bayonet collectors help?

Actually, the ball-tipped crossguard on the second (white handled) blade more closely resembles the Turkish 1903 quillback bayonet, but I agree the longer one appears a native blade in the style of a "Rosalie" 1886 bayonet, or the Mle 92 Berthier Carbine Bayonet.

Really, when you talk about handcrafted blades, there's a lot of stylistic license involved, so it could be either, or an amalgam of both.

HA, look at me, the mass-produced-blades guy, finally being sorta-relevant and helpful!
