If you collect Norwegian WWII (and I do) this is something you probably have not seen or even known about as only a small handful are in North America. In mint un-issued condition, we have a Norwegian Resistance/Goverment in Exile ordered, Swedish made Bayonet for the M1894 Krag Jørgensen Rifle. This is reffered to as the M/1944 Bayonet and it looks like a Modified Swedish 1894 Mauser Carbine Bayonet, a “humpback version”, so to speak. This is no coincidence for the maker Erik Anton Berg (EAB) AB in Eskiltuna, Sweden made bayonet for the 1894 Swedish carbine.
These bayonets were ordered for the Norwegian resistance forces and police units that were training clandestinely in Sweden late in the war. Some did see service use in the war and after. It is estimated that only a few thousand were produced. They will fit the 1894 Rifle but not the M1912 carbine. The bayonet is mint matching still in the grease in like new condition. This will be a must have item for any Norwegian or advanced bayonet collector.
