Swedish Mauser Bayonet With Scabbard and Frog

The Swedish Mauser Bayonet with Scabbard and Frog is a standard-issue edged weapon formerly used by the Swedish armed forces. Designed to accompany the Swedish Mauser bolt-action rifles, such as the m/1896 and m/1938 models, the bayonet features a straight, single-edged blade, typically measuring approximately 8 inches in length. The handle is constructed from blued steel and wood or synthetic grips, depending on the period of manufacture. This item includes a metal scabbard designed to protect the blade, along with a leather frog, which allows for attachment to a military belt. The bayonet is equipped with a locking mechanism for secure attachment to the rifle’s muzzle. Issued from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century, this bayonet represents standard military equipment for Swedish infantry during this period. The set is of interest for collectors and historians focusing on Scandinavian military artifacts and 20th-century European military history.
