P14 bayonet question

I know next to nothing about bayonets, but I know some folks really get into collecting them.

Well, recently a good friend dropped off some parts, including what I presume to be P14 Enfield SMLE bayonets. Both blade type, and the spike or "pig sticker".

I'm sure I have seen the spike style bayonet on rifles in pictures, but I'm not familiar at all with the blade type. However markings on the blade types are like: No9 Mk1, and that screams .303 Enfield to me. Sadly I do not own a (.303 British) P14 Enfield or pattern 1914 Enfield rifle. I do have a couple of 1917's though.

Are these things desirable, or even valuable, or should I just keep an eye out for a friend with a .303 British Enfield, and gift them to him instead?

twenty years later than the p14...........they are the various bayonets for the No4 mk I,II etc of ww2 and beyond.

they go on no4mk1 or no4mkII rifles, not P14's. the spike runs $15-20, and the knife bayonnet $35-50. ballpark figures.

Thank you for all the answers guys.

Think I'm just going to gift them all to my favorite local gun shop.

I hate to `pop` your information bubble, but. These are samples of the bayonets used on the #4 Mk 1 & Mk 2 Lee Enfields of WW 2 time frame and later. The P 14 bayonet was a long bladed affair similar to the 1903 Springfield bayonet.Robert

P14 uses the same bayonet as the US Rifle Model of 1917. Just found a P14 here in Afghanistan.
