So would the swedish to on the K31?

The Yugoslavian bayonet will go on the Model 24 rifle but was actually manufactured for the Model 48. The Swedish bayonet is for the Model 1896 rifle and short rifle. The K31 is Swiss, not Swedish and this bayonet is not compatible.

Cool. The gun this gies to is a lot older than I thought it was. Is there a way to find out where in swedin that it was made, Or even the company that made it?

There should be markings on the blade that would indicate the manufacturer.

Just because it's an 1896 rifle, doesn't mean that's when it was made. They regular production ran till 1936. Very good rifles and bayonets although the bayonet is a pretty common one.

From my research on Swedish 1896 Bayonets

1899 - 1912 - Bayonets were made by Eskilstuna Jernmanufactur AB (EJ-anchor-AB)
1913 - 1964 Bayonets were made by Carl Gustafs Stads (Crown/C)
1899 - 1933 - Many bayonets had unit markings
1901 - 1964 - Might not have had unit markings

The other marking you might see is EAB, which I don't have much information on. I am not exactly sure when they started producing bayonets and when they stopped. I have bayonets with all 3 markings on them.

Since your Bayonet has both unit markings and the EJ-anchor-AB mark I would date it between 1899 & 1912. If it didn't have unit markings then it would probably be closer to 1912 than 1899. In either case, since it has the EJ-anchor-AB mark, it should have been made prior to 1913.
