          Winchester bayonets come up on eBay occasionally. I just looked - there's one with a nice looking scabbard and a good W stamp that's selling for $295.

            If you are serious about finding a nice M1917 Winchester bayonet I would suggest you come to the Ohio Valley Military Society Show of Shows (SOS) at the Louisville, Ky. Expo Center Feb. 24Th-26Th, I can guarantee you will find a selection of Winchester 1917 bayonets. I personally will have two nice original finish Winchester bayonets on my table. No doubt there will be many more at the show.

              One of these days I should sell my Rem. 1918 I am not a collector. I need to find out what it's worth first.

                Bud, the 1918 marked bayos are worth a small premium above and beyond a 1917 marked Remington, but not enough to impress anyone. It was just a mismark and I reckon they did quite a lot of them before the error was caught.
                I have seen quite a few in personal collections. Now, if you had a P1913 Vickers bayonet...

                  Sorry but no Vickers anything, I bought the bayo as a go along with a Pattern 14 rifle never intended to collect any of it just complete it. Thanks for the info.

                    HI, JB White,
                    I have just been left a P1913 Vickers from a relative. Do you know much about them and there worth?

                      So rare I couldn't even begin. Only about 1200 made if I recall. Dont quote me on that. They simply do not change hands in public so there is no price line to follow. If you're looking to insure it, I'd go at least $2k in value.
                      More scarce is the Enfield hooked quillon trials version!
                      Scarce P13's also include the AECo and SAR versions from South Africa. Those can be had much cheaper since hardly anyone knows about them. The one I found looked as though it had been dragged behind a dung cart for years. Should've bought it since I haven't seen another on the loose since.
