Without the sheath, about $5-10 USA; with the sheath, $20-30 USD.
If its frog(sheath) is all original like the bayonet?These are commanding 125 dollars and up depending on the condition of both.I just paid 135 dollars for mine.
go to: Jouster.com bring up knifes & bayonets and ask
10-50 US Dollars
How long is the bayonet? If the blade is long, (14" +/-) it sounds like a very early year Springfield rifle bayonet. If it is 10" long, it may be a WWII cut down model. IF the former, $250.00 or more, if the latter, $125.00. Condition (good or bad) can change values by 50% or more.
i dont know but mine goes et21009b, does yours have a green sheath and a marking that looks like a sword going through a gear?
sounds like a pre-WW1 Springfield 1903 rifle bayonet
Impossible to answer without a DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ALL MARKINGS, condition, finish, caliber, barrel length.
In english pounds they are worth £85 on their own (good condition) and more if in original sheath. Sorry if you wheren't looking for it in english pounds, just use Google convert or something if not.
SCABBARD is another name for a sheath of a sword or bayonet. (note: this may not be entirely correct hence this is from what I remember.) A SCABBARD (with 'a') is a case made of leather for a rifle, used with saddles. You can see it in every western movie. It's where the rifles are put in.
