    Description

    This is a model 1889 Swedish cruciform bayonet. In and about 1889 the Swedes went to a 8mm cartridge requiring an update modification to the  existing bayonets. This required a smaller socket diameter on the bayonet. This was achieved by cutting off the old larger socket just above the shank and brazing a new one with a shorter length. See photos
    I listed as a non modified item as it was an original conversion. Your call if you considerate an original or not
    See BAYONETS by MARTIN J BRANLEY page 205.
    Note time period listed 1903-13 is the closest that I statused circa is probably 1889 ==  >
