To identify a WW1 bayonet, look for markings on the blade or handle that indicate the manufacturer, country of origin, and possibly the year of production. Compare these markings to known examples of WW1 bayonets to confirm authenticity. Additionally, consider the design and features of the bayonet, as they may be characteristic of the time period. Consulting reference books or online resources specific to WW1 bayonets can also help in identification.

How much is a world war 1 bayonet worth?

To an interested buyer these can go anywhere between £2300-£5000, But Why would you sell such a beauty? __ Anywhere from nothing to hundreds of dollars. It's difficult to price a bayonet without knowing more about it. Condition, country, maker, whether it was used in WW1 etc all play a role in what the price would be. If you want an idea what your bayonet is worth, check out Ebay's militaria/ww1 section and compare yours to what is listed. This gives you a good idea about what the market will pay for your bayonet.

How much is a world war 2 bayonet worth?

You haven't supplied enough info to answer this question. Which war, what country did the bayonet come from, can you verify it is an authentic piece and what is the condition of the bayonet - these factors all set the value. It is very difficult to do much without specifics. For instance, a WW1 Solingen bayonet in good condition can go for as much as $400, but some listings ask as little as $80. Some of these may be replicas or knock-offs, so it is important to know what you're looking for. WW2 Garand bayonets are similar, and go for similar prices. The other problem is that there were very few standardized blades in WW1. Even the US that had more standard equipment that other nations in the early 1900's had several different blades. Just a few minutes of research yielded hundreds of potential blades, telling me that great care is necessary when you go to buy.

Where was the bayonet weapon used in ww1?

Hardly anywhere. Bayonets were originally developed as a infantryman's defence against cavalry charges. There were hardly any of those in WW I and soldiers quickly discovered that a long and heavy rifle with a long bayonet at the end was practically useless for close combat fighting against other infantry soldiers. So most soldiers decided to use it only as a knife. They often shortened it to make it more managable and used it as a tool, and - on rare occasions, since this was mainly a war of big guns and machine guns - as a sort of dagger in close combat. Although bayonets remained a fixture in infantry soldiers' standard weaponry kits for many decades afterwards and 'bayonet training' persisted in many armies'training schedules until the 1960s, WW I proved to be the end of the bayonet as an effective weapon.
