This model was cancelled before the delivery of the blades was completed. The existing bayonets at the Swedish arms museum is probably the only ones made. They do not fit any musket.

Picture The bayonet is single edged blade with a short socket, zigzag slot and a locking bolt. The General armourer Johan Siöblad designed the bayonet, that was approved in 18th May 1696. From 1697 they were made with a single edged blade. Johan Erhenpreus (Arboga faktori) was contracted for 530 single edged and 817 double-edged bayonets. (the blades delivered from `Wira bruk' ,see below)

The production ended in 1699, with exception of the modification of the double edged blades. 400 of the original order of double-edged bayonets were manufactured in Stockholm. 1696 is the first time bayonets are mentioned in the books of Stockholm Armoury

Picture Picture Socket bayonet. This is a very strange design, where the previously successful concept was abandoned. The bayonet looks like the m/1696 with a very short socket but with a short straight slot and a locking bolt on the socket. The blade is single-edged. This bayonet was designed by war minister Ludvig Fahlström, who obviously must have had other qualities than designing bayonets. This model was not appreciated by king Carl XII and was later cancelled. War minister Fahlström was behind several quite innovative bayonet designs in this period.

Picture Picture Hylsa Socket bayonet. The bayonet of 1704 has a socket with no slot and a stud to hold the locking bolt. The blade is flat and single edged. The stud is soldered to the socket. The bayonet looks like the m/1699 but the socket is longer, and will be the basic bayonet model for the next 40 years. In 1704 was the old concept with a stud on the socket reintroduced by armourer Sjiöblad. He had returned after a couple of years of foreign duty, and had to revert the designs done by Fahlström in his absence. The new bayonet is approved 16th June (or 13st May ?) 1705.

AM.023507 AM.023507 Socket bayonet. This bayonet looks very much like the m/1716 bayonet but the point is more `triangular'. It has a flat, single-edged blade and a socket with the locking bolt on a stud. The Life Squadron was a part of the Garde du Corps that only existed a few years. The history of the Garde du Corps starts as the life guard of King Gustav Wasa in the 16th century, and in 1699 His Majesty’s Garde du Corps became an independent unit. It was however under the command of King Carl XII they became the famous and feared Garde du Corps (“drabantkår”). The Corps never exceeded 200 men, and men in the unit had the rank of an officer. The commander of the Corps had the title Leuitenant Captain (“kaptenlöjtnant”) but the rank of Major General. When King Carl XII returned returned from the disaster in Poltava, his Garde du Corps was reduced to only a few men. In an attempt to recreate the elite unit he set up the “Life Squadron” (“Livkvadronen”) which was subordinated to the Garde du Corps. The Life Squadron consisted of less than 400 men and officers. Their commanding officer was Leuitenant Captain Carl Gustaf Hård from the Garde du Corps. In 16th Decemebr 1716 the Life Squadron was formed. They were armed with the highest quality weapons of the time, and i.e. 400 muskets were ordered from both Jönköping and Örebro factories, so the unit could select the best ! The other 400 were stored. The muskets and bayonets were approved in 28th of May 1717. The Life Squadron was dissolved in 1720, and one of the last assignements was at King Carl XII’s funeral procession.

Picture Picture Picture Klingor Socket bayonet. The bayonet of 1747 was the first with a triangular blade. Typical of bayonets from the time is the guard on the blade base and the socket with a collar, that can be found on bayonets from many other countries. One of the purposes of the guard is to give support for the scabbard. The socket has a butterfly locking bolt behind the shank and a zig-zag slot. The arm has a square cross section and the arm is triangular with a flat inner side. The bayonet shall be mounted at the left side of the barrel. It was approved in 1748. Both musket and bayonet m/1747 was manufactured in many examples,and can be found in many manufacturing variations (e.g. blade witdh, thickness of the arm).

In 1831-32 trials were done in a larger scale and in 1833 the model m/1833 was approved. m/1833 is a conversion of older flintlock rifles to perussion rifles. The conversion was not done until 1846 according to J Alm. Bayonets m/1747 and m/1762 are shortened to about 600 mm length and they have a short straight slot with a basal locking ring. On bayonet m/1747 the old mortize was kept open on the other side of the socket !

Picture Socket bayonet. The 12,17 mm chamber loading rifle m/1864 was designed by F. A. Hagström and approved in 17th July 1864[4]. The rifle m/1864 (and m/1860-64) were never really issued to troops as it was obsolete before it was delivered. In 1864 - 1866 there were 14886 rifles m/1864 manufactured and about 4000 rifles m/1860 modified to chamber loaders[4]. As the unit cartridge was introduced, it was decided in 18th November 1868 that the m/1864 should be adapted to the Remington mechanism[2]. This model is designated m/1864-68. Only 800 bayonets were manufactured. See m/1864-68, marked 1869 The fuller starts circa 150 mm from the shank The rifle was also popular among rifle associations, and it is not uncommon with civilian rifles. The bayonet has a zigzag slot and a wide basal locking ring. The blade is triangular with fullers and it has no shoulders. It can be found browned or polished.

The hilt is of steel and tube shaped. It is hollow. When the bayonet is locked to the rifle, the ramrod is inserted into the bayonet hilt. The bayonet hilt and scabbard are blued, the blade is polished. The bayonet has a conical locking stud. The first years this bayonet was manufactured with a flat locking stud and was in a more brown colour rather than blued. It is also said that it was made with a double edged blade in the beginning. Approved 15/10 1897 by General Order 1329. In the same GO was the bayonet locking device for rifle m/1896 approved (!). The first 280.000 bayonets were made by Eskilstuna Jernmanufactur AB between 1899 to 1912. In 1912 the tools were sold to Carl Gustaf Stad And and they took over the production from 1913. There are a number of variations of this bayonet: : Dress bayonet, nicle plated, (most often the early model with flat locking stud !). Dagger. There are a number of variations. They were made by EJ AB in the very early years of 20th century. One variation where the blade is replaced with a little flag. This is used in exerscice by one man to keep the direction/lines ('riktkarl') of the troup. One variation with a bolt to connect an earth cable, m/1912 (issued to signallers, to be used as earth connection). [9] The bayonet was used even into the 1990s.

The scabbards of the later bayonets are wider close to the point. This bayonet was used by mounted troops in the army, mainly the cavalry and at ceremonial guard dury. The mounted troops had a very special leather frog, to carry the bayonet in a 45 deg. angle. In the late 1950's the most carbines were disposed. The remaining carbines are used by "Livgardet" and for ceremonial duties. See separate article here.
