Hi Guys,
While I know the German Daggers inside & out, There are some items in this picture that I have no clue on.
I only recognize the Bayonet & US Knife.

A Lady contacted me from a Craigs List Post & wants to sell me these.

Any Idea what they are?? The Curved Dagger looks Middle Eastern to me. The Swords I am not sure.
Before I make a trip to go see these in person, I just wanted to know what they might be so I could educate myself.

I don't think that I will be getting better pictures unless I go and take them myself.

Thanks,
Scott

the bayonet is an argentina 1891 model. The curved blade knife on the far left is a gurkha kurkri knife. Im not sure about the swords.

The brass hilted sword is a Civil War Musicians Sword.

Thanks Guys, That helped!

Here is what I can tell so far:
1) Model 1891 Argentina Bayo
2) Looks like a US Jet Pilot Knife
3) Model 1840 US Musicians Sword
4) Gurkha Kukri ( Nepal )- AGE?
5) Old Sword with Curvy Blade?
6) Nickle Hilted Sword?

Any additional Info would be a Big Help on the items in Red.

Thank,
Scott

Hi Scott,

We could use better photos of the unidentified pieces especially the sword grip and crossguard.

Yes,
I agree. I asked & the additional pictures were terrable as well.
I will be seeing them in person later this week. She also found several more that she wants to sell, but nothing interesting.
I will post pictures if I buy the lot.
Scott
