    Opinions needed on Bayonet

    I have seen this bayonet which I think is WWII, but is not marked with the eagle and swastika. I would be grateful for any information on it as well as an idea of its value. It seems odd that it has a brass and leather scabbard instead of the usual metal type, but I know very little about bayonets. I attach some pictures.
    Thanks,
    Peter.

        bayonet

        This bayonet is for the Brazilian Model 1908 rifle. It was manufactured by the Germans. They are fairly common.

          It is model 1908 Brazilian for 7mm Mauser 1908 rifle.

          Most of bayonets with leather scabbards came before II World War.

          The one on top is the one from my collection.

            Thanks John and Rajko. As I undrstand it, this bayonet was made in Germany for a Mauser rifle manufactured in Brazil, presumably for use by the Brazilians. Pardon me if this sounds simplistic, but I am not very knowledgable in this area.
            Thanks,
            Peter.

              Yes, they still today use those rifles and bayonets for the parades.
