Swedish M1867 Remington Rolling Block Socket Bayonet

Swedish M1867 Remington Rolling Block socket bayonet, an original 19th-century military bayonet associated with the armed forces of Sweden. This bayonet was designed for use with the Swedish 12.17mm Remington rolling block rifle adopted during the late 1860s as part of Sweden’s modernisation of infantry firearms.

The bayonet features a steel cruciform blade with socket mounting and locking ring assembly, allowing secure attachment to the rifle barrel while maintaining the weapon’s firing capability. The robust socket construction reflects the practical military design standards of the period, intended for durability in field service and close combat use.

The Swedish M1867 Remington rolling block rifle was based on the Remington rolling block action developed in the United States and adapted for Swedish military service. Socket bayonets of this type accompanied the rifle during the transitional era from muzzle-loading arms to modern breech-loading military firearms in Europe.

Bayonets of the M1867 pattern formed part of standard infantry equipment during the late 19th century and are collected for their connection to Scandinavian military history and early rolling block rifle systems.

Manufactured in steel with a fitted socket and locking ring mechanism, this example represents a classic form of late 19th-century European military bayonet design.
