Antique bayonet auctions: military bayonets, all eras, searched at once

Military bayonets span two centuries of infantry equipment, from Napoleonic-era socket bayonets through both World Wars to modern issue, and country of origin, maker's marks, scabbard completeness and blade condition all factor into value. A matched bayonet and scabbard from a specific armoury or arsenal is worth notably more than an unmarked blade alone.

Why bayonet lots get missed

General militaria sellers often list a bayonet simply as "old bayonet" without identifying the country or arsenal marking, so a genuinely scarce example can sit unrecognised inside a listing that looks entirely ordinary.

One search across every platform

Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches the-saleroom, EasyLive, Bidspotter, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously, alongside eBay. Search a country or force like "French bayonet" or "German bayonet," a conflict, or "antique bayonet" generally and results return across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.

Real results for "antique military bayonet": a genuine Spanish Toledo artillery bayonet with leather scabbard, found in one search.

It works by searching from inside your own browser, the same as opening and searching each site yourself, just done in seconds. Nothing is stored on our servers, permissions are minimal, and the extension never places a bid on your behalf.

Alerts: for the countries or forces you collect

Save a search (a country or force, a conflict, or "antique bayonet" generally) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay, rather than relying on remembering to check each one.

Want to try before installing?

The same search box works on this website with no install at all for eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Featured Auction catalogues, a quick way to see matching bayonet lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.

Built for how bayonet collectors actually work

Save any lot with one click from search results, export your shortlist as a printable PDF or CSV before a sale, and on the day itself the optional live bridge feeds the auctioneer's asking price into the free bid calculator, so your maximum (with buyer's premium and any applicable taxes included) is always in front of you.
