My name is Per Holmbäck, and I have been collecting bayonets since the late 1980's. I have had this web site since 1997. Scandinavian bayonets is my primary interest, but all 'odd' bayonets are interesting. I always look for trial/experimental bayonets as well as cadet/training models. Take a look at my trade pages, there is a list of what I am currently looking for.

Reference section

Here is a collection of my personal notes, which is a mixture of own notes, information from other collectors and information from books and magazines.
The pictures are from my own collection, as well as from other collections.
Please send me a mail if you have any comments or corrections.

I need your help to update the stamp sections. Please mail me the markings on your Scandinavian (socket) bayonets.

Help wanted !

Under this section, I will present information about bayonets that I or someone else needs help to identify. This is kind of experimental..... Any information is greatly appreciated, and will probably be published with the bayonet.
