Two swords a bayonet and a war club

Have not really id'd any of them yet. Any of you fine peoples input would be appreciated. I did some looking on the bayonet, the guy I got it from said it was Austrian. Wrong, it is a Danish M.1867 first model. Its tough to find anything that old with a leather scabbard still intact and in pretty darn good condition. Should you have a spring latching mechanism for it I would appreciate a PM. My thoughts say the large sword is from the spanish american war. Toledo made, exlnt condition, the scabbard is Toledo marked also. The smaller sword is a Japanese NCO, a five digit serial so its early. The writing might as well be Latin for me to read. It has been cut down as well as its sheath. Fair condition.
We all get something every now and then that we wish to be real, probably not in the case of the ceremonial war club but it's neat anyway.
Take a look and tell it like it is.

SK;
Wish I knew more but I was just minding my own business walking through an estate sale, I felt something unusual, Looked down and that fella had made it's way into my hand. Some things are just inexplicable,
they just happen. Yes the toledo is neat.
