Depends on where the bayo was made {some more collectable than others}, has someone sharpened them...you say condition excellent so lock button intact (didn't get to the states). Without pictures I would say $100 for bayo and scabbard in excellent condition and up.
I'm no bayo expert or collector of the things, but I have a couple of 1907's to go with my No1Mk111's
 
The "1913 Remington" sounds like a Pattern of 1913 for the British Pattern 1914 rifle as made by Remington during the Great War.

The 1907 could be made by any of several makers. Most common are Wilkinson, followed by Sanderson with VSM (Vickers, Sons & Maxim) making a much smaller number. They were also made by RFI (Ishapore, in India) and by Lihgow (also marked OA for Orange Arsenal) in Australia.

Prices on both of these have been climbing rapidly the last couple of years.

I need both, but I can guarantee that you can just about double what you want..... and get it.

Promised my Mom that I would try to be honest once a month.
 
Depending on CONDITION and of course rarity, they range from $50 to $200.

If they are without scabbards, not pitted or chipped, $50+

If they have scabbards that are torn, missing parts, chipped/rusty/pitted blades, broken grip panels etc., $50+.

If the scabbards are complete, not torn and sewing intact with clean unsharpened blades and all grip panels intact, $120+.

Bayonet by itself, no scabbard in VG condition $75+.

These are ball park figures. Many here still remember the days of walking into hardware stores and buying them out of boxes or 5 gallon metal pails for $1 each, in as new condition and 50 cents each for the lesser grades.

I bought 3 cases of 100 bayos/case for $10/case or $20/3 cases in 1965. This was dealers price of course but if I had bought 10 cases, it would have cost $50 plus tax. All I can say is we are all blessed with hindsight.

OP, smellie is right. If that Pattern 13 bayo is complete with scabbard and in VG condition, $50 would be stealing it.

The Pattern 13 rifle was the predecessor to the Pattern 14 and was chambered in the rimless .276 Enfield round. Not many of the rifles were built. That being said, the Pattern 17 was mass procuced for the US government when Springfield Armories couldn't keep up with production, when the US joined in the WWI effort. The only real differences between the P13 and the P17 are the finger grooves on the fore end and of course the chambering which is 30-06 in the P17.

The p13 bayo, fits the p13/p13/p17. They aren't rare by any means but they are not usually in VG to EXC condition.
 
OP, that is a Pattern 13 rifle bayonet. As such, it has a bit more value than a Pattern 14/17 in that condition.

The scabbard is OK but all the blue is worn off the metal. The blade is pitted, chipped and sharpened.

At first, I thought it might be a Pattern 17 bayonet but the scabbard is wrong. It could be a replacement scabbard though. During WWII, the Brits used whatever they had on hand to put kit together.

There is a 1-16 date on the blade and that would be to early for the Pattern 17 as well.

In the condition shown, IMHO that bayo is worth around $100 - $125.
 
Thanks for all input. I just re-examined both blades and neither is chipped, despite it appears so in photo. What looks like bad chips there is discoloration. If I post for sale I'll get better pics of the edges.
