    Enfield Musket probably .65 Calibre
    Couple of Bowie knives, Very good quality could be worth a lot of money.
    1907 British bayonet and a French Bayonet 1870's and a socket bayonet.
    A Kukri good quality.
    Regards Jeff

    Tower lock, trigger guard & barell band on muskett (barrel could be anything), short bayonet German K98 (may be contract ) brass pomell looks like French Gras, socket bayonet poss Brown Bess, ribbed brass grip looks like French Chassepot. Bowies, lh late pattern Sheffield possibly W Rodgers, Knowill but will have marking on hilt, rh German Solingen made forged blade with welded tang, usually found with hardwood grips both@ late 60's 70's.
    I have both the Sheffield bowie Ipurchased in 1968 and the "African Hunter" was a gift in 1980. Kukri should be WD Broad Arrow marked (but not allways!), 1907 Enfield looks about right.
    All should be marked just need to googlgly.

    not very clear pics esp when blown up.....lock and hammer looks to be kyber pass copies...
    remove lock by taking out the two side nails and lock should come out . might have to cock hammer.
    is they are makers initials or names there....if english they should be but none if foreign made.
    when lock is out check lock mortice to see if its rough cut out or new looking.
    british guns were very well made whereas kyber pass versions were just hacked out so to speak.
    the barrel is definately not british maybe belgian and made to fit.
