Have you tried photobucket? You can make an account there and upload your photos, then just copy and post the "[img]" links.

The swords look like 19th century hunting hangers to me. The bayonet looks WWI era to me, but I don't really know.

Maybe of the more knowlegable users on here can shed some light on them.

I can't help you with the Hangers, but the bayonet appears to be a Japanese Type 30.

You know, something about those swords said the same thing to me too...but not an area I really know much about...

I agree with the previous posters. the first two are hunting hangers most likely. the bayonet is one of these.

Cheers,

Hello Anthony,
Both the hunting swords are from the late 1600s-early 1700s. The first one is missing the shellguard, and may be European, with that blade fullering.
The second one is probably English.

Anthony, as far as the value of your two hunting swords goes, I'll tell you what I've seen: recently a similar looking one went for $168 on eBay, while another went for around $800. If you go to a few antique sword sellers' web sites, you can see hunting swords similar to yours listing for as high as $2,000. Without holding yours, or knowing what you were looking to get for them, I would be inclined to offer somewhere between $200 and $400, IF I were currently in the market, that is Wink . Perhaps yours would fetch more, maybe less. Anywho, that's my 2 cents. Good luck, and neat swords!

Get ahold of the book "Swords and Blades of the American Revolution" by George Neumann. It is pretty much a photo book, with different types of swords treated in different sections. It has a lot of hunting sword photos, and you can find photos of pieces similar to yours. The book has dates, weights, measurements, etc.., and is a trove of information on swords of the 16 and 1700s.

Hi Anthony, I'm fairly sure I knew your Dad. I may have seen the swords at one time or another!-I don't remember.
Like Mr. Gregg said : I would have them in my hands to give you a real value.

P.S. Maybe Dick B. could help us out.

Well, hello there, stranger! Nice to see (and hear?) from you! Welcome to the forums! Glad another real expert is posting now - it's a lot of fun.

Are you going to the Linton, IN Trade Show this weekend?
