To come up with any type of rational info will require close up photos of individual knives of at least 800X1200 pixel. Both sides, full handle shot both sides full blade shot both sides.
That being said the two knives in top photo have a possibility of being real. The top has the looks of an Australian knife and the bottom sort of has similarities to a British
Parsons. The bottom photo top knife looks to have a foundry poured handle, no other info can be gleaned The bottom knife has appearance of a bench made sub hilt fighter from a later bayonet(looks like an M7 but can't tell) maybe as late as Desert Storm.
Be sure to take close ups of any and all markings also. Please do not rely on any of my thoughts as they are entirely off the cuff and may have no accuracy what so ever.

Thanks for the info, I am going to be bidding on these at auction and really just wanted to know if they were real and what type of money to spend on them.
Thanks again...
Thanks again...

I believe they were sometimes refered to as Trench Knives. (WW1 ?)
