Hello gunboard.com members!
I can't say these identification threads are the most entertaining, but they're invaluable to me trying to make sense of this bayonet collection I inherited.
Here are two bayonets and one scabbard:
The bottom one isn't marked with anything but a serial number, and the top one doesn't even have that. I'm hoping the shape will tip someone off.
The scabbard has a leather(?) casing, with a thickly-sewn seam up one side, maybe with sinew?
I made a phototbucket account to hold these bayonet photos, here's the link:

I'm dying to know more about these, and appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance!
