2 old Bayonets & a "Fighting Knife" ? PIC HEAVY

ScottR · Jul 15, 2014

Anyone have any info on these? I found these in my wife's grandfathers basement. I think they're Mauser bayonets and some sort of british fighting knife. The reverse side of the fighting knife says "Wilkinson
Sword"

Wow, the leather frog is probably worth more than the bayonet! They are hard to come by

You have some money there especially the stiletto. I'll get back to this when I get to a computer.

Thx. Each Bayonet has the Leather Sheath. I think the fighting knife has one too, but its not pictured

Bayonets are German, for the K98k. The fighting knife looks to be a 2nd pattern Fairbairn-Sykes.

I hate you! I've been looking for that knife for years. Sell all three an you have a house payment. Now, go look in the rafters for the rifles!

Great blades! A little bit of info on the bayonet makers:

S codes used on bayonets between years 1934 - 1937
S/242 - Berg & Co. Solingen-Ohligs

Bayonet makers marked their full name on bayonets between the years of 1937 - 1940/41
F.W. Höller

any idea what these are worth? I see prices all over the place on ebay, and dont know what the difference is between them and mine. They may in fact be for sale, and I'll certainly offer them here first

They are worth what someone is willing to pay. Junk 98K's bring $80+.

Ones like yours are listed as buy it now, $300+. Some have been listed at $600 for a long time. Then you'll see they have 6 offers on them. That maybe the best route.

On the FS knife, first post better pics of the entire knife. Then pics of the sheath. Cheapest I've seen one at a show was $500.

Keep them unless you really need money. They will increase in value better then your 401K!

Good luck!
