These triangular bayonets were conversions of the M1867 socket bayonet used with the 12.17 mm Remington Rolling Block Rifle. They were converted by the Swedish and Danish for use with the 8mm M1867-89 Rolling block rifles in the early 1890s.
A great look and conversation piece for the military collector to decorate the game room, office, man cave or gun room.
Consists of 3 bayonets that are welded together with a Swedish brass lion with crown decorative emblem bolted to the center.)
Stamp marks indicate:
26th Regiment. Vaxholm Grenadier Regiment 1902-1928. (Looks like the number 2 in "26 R 4 K" was stamped at a later time. Was originally designated for 6th Regiment.).
17th Regiment. The Bohuslän Regiment 1661-1992. "17 R B".
6th Regiment. North Scanian Infantry Regiment 1812-1963 or The Västgöta Regiment 1811-1927(both were designated 6th regiment). "6 R 3 K".
