Default Bayonet Identification needed.

I was recently bequeathed a number of bayonets, khukuris and foils by an old friend but I am unable to identify two of the bayonets.
Also included in the bequeath was a French Artillery Short Sword with the numbers 537 on the hilt.

The first one is probably WWI vintage as the font of the marks look similar to other WWI bayonets I have. This one is longer being 16 3/16th inches (416mm) overall with a 11 inch blade (279mm). It has a large hooked quillon and has a spike type of blade with 4 sides. There is some machined flattening on the sides of the spike.( Different on each side.) The ricasso has some marks on the it. There are the letters SG on the lower side and unidentifiable crown or something on the upper. There are also an identifying mark E9?5 on the quillon.

The second one is Asian in appearance as the mark looks Japanese or similar. It is just over 14 inches long (370mm) and has a blade of 9 5/8th inches (246mm). and a hooked quillon.


Any help identifying these will be appreciated.

Regards Rick.
