Pretty sure this is a bayonet for a swedish 96 mauser. Ive had it since the 90’s, but i saw one online for 300$ ish, are they really worth much? Or only certain ones? Another place i saw they were under 100$... any knowledgeable folks on value for these?

Yep, it’s a late-model M96 bayonet, with an EJAB logo. Here’s what it says in my copy of the book “Crown Jewels: The Mauser in Sweden,” page 246:

Several variations of these are known, serially numbered and marked with the EJAB logo, but there is no record of their actually having been officially issued, and it is thought that these were privately purchased for use as dress daggers or field knives.

As for value, I’ve seen EJAB marked bayonets in excellent condition around $80-120.
