Help with bayonet identification

[coyotebc]

I've got pictures of a couple of bayonets posted on another thread.
It was suggested that this forum may be able to identify them.

If those pics aren't clear enough let me know.

bayonets

First one looks like a 1908 Brasilian Mauser Bayonet...
The second is for a K 98 ...

Definitely Mauser bayonets. Any markings on the first one?

Top looks like a Brazilian M1908
Bottom looks like a German 84/98 third pattern c1935-45.

The bottom one is a german 3rd reich period bayonet like others have said.If you can post closeup pics of the markings on the bayonet + scabbard we would be able tell you what year it was made + by who.

The above was posted on my original thread

thanks again guys.

How common are these?

 

[dts369]

The top bayonet is not common but is also not very collectible unless in mint condition.The bottom one is a common ww2 german mismatched bayonet + scabbard which was probably reworked post ww2 by one of the eastern european countries that bought all the surplus rifles + bayonets after the war.
