Real or replica?

Due to the difference in price, distant photos and both sayings: "You get what you pay for" and "If it seems too good to be true it probably is", I'm assuming replica, but I have no way of telling without better photos.

After doing manufacturer research, I'm assuming real on this one, but I'm guessing. Any confirmation on one of either would be much appreciated!!!

In my opinion, the Mauser bayonet looks authentic, not able to guess on the sabers. My 2 cents.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I contacted the seller on the ceremonial sabre and he said it was a replica for show only, not sharpened, so that one got answered. I agree on the bayonet. Thanks for the second opinion! I've had bad luck on my bids lately (or good luck if you consider my bank account). We'll see how it goes!
