 56 cm.
