Need some information on authentic german medals, etc.

These were all stripped from dead German soldiers/areas by my Great Uncle in the European theater. So they are all 100% authentic.

Was just curious if you guys knew anything about these items and what they might be worth? Sorry for the crappy quality. Took them with my phone camera. :p

Mosin Nagant restoration/preservation

So I picked up this Mosin Nagant yesterday which was in a rather bad condition, this in a way attracted me, so I decided I had to get it. I think I am going to keep it in this condition, but I still want to disassemble it, clean the insides, fix the trigger mechanism and try to preserve it the best I can. It is pretty beat up, and I think keeping it in this condition is a great way of honoring it’s long and hard life.

When disassembling it, I ran into a wall, one of the screws is pretty rusted and will not move, I could really use help on this one:

Identification help needed, please.

Hi. I’m a new member so please advise me if I breach any protocols.

My sister discovered this bayonet in a plowed field outside of Clovis, NM. The blade is currently rusted into the scabbard, so any stampings are not visible. In many ways, it resembles some of the Arisaka Type 30’s, but it also resembles some of the Remington Rolling Block varieties, and the Mauser 1909.

Not visible in the photos is the metal bead, or ball, on the tip of the scabbard.

Any and all identification help will be appreciated.
Thank youAttachment 348646Attachment 348647Attachment 348648Attachment 348649
