Can't really see the top one well as it doesn't open up any larger but I would guess a bayonet.
Bottom one,my initial thought was turkish so,scimitar?
But don't be RELIANT on my answer.
Gulp, and there was me thinking Doe was such a placid little dodo !!!

Thanks Blue,
I have written a note to say I found these during lockdown 2020, they might be a bayonet & scimitar (Turkish ?). Wrapped them back up and will put them back where I found them in loft today.
Many thanks

Husband says that the top one is definitely a bayonet and probably French.

Doe,
The top one is undoubtedly a bayonet.
The bottom one, well if could get to the British Museum they have at least 2 for you to see..
I will let the images explan the details. (need to be careful what you write on a forum for this subject, spybots are looking for certain words to act upon!)

If it was me that found them I would get them to the Museum in Liverpool or get Cato Crane Auctioneers in Liverpool to value them.
If you sold them you could donate the money to the guides.
Who ever were to find them in the future would probably sell them any way.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain.
I agree with the bear!
