BAYONET, Finnish, M28-30

The Finnish Civil Guard designed sword bayonets for its M28 and M28-30 rifles. The first M28 bayonet is similar to the M27; so similar that they are basically identical. The only differences are internal. The second Civil Guard bayonet, for the M28-30 rifle, was left in the white. The fancy wooden bolsters are made of curly birch. The bayonet had a re-designed blade with grip panels attached with screw type fasteners, as opposed to the rivets on earlier bayonets. This made repairs much easier, using a special tool. A fluted steel scabbard had been issued with the bayonet but proved to be unsuitable. It got replaced with new blued smooth steel scabbard. A cleaning / oiling hole was added to the pommel. The M28-30 bayonet was manufactured by both Hackman & Co and Fiskars between 1934 – 1939; producing about 28,000 bayonets. Manufactured by Hackman, and so marked on the ricasso. It comes in a smooth scabbard, and has a bright blade. The Civil Guard markings “SKY” and “-S-” acceptance stamps are stamped on the ricasso and cross guard. Finnish manufacturers delivered only about 130,000 sword style bayonets to their Army and Civil Guard by 1945. Compare that to the MILLIONS of bayonets produced for the Mauser/Enfield/Mosin Nagant families of rifles! These Finnish bayonets are considered rare, and getting more so with time.
