Hello Guys,
This is a knife I aquired recently from a friend who is serving in the Danish Army.
He informs me that it is used by the Swedish SF and as you can see the blade should be familiar to those who know the Swedish Mauser 1896 bayonet.
They have used the blade of the bayonet and fitted it to a wooden handle and scabbard. the bayonet is all metal and would freeze in the hand ,wood does not. They wear it to the front of the belt and high.
I have not been able to research this any further so any help appreciated.
It looks quite a nice knife.
Regards
Jim
Thought of shearing here with you some images here.
This unique US passport is extra interesting because the holder was issued a Special Passport, due to her being an official for the UN, serving with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Agency (UNRRA), first in Greece and Egypt (1944-46) then in occupied Germany and Austria for the IRO, assisting post-war refugees.
