Original Item. Only One available. This is quite rare, and is a very nice example of a Danish Model 1889/93 Bayonet, intended for use on the Krag–Jørgensen Gevær M/1889 Rifle. The original Model 1889 bayonet featured a checkered leather grip but was improved in 1893 with this version having a wood grips secured by brass rivets. The bayonet is 13 3/4 inches overall, with a 9 inches long single edged fullered blade. The design is somewhat interesting, with a a triangular lever on the pommel of the bayonet moving the bayonet lock.
This very nice example is marked HVV over KØBHVN (Short for Copenhagen Arsenal), as well as CROWN / 02, probably for manufacture or acceptance in 1902. The pommel bears a serial number of 54553, which should match the rifle it was issued to. The other side has two Danish regimental markings, with one crossed out.
The bayonet and matching scabbard are in very good used condition, without any major issues or defects. The blade is nice, with sharpening and no major nicks or dents, and the grips are nicely broken in. The scabbard has solid leather, and locks correctly onto the crossguard of the bayonet.
A great example of a rare bayonet, ready to display!
