You have two 1904 and two 1904/39?
My one got a none matching bottom metal and trigger guard, how about yours? Is it normal when they change the caliber they change the bottom metal as well or they keep the original? Thanks

Portuguese bayonet or a Kar98K one?
I don't have any Portuguese bayonets, when I went looking they started around $300 for fairly average ones.

Your S84/98 III bayonet is a bit long for the Vergueiro which used the original M1904 bayonets made by Simson of Suhl. They can be found around $200, but with patience. I had to pay $80 for mine when I bought it about 9/10 years ago and prices have jumped for some items. Still worth keeping an eye on fleabay and gunshows as one will pop up at the right price, Cheers.
