I just purchased a small collection of original German knives, I have not been able to ID 2 of them. The long German Hunting Association dagger and the short bayonet (the 2 knives on the bottom) I think it's possible the short bayonet is not German. I can not find any info on the hunting dagger, I have seen some that were close but not exactly the same. Any help would be appreciated.
The short bayonet looks Japanese to me.
I'm pretty sure the bayonet is a version of the 1888 Austrian NCO bayonet. The NCO versions had the hooked quillion and ring in the pommel, and are very collectable.
