This week's artifact is a 22 inch bayonet and scabbard that date from around 1915. The bayonet is a Danish model for the Krag Jorgensen rifle possibly made by the Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk Company. It has a "Haerens Tojhus" armory stamp on it. This bayonet was given to us as part of a collection of weapons by Grover Corley.
