This Swedish Mauser Bayonet's been in the family for YEARS. It was made during WW2 for the 6.5mm M96, M38 and M42b Ljungman rifles. I don't have much info on it other than my Grandad brought it back from overseas. Sure is nice lookin though. It's in great shape and carries a lot of sentimental value...

It's got the year 1939 marked into the leather on the back of the scabbard...

Here's my Romanian AKM-47 Type One bayonet...

Image

Image


Fits any standard AK-47 barrel. The protective coated steel Scabbard hooks onto the Bowie-style blade to form a wire cutter. Handle and Scabbard are made from a rugged non-electricity-conducting synthetic. hefty, sharp 5 3/4" carbon steel blade with serrated spine. Scabbard with belt loop Measures 10 3/4" weighs 1 lb.


It wouldn't be right if I didn't throw in a shot of the bayonet on my AK...

Great looking bayonets! I was wondering, what type of blade does yours have. When I bought mine, the blade was really dull but it had a great point to it. Is this just how bayonets are made or did I just happen to get a dull one?

Looks like mine's about the same. It's only sharp enough to cut butter...

M1942 16" bayonet for my Springfield Armory M1 Garand ( circa 1944 )

==================================================================

M1959 6H3 bayonet for my Yugoslavian AKMS[P] {tritium-illuminated night sights}(circa 1970)

Image

The blade forms a wire-cutting device when coupled with its scabbard. The polymer grip and upper part of the scabbard provide insulation from the metal blade and bottom part of the scabbard to safely cut electrified wire.

M7 bayonet for my M4 carbine ( circa 1980 )

I have a 1914 German Mauser blade.
It's from a reserve battalion from Northern Germany and was gifted to by a friend when I was a teenager, which seems so long ago now.

Well you could not hide it in the Sunday paper, if you wear it on your belt it goes down past the knee, a bit extreme for a Long rifle, I once owned a Swedish Mauser and I could understand why the swedes went with a shorter blade

Well, they were still fighting with massed charges of infantry..."fix bayonets" was the way of war back then. Even US infantry had long bayonets attached to long rifles when WWII started...

We were in the Throws of our own war back then.
I have another bayonet I must root out, it is off a Musket from the 1798 Irish rebellion

Yes, I'm aware of that short ( 24 May – 23 September 1798 ) rebellion.

Éirí Amach 1798, also known as the United Irishmen Rebellion ( Éirí Amach na nÉireannach Aontaithe), was an uprising in 1798, lasting several months, against British rule in Ireland. The United Irishmen, a republican revolutionary group influenced by the ideas of the American and French revolutions, were the main organizing force behind the rebellion.

Oh I know that, My Granny told us all the stories when we were kids!
The fact that a Bayonet was found in the Tatched Roof of the Old house added a bit of realism to the story ;)

Man, yall found the soft spot in my heart here... Bayonets are awesome, and so much history, thats what really gets me, where have these things been and what have they been through.

Possessing a small piece of history... I dont have any of my own, I see German bayonets frequently it seems at the flea market, but around these parts, Cincinnati having had a very large German population, its not surprising I suppose. Thats what I'm guessing anyway.

I need to get one, or a few!

The double egded P'03 is my fav of the ones I've posted above.
Seems to have "elegance" for a lack of a better term.

It's pretty hard to say which"one"is my over-all favourite , I do have quite a collection.

The M1 Garand bayo is a beauty...
Image

...and so is the K98 bayo...

...part of my Brit- Canadian - Indian collection which I have hangin' around...lol
