First, that bayonet is for an M1 Garand, not a Mauser.
The Mauser looks good, but the value all depends on condition and matching numbers originality. It could be worth anywhere from $250 to over $800.

The carbine at the bottom is a Modello 1891 "Carcano" cavalry carbine.
Unfortunately, the folding bayonet has been discarded, bayonet pivot ground off and butt plate replaced with rubber pad. The "sporterizing" or "bubba-izing" has substantially reduced its value to less than $150.

The rubber pad on the 98K destroys its collector value. It is worth no more than $400 as a shooter.

The Mauser is a German K.98k, made in 1943 at the Mauser factory in Oberndorf a/Neckar (code byf). It appears to have been polished and reblued and the stock refinished with a rubber butt plate; its collector value has been effectively destroyed. The bayonet is US, either an M5 (M1 rifle) or M6 (M14 rifle).
