    Old bayonet knife...ID, value, restoration?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if this is the most appropriate forum, but it is the one that came up in my searches. But for all my searching I'm still not very much closer to an answer. If there's better people to contact then please put us in touch.

    I have just picked up this bayonet off the windowsill in a shed...it's probably been there 20 years plus. The owner of the shed (a pig hunter) also has dad's 189X dated .303 enfield/martini (I'm not sure of it's marque - and I'm not sure they're related)

    Any help in ID'ing it gratefully recieved.

    My next question comes down to value and restoration.
    Personally: I have no use for a knife that doesn't work.
    Obviously: this has not been looked after for a hundred years or more.
    So my question then becomes is there any value in the thing as it is, for a museum or whatever. Or, can I go ahead and de-rust and re-profile the steel, and fix the hilt. And if I am to fix the hilt, I assume it would be english beech?

    Cheers and beers.
