M96 Swedish Mauser bayonet
Finally picked up a bayonet for my mauser, have to say it looks mighty fine and completes the gun nicely.
Not to familiar with theses bayonets, from what i read EJ made bayonets from 1899-1912? apparently this is a late model at that? If someone could clarify and add info it would be much appreciated. Bayonet and Scabbard dont match. I very much like the design of these tho.
Nice bayonet. Seems to be in fine condition
with most, if not all of it's original finish.
I think you are correct about it being
a later version, as I believe the one
previous to this had wood grips.
Back in the 80's, I saw a boxful of these
- maybe 30 or 40 bayonets with little
or no finish remaining, selling for
$8.99 each. Should have bought
the whole box........!

Steve.
thanks, and WOW that would have been a steal
Not really-well used examples of the m/96 bayos are pretty common-the rifles and their bayos were produced and used over a very long period of time-the rifle bayos were always all metal-only the various later (and longer) carbine bayos have conventional wood grips but these don't fit on the rifles. This is my unissued example (no unit markings).

Do you mean the egyptian "Hakim" ?
Bayonets of Egypt
Nice Bayo Phil!!
I really like the Swedish M96 bayo!!! such good quality... here's my example with correct scabbard and frog... the low number 004 got me exited until I did a little research... it seems as though the Swedish army just reset the numbers back to 000 when they reached a highest number limit!! lol

thats what i was thinking too
I read about the numbers as well, however it makes it easier to find one that matches your gun ahaha
Nice Bayonet M1896, but unfortunatly not matching
before i owned an M96 these bayonets were everywhere but all of a sudden, when im looking for one i cant find one so i said screw it ill take whatever comes up for sale next
