Even the common Swedish bayonet M1896 is faked.
These could be bought on eBay in the 90's
The reproduction is quite well manufactured, most markings and details are there. But if you have ever held a real M1896 bayonet, the differences are quite obvious.
The most noticable differences are
- The grip is casted.
- Thinner handle
- Blade is welded to the grip.
- Markings on the blade and guard are badly aligned and casted instead of struck.
- Markings on the scabbard are uneven.
- Scabbard mouthpiece has not the "sharp" edges of the original.
Strap broken.
These bayonets are now rarely offered, most of them are in collections.
