Thanks Eric for your reply. 111 lookers and you are the first to help. Could the second one be Turkish?
Regards Rick.

Number 5 is a Swedish AG42b semi auto rifle bayonette if I am seeing clearly. WWII and postwar. The rifles are common in Canada, but the ammo is not anymore. If someone wanted to make a pairing, ask $125 and bargain down.

Hi Rick

Yes it certainly could be Turkish. The picture I have shows a knife bayonet for the M1903 Mauser rifle.

According to The Bayonet Book it has an

overall length of 14.875" (377.82mm)
blade length of 10" (254mm)
Muzzle ring dia of .610" (15.49mm)

They state that it was of cruder construction than the M1903 sword bayonet and it lacks any manufacturing marks. It came with an all steel scabbard and there is the possibility that it was made later than 1903 and is possibly of Turkish manufacture.

Eric
