Because of very poor condition and missing scabbards, I would say $50.00 to $75.00 each.

The U.S. bayonet is worth well over $100US, Stateside. It's for a P17. Don't know about the others.

I suppose you could call them "buried treasure"

first question as to value: are you buying or selling and (2) if selling how long do you want to hold onto them...

I am enquiring for a friend...if he finds the value apealing, he may wave whatever sentimental value he has for these and ask me to offer them for sale. As for how long he wants to holde them for...he had them since he was a kid (raised in europe), he is now about 40 and not in a bind for money...so that will be his call when i report the info from this post.

Thanks

Bayonet Values

The only one worth collecting in that bunch is the P-17 bayonet if the press stud works and the blade is in good condition. Price about $70 more with
un-modified US scabbard. A Model 1907 scabbard will work with that bayonet.

The German M 1898 is too far gone to restore it. I would consider labeling it a battlefield artifact. Probably $40 to $50.

The third is a German Dress Bayonet they were bought through the German version of the PX. Only worth about $25 to $35.

If you are going to buy bayonets do some reasearch and spend your money on VG to Exc condition bayonets they hold their value. I have 400 bayonets in my collection at the moment.
