Need help with sword and bayonet

Didn't work out too well doing this from my phone.. Sorry
Very interesting. Hope someone is able to identify them.
Would the bayonet be from a trapdoor Springfield? Its been over 45 years but when I was a kid my dad had a trapdoor Springfield with a bayonet similar to that as well as 22lra spade that attached to the end of the bbl as well. The spade looked more like a brick masons tool than something to dig graves with. But id did fit the end of the gun.
Disregard the 22lr part. Not sure how that happened
The bayonet appears to be either a pattern 1853 Enfield or a Russian M91 bayonet. Not sure about the sword....handle looks french from mid-late 1800’s but i’m not sure
Thank You for taking a look guys.
You might get a lot more info posting on KnifeDogs.com, Bladeforums.com, KNF.com, or iKnife.com
Both items appear to be military (of course) and in very decent condition. Also there is usually a "Relic/Militaria" group that hosts a show every year at the Cobb Civic Center in Marietta that might be a place to get them evaluated. Check with CCC to see when it's scheduled.
