Help ID bayonet

Post by Rookie »

Hey guys, my grandpa came across another interesting object. I could use some expert opinions on what exactly this is, how old, any value, etc.

My initial reaction by the overall look was I thought it was German, however the crown marks on it made me think maybe English. Now after some Google research, perhaps Swedish? It looks a lot like the m/1896 pictures I found online.

-Overall length is right at 13 inches, with 8 1/8 long blade.
-the blade is sharpened on 1 edge only, with fuller groove the full length
-metal scabbard has button stud
-ball end of metal scabbard has "640" on it.
-flat open end of scabbard has "640" and a Crown symbol stamped.
-front side tang on the blade has Crown symbol, and "027"
-rear side tang has Crown symbol, with letter "C" underneath it
-on the guard, front side shows "027" and rear side has Crown symbol with "C" underneath it

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It fits the Swedish M1896 and M38 rifles.......maybe even the 42 semiautomatic rifle.
