I had a WW2 sword with shark skin wrap on the handle and prayer rag tied to it. I sold it 20 years ago for $250. It was in terrible condition because it had been stored in a damp cellar . Not much help Im afraid. There were alot of these sent back home from soldiers abroad

The bayonet is from Arisaka, you need to look at the stigma to determine the manufacturer.
The flags of Japan are not expensive.
Wakidzasi sword - remove the handle, see if there is a mark of the master. If there is a stigma - you can determine the approximate cost. The sword must be saved from moisture and corrosion.
Kimono - ???? age, price - must be studied.
