    $100-$200 depending on what you mean by hanger - just the hanger? No scabbard?

          I'm NO price expert on bayonets, but I'd value the total assembly as 60%blade/40%scabbard, unless the scabbard were rare, then that could flip-flop, or even more.

          The variation is in the scabbards and frogs, as the blades are pretty much all the same. Minty assemblies can go $275 in my area - haven't seen a set for $100 in a very long time. I'd browse eBay and Gunbroker, too.

              Have a trapdoor rifle and the bayonet has no scabbard, but then it's a rod bayonet! LOL
