Do you recognize this bayonette?

This is coming up at auction tomorrow, it's the only picture available. If you know the era and country, maybe I can put a bid on it. They're only giving a 1 hour preview. That's hardly enough time to see everything, let alone put a value on it.
*EDIT* Added a 2nd pic of three pieces. Anything recognizable here?

The top picture ..the bayonet short sword w/ aluminum grip is a Argentine military bayonet worth approx. $45.00-75.00 ($75.00 ish if the country Logo is not ground-off & in V-Good + condition) The other 2 are poor pics to make a call on but look like a german sword & long dagger ..Hard to tell if reproductions w/ poor pictures tho..

Wow, you nailed it, as far as I can tell. I read up on the bayonet and now know what to look for - thanks!

I see eBay has lots of fakes of the German swords and the collectors spot them a mile away. I'll see if I can get better pics tomorrow.

I agree Argentinian Model 1891 Army Mauser bayonet, I say Army due to the silver handle, had the handle been brass in color it would have been a Navy version.

The long sword on the door looks like my German dove tail sword. It should be marked on the blade and the brass will have German military emblems. Value around $400.00 few years ago not sure now.
Good luck!

I went to the auction preview and checked them out up close. The Argentine bayonet did have the crest ground off, and the long sword was pitted with rust. I decided not to "stick" around as I didn't see anything else interesting. This is the first weekend I came home empty handed in a long time.

Too bad you didn't bid on it. And I knew that Mike would know. It is similar to one I have, and I'll bet "yours" has or had Soligen stamped on it. Mine has a wooden handle--must be the field version and yours was a parade version. Mine still has the crest and even the word Argentina on it.
