FOR VALOUR Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Hello, Clearing out some items inc this, I know its a swedish mauser bayonet but can you help identify the markings please? Regards David
Mervyn Mitton Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 The important and visible marking is the Regt. mark on the top of the scabbard. East African Battalion springs to mind - but was there a unit with this name. If German the initials would be different. Anyone have any ideas ? Mervyn
christerd Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 What I can see of the scabbard marking it belonged to Infantery Regiment 21 Which was in Kalmar ( south East of Sweden) 1893-1927 Christer
peter monahan Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Don't know where they served but I agree that "I 21" almost certainly means "Infantry [battalion] 21". Rack or issue number '206' which was for some reason changed to '191'. I'd guess that the 'EAB' might be the same as the 'EAJB' marking on the guard - a manufactory mark.
