This bayonet was recently acquired from a top European bayonet collector. These are like HEN'S TEETH: they are very rare and very seldom encountered! The bayonet has the standard Swedish M-1914 Rifle bayonet hilt, but instead of the expected 13\" double sided blade, this Naval Model has an EXTRA LONG single edged blade with fuller that measures ALMOST 20\" in length, overall length almost 25\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo rare few collectors have ever seen one in the flesh, only in book Comes complete with its long all steel scabbard that locks onto the bayonet and freed by pressing the knurled release button at the front of the wood grip. Serial number \u003cstrong\u003e933\u003c\/strong\u003e is stamped on the bayonet's cross guard, and there is a \u003cstrong\u003eCrown and Anchor \"E\" proof\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the maker's mark of \u003cem\u003eEskilstuna Jernmanufactur AB\u003c\/em\u003e (Eskilstuna Iron Manufacturing, Inc.). The scabbard throat is marked \u003cstrong\u003eEAB\u003c\/strong\u003e, indicating it was made by the same manufacturer. There is also a Swedish crown proof on the blade tang between the grip scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall condition is very nice, with just a bit of staining and peppering on the blade. The cross guard with muzzle ring and curved pommel with spring catch are in similar very good condition. The wood grips are solid and secured by the correct screws. The odd hilt design gives away that this is a bayonet designed for a rifle that wasn't originally designed to mount a bayonet. In 1914, M1894 Carbines were altered by the addition of a nose cap that incorporated a bayonet mount. There are a few slight dents in the scabbard body, but they do not interfere with the fit of the scabbard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn overall truly great condition, ready to display or add to your collection!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Length: 19 3\/4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Style: Single Edge with Fuller\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOverall length: 24 7\/8\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCrossguard: 2 3\/4”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScabbard Length: 21\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19122213191749,"sku":"ON7258","price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/ON7258__02.jpg?v=1598112401","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-swedish-m1915-naval-sword-bayonet-by-eskilstuna-for-m1894-14-6-5mm-mauser-carbines","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
