This one is of the size of a small knife, very strange shape, have anyone seen a similar one?
A translation would be also very welcome!

Oh I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like an old Greek hilt and a more recent bayonet that was modified with etching and mated to the hilt with glass on top. Not authentic.

Good eye Jose!! I'm inclined to agree, the deep channel on this blade do seem to suggest one of the yataghan type 'sword bayonet' blades of the 19th century. Very attractive piece though...nice bling!

Yataghan bayonets used to be lot longer than this.
Is it niello on the forte?

I agree that is very suspicious but I am not sure that it is new

Fullering quality & blade length are not like the Yataghan bayonets of Europeean production.
