I have come into the possession of an old bayonet. Not sure what war it came from, and I would like to find out where it was and what time it was used in. What website would let me look up that kind of information?

With a bayonet, I'd suggest that you look up websites that feature various wars, that have been fought, and check out the rifles, and the equipment shown, especially in any pictures. Not knowing the general design of the bayonet, that you have, it is difficult to offer advice as to what era it might belong to. Also bayonets that have been used in one war, may have been used in a succeeding war, due to a lack of arms, in a certain area or era.

Photograph the bayonet and upload the image to a picture host.
Then post the question and photo to ANY living history / re-enactment / militaria collectors forum. Someone will be able to tell you the time period, type, etc. of your bayonet.

You seem to using a computer to ask on here?
Puzzled as to why you would even have to ask.
There are also libraries everywhere.
