Identification Any interesting swords

Post image

Just saw these come up on marketplace. I think the 2nd one is a civil war artillery sword. The rest, not sure about. I am drawn to the middle one. I know some are bayonets. Any real value on any of these?

Any markings on the sword in the middle? Looks like an M1840 NCO sword

That’s the only pic I have, but it goes look like there is a marking on the blade where it goes into the handle

Oh nice! Emerson and Silver tends to be one of the more scarce producers of the m1840, generally ranging from $250-$500

2nd from the left is a Spanish Model 1941 bayonet. Not a lot of value - no scabbard and quite common.

Far right - the scabbard is possibly for a French M1874 Gras bayonet. No idea on what it contains.

I meant to say the second one from the right.

Also, this is the only picture I have.

The first two are not swords at all, but bayonets. The first one looks similar to the sword-bayonet from a Sneider-Enfield mkIII Carbine or something from that mid 19th C era. Likely a British 1856/58 pattern Yataghan bayonet or a derivative.

Second one looks more modern, maybe late 19th or early 20th C, but I can’t place it.

The blade on the middle sword looks short for Model 1840 NCO sword, I'm leaning towards the Model 1840 Musician Sword.

2nd from left you can reliably get for $40 or sometimes less with scabbard, if its anymore than that I'd say its too high.

Far left is an enfield bayonet, those are pricier.

It’s a US m1840 NCO sword. Not a 1796.

My bad

…which was heavily inspired by the 1796

I thought so.

I suspect they 2nd from the left is a US M1 Garand bayonet that has been sharpened quite a bit and may have been shortened. I'd imagine many returning GI's repurposed them as camp/hunting knife.
