For Swedish Knife Bayonet m/1896
for the Swedish Mauser m/1896, m/1938 and Ag m/42 (Ljungman rifle).
Bayonets were delivered to the Army in pieces and upon arrival assembled to complete bayonets.
The construction will only take a short blade. The short tang will never allow a long blade and the locking construction was too weak for a long blade. The first bayonets from 1896 were delivered with a flat locking device, but these were soon exchanged for the conical loc
king device like on this bayonet.
This blade was made in Eskilstuna Iron manufacture company (EJ AB) which is stamped on one side of the ricasso. On the other side of the ricasso are the Swedish Royal Acceptance Crown and a number.
These were used by the Swedish Army for at least 100 years!
