Question Arisaka bayonets

Hi folks, Picked up two Japanese bayonets - one with a frog. The one with the curved quillon appears to be earlier and the other a later model. I'm new to Japanese collecting and would kindly accept any comments on these examples. I paid $140 for the older and $125 for the later model with frog. I'm guessing the price for the older one was a little high and older example was in the bargain area. Neil H.

Info and value needed on scarce R.A.F Flying mask

I got this mask a couple years back from my neighbour who bought it at a military airfield right after the war, and it has most likely been used in the 331-332 R.A.F (Norwegian) squadron, and I would like some information about it and possibly what it is worth(I’m not selling it btw).
