Question On #4 Enfield Bowie Blade Bayonet Value?

[P51MUSTANG]

I have Two new in wrap bowie blade bayonets for the number 4MK2. They are wrapped in green paper with heavy cosmolene and unissued. There are no scabbards. I bought them about 30 years ago. What are they worth today? TIA......

some sold (none wrapped) less scabbard from $19 to $50 each(completed auctions)

I would put your at the top of that number

"...Bowie blade bayonets..." Isn't a Bowie(that's very American) but there are a couple No. 4 Rifle 'Knife' bayonets having blades vs spikes, assorted. A No. 7 Mk 1, with the handle(with just the blade it's a No. 9 bayonet.) and socket that rotates, depending on condition, can run $345 to nearly $400. A Mark 1 cruciform blade spike bayonet in poor condition fetches $165ish. On collectorssource.com and in Canadian dollars. It's really sad when one's toys are your retirement fund. sniff.
Where the thing was made will change the value too. A South African No. 9 runs about $35US. Pakistan made 'em too.

Oh and the Mk 2 used the same bayonets as the Mk I*.
"...$50 each..." That is an ancient value.

lots of hits, but none that have no scabbard and still wrapped, in the price range I mentioned,

if we knew who made it, we may be able to get a better or closer value,

true, but the also are a good venue to sell (very large audience vs some other sites), sometimes buy, and check retails,
