Swedish 1896 Mauser Bayonet?

[mrclean099]

When I was a crazy teenager, I came into possession of an old bayonet. I've had it for many, many years. After digging it out of a box a few days ago, I became curious about what rifle it goes with. After some searching, I discovered that it belongs to a Swedish 1896 Mauser, which is somewhat of a collectors' item. Do you think anybody would want it?

The bayonet is in fairly good shape. There is no corrosion on the handle and scabbard. There is a tiny amount of corrosion on the blade, and tons of scratches. The edge is still very sharp. I imagine the blade could be buffed and polished to remove the tiny specks of rust and light scratches.

What are the #'s on the bayo?

The numbers at the base of the blade on the hilt are 178. The numbers on the scabbard are 967.

There is also this little crown marking next to the numbers on both the blade and the scabbard.

After looking on e-bay, I found several of these bayonets going for around $20-30 a piece. They must not be that valuable because I know I didn't pay that much more for it either.


Thanks,

Thanks for checking the #'s and posting. I am looking for a certain #, unfortunatly either one of those isn't it.
