Got these bayonets and would like to know value of them. Would sell if they offered fair value.The 1908 16 inch blade w/ canvas scabbard I'm told if a collectable keeper like to fine out what it's value is...Hope someone here can help.

Just edited.. the last photo is of one of several bayonets I got that are still wrapped in the cosmoline from when they were stored many moons ago. I unwrapped them partially to determine if the handles were wood or bakelite..bummer; wanted wood, turned out plastic.
Interesting parts of history.
The wooden handled 10 in blade was cut in a saber point and is a SA 1908 marked
The UFH has no date stamped on it.
The other SA is ` 1918 stamped

(Hi Pops. Copied this from your other post so all would be in the same place).

Pictures are incomplete, so this is just a shot in the dark.
16-inch with canvas scabbard, $200-275
10-inch cut down $75-$95 with scabbard
10-inch not cut down $85-$105 also with scabbard
Assuming all are in reasonably good shape, lightly sharpened, scabbards are not cracked, everything's original, etc.
Also, these are my estimated values, not prices; in some circumstances and locations, prices may be higher or lower by a few dollars.

Thanks for the info. Photos are limited by quality of camera to do closeups of markings so its clear. All but the 16 in w/ canvas scabbard are cutdown 10 in. All scabbards are like new condition and several are still wrapped in cosmoline. At least now I got a baseline to go by.
Thanks again.

Looks like the 16" blade was blued, or were they done that way in 1918?
