edit:

it's a Swedish M1896 bayonet, which was designed for the mauser m1896 and m1938. the m1896 was a swedish mauser, and has a long ass history behind it, here to read up on your mausers. >> http://www.answers.com/topic/mauser

i couldn't find any information on the mauser m1938, it may have been used in wwii.


all i know is that this bayonet i got was used in war. there are all kinds of grooves and certain wears and tears in it give hint to war. i'm now the proud owner of a war artifact.
