Well at least two of them anyway. The top is the Model 1914 Pioneer model and has a wicked saw back. Blade is 18.9 inches and the overall is about 24 inches. They were issued to 1911 Carbine models and the K31 Schmidt Rubens. The bottom is a more conventional Swiss Bayonet the 1918 model. It's has a 11.8 inc blade and is about 17 inches overall in length. This model was issued to the 1911 Carbine and the K31 as well.

Another view showing it mounted on a K31. I think the saw teeth show up much better in this view.

Heres a saws eye view of the teeth on this bad boy. This model was built in 1934.
